Tomorow, I'll regret to haven't forced myself to sleep. I will be stone. Without being on anything. Maybe that's good. Being stone. Being half here, and half there. My parallel world in which I am the dance controller, in which things go as I want. That's a way better life, far from this one. Far from the real. Far from everyting and everyone I know.I'm writing with no aim, because I can't find a way to close my eyes and sleep.
I don't wanna sleep tonight because I'm affraid. I'm affraid I will never be the girl I wanted to be. In my mind, I could perfectly see myself with a perfect life... I could. And now, I'm supposed to live it, and there's nothing. I'm the girl affraid to face reality. Even if I act like the girl who has everything under control. That's a decoy. I always refused to appear weak. When people have dubts, I use to make them believe there are no reason to dubt, even if I dubt more than they do. I always wanted to be protective, don't want people to see my weaknesses, being the rude one, the girl who can't be hurt.
I will probably regret saying all that. I guess that faking you're super strong makes you be just strong, right? I'm not weak. But I'm not strong. I'm just a girl. Maybe a proud one.
I used to control my life much more than I do know. I used to handle everything. I was the leader of my life. Now I feel like I'm leaded. I hate it. I hate orders. I hate authority. I hate everything that can stop me from doing and being what I want to. And actually a lot is stopping me. My parents, school, and some persons... I don't know what I can do. The first thing that comes to my mind is to runaway. I don't think living under bridges would be a solution. To be a great absconder, you should better have a great bank account, or you would be a dirty absconder with greasy hair, dirty shoes and a smell that even you wouldn't bear. Another solution is a solution that I can't mentioned here, even as a joke it sounds morbid, and that's absolutely not a solution for this kind of case... or any else.
I don't have anything else. I can't find another way to avoid all the things that are making me feel insecure, not free and not me.
I do have a solution. And I'm not alone in this. There's Nano, the one who will always find the good words. But two years is long. Too long when you think that it will be two years of living the things we hate the most, the things that prevent us to live our dream.
I was born in the wrong place, and - even if I love them and that it hurts me to say it - in the wrong family. I love them, I respect them, and I'm very thanksful for what they've made of me - I think I'm someone with good values, someone that respect people and that deserve respect - but it's difficult to live everyday with people who are really different from you. Not that differences aren't good. They're great. But in a family, when a child has to be under his parents' authority and they these are too much different from the child, it's difficult. My family calls me Rebel. I'm the Wild Child, I fight authority. But my parents always taught me that when you can't live alone because you don't earn your own money, that you need people to live, dress, eat and sleep, these persons deserve all your respect and you must live under their rules. They aren't wrong in the absolut. So I have to be under they rules, because I owe them everything. And this, even if I'm turning 20 next year.
This makes me a little less free. I'm like a wild bird who was captured and put in a zoo. I'm not really happy, I'm not as free as I would like to be, I'm not flying as high as I can, but people are caring me, feeding me. You can't hate people who act for your good, even if they are acting wrong.
So what am I supposed to do? The solution seems easy. Leave. But to leave, I must find a work, earn a lot of money and go. I can't work while being at school.
Leave. Leave everything behind. I don't care. Missing is a feeling I can easily handle. I would miss my family, yes. I'll miss my friends, too. But it won't stop me. Nothing would stop me. Never.
I won't think about people. They won't wait for me to live things. I won't wait for them either. If you don't think about you, about your good, no one will. If I have to go, I will. The goodbye will be temporary, or definitive, I don't mind. Make your decision be more important than everything else.
You have nothing to lose because nothing is permanent.
Tomorrow... or in a few hours, it will be another day. A brand new one. I will be tired. I will probably do wrong things. But everybody makes mistakes. I haven't done a lot of mistakes in my life, I think. Everything wrong pace I made had took me to another place that was good, new and rewarding. Last year, I thought I had took myself to the wrong place going to college, but I met fabulous people that made me believe that I could make friends thanks to me, and only me, being just me, not someone's friend. Just me, myself. The silly me, the funny me, the me that was appreciated by others. It wasn't something wrong.
Maybe now, I can make mistakes, do crazy stuffs, prohibited stuffs, dangerous stuff. What can I lose? Nothing. Everything is to win.
Tonight, if I hadn't wrote this entry and if I was a little more brave, I would have took my phone and tape a message that would have sent me to troubles. I'm not outta this yet. I still have my phone nearly here. I still have some contacts that can make me spent time thinking about imaginary stuffs, being high, really high. But that would be against my values, against what my Dad wanted me to be.
Once, he said he would prefer to see me pregnant now than on drugs. I won't get pregnant, and so I won't do anything stupid to earn it easy.
The hour has something to do with what I'm writing, the gramatical and syntactical mistakes I'm making. I'm sorry. It's now 2:36 AM. I will try to sleep. Tomorrow... well, who knows, maybe the sky will fall, maybe I'll receive a call saying that I'm the lucky girl who won who knows which travel from who knows which game I haven't played. Maybe just tomorrow will be another normal day. I prefer normal days than disastrous days... If I could only choose, tomorrow, when I'll wake up, it would be 8 AM, early for someone who went to bed at almost 3, but I will wake up to go to set. Drive my car from a not glamourous inner city of L.A to a cool studio in Hollywood and start what will become the brand new hit serie, staring Nano and I.
I don't know what tomorrow will bring. Maybe I could chose bringing myself what I really want?!
Good night. Sorry for the messy post.
It's 2:43AM. I'm going to sleep. I hope.
Mucho amor
