Fade

I breathe hurt What if all those rumors were true? The rumors that shipping two young people together only made it true? What if those rumors were so true that I tried so hard to make things work when I realized I was rushing? No, it didn’t go that far, My one true friend isn’t with me, not in the same school, and far away from contact. Everyone else just feels like a faux. Like robbers taking a piece of my life that has dwindled to nothing. I’m exhausted. I’ve been torn apart, spread so thin people can see right through my smile that hides the depression I hold deep within me. I’m spread so thin I’ve forgotten how to hide my emotions, and so I constantly contradict myself. I want to run from my problems. I know it isn’t the answer, but would it hurt to just put my problems on the back burner until I have to deal with them? The more I run, the more I fear the future, and the less I run, my emotions take the best of me. Which option seems to be better? That I don’t know. One that I probably will never know. “Healing is a process,” People say. Have they faced my mental breakdowns? Have they faced the hurt I went through and the embarrassment I’ve faced in my family? Have they faced my mixed emotions? The times where I’ve thought this is too much to handle but I can’t give up because I don’t have the guts to? Have they faced the fact that half of the time these mental breakdowns happen to me because I feel lonely, scared, and anxious? All at once? However, In one swift motion, everything I love gets ripped away from me. So much so that it makes me weak, So, my final question. What if I never existed? What if I meant nothing to anyone so it wouldn’t hurt this much like it does right now? Because this is truly what pain feels like. I’ve lost myself, I don’t know who I am, or why I’m here. I’ve disappointed too many people in this lifetime and failures shouldn’t define you, should they define you and you have dug yourself into a deep hole. Maybe I shouldn’t exist, so that the ones who mean a lot to me in my life don’t have to suffer from my poor decisions. If There Was A Way To Fade

It's ok to feel all that let it out, God loves you. "It is with just such miserable souls that the Lord Jesus communes in this intimate way. And the more you humble yourself, the more the Lord Jesus will unite Himself with you." "Thank You, Jesus, for the great favor of making known to me the whole abyss of my misery. I know that I am an abyss of nothingness and that, if Your holy grace did not hold me up, I would return to nothingness in a moment." ~Sister Faustina ("Divine Mercy in my Soul")

"There are moments when I mistrust myself, when I feel my own weakness and wretchedness in the most profound depths of my own being, and I have noticed that I can endure such moments only by trusting in the infinite mercy of God." "O my Lord, my soul is the most wretched of all, and yet You stoop to it with such kindness! I see clearly Your greatness and my littleness, and therefore I rejoice that You are so powerful and without limit, and so I rejoice greatly at being so little." "O soul steeped in darkness, do not despair. All is not yet lost. Come and confide in your God, who is love and mercy." ~Sister Faustina ("Divine Mercy in my Soul")
