Devious Journal Entry

Fri Sep 4, 2009, 2:34 AM
  • Mood: Miserable
Well, today I found out what a complete waste of a human being I am. After being yelled at for about 2 hours on and off, I've been made to see how completely worthless I have been these last 6-8 years. Doesn't matter who yelled at me, point is, I suck...at everything.

I can't draw anymore. (like I could draw before)
I can't write anymore. (like I could write before)
My web design is mediocre and too simple for this day and age.

I'm worthless at everything I do.

And I'm pretty sure I know what killed my desire to do those things anymore, crappily as I did them. Being told over and over and over again that I lack creativity.

There's a certain someone that I somehow feel I must impress with SOMETHING because they are so "creative" themselves. But every time I come up with an idea that I think will FINALLY impress them or at least make them say "Nice, I like that.", they tell me "why didn't you say it like this?" or "why don't you do it like that instead?" NOTHING I say or do is good enough. And over time, that has eaten away at me. Until I don't think there's a single good idea left in me. Like I had any in the first place. I just keep kidding myself.

So I ended up laying in bed for hours on end tonight, staring at the ceiling and reminding myself over and over how much of a waste I really am. And being told that I'm like a 6 year-old and that my husband should "leave that bitch" just keeps spinning around in my empty head.

I completely hate myself.

What decent person can't cook, dislikes to clean house, dislikes children even though she has one, and sits around playing games or watching TV or working on her fan sites or other misc fandom stuff? Well, that is me.

I am a selfish bitch.

Hey, case in point, this entire journal entry! I've just been rambling about me me ME. Selfish, lazy bitch. But what are journals for right? I guess I brought my shit here so I'd have at least one little outlet so I wouldn't want to kill myself or something.

I don't normally do this, people. I don't normally bring my BS here to the "public eye" and rant and rave and be all emo all over the place because my life sucks and everyone hates or doesn't understand me. I try to remain positive to all my friends and people who watch me. But after a while, when in the background I'm being cut down and realizing how pathetic I really am, I can't keep up the happy smile forever.

So to the 198 people that watch me, and the 10-15 people that watch my journal, and the 5-8 that actually read it, and the 2-4 people that actually give a shit enough to comment on it....I'm sorry.

I'm sorry I'm such a pathetic waste of a human being.

And the sad part is, I don't know if anything is even going to change. I don't know if I'll ever draw again. I don't know if I'll ever write again, and I don't know if I'll continue working on my fan sites or not.

Indecisive, selfish, lazy bitch. That's me.

To anyone that read this far, I apologize for being stupid and emo. But like I said...say it here or hold it in till I literally can't live with myself anymore. But you know, I probably couldn't even kill myself, I'm such a coward and pathetic. Oh well. I apologize again for being stupid and emo and showing my problems to whoever cares enough to read this.

I can't fucking sleep.

You are not a selfish bitch, you are a human in pain. And we all do the beating up of selves, though it helps nothing (we should really stop that) You wrote this here because some part of you knew there were sympathetic ears here and there are. We're here to give you the virtual ear/ shoulder/ other necessary body part.

Try to sleep honey, being tired will just make the next day more difficult and this funk last longer. :hug:

You are a brilliant artist, I love when you submit so much as a sketch, and there are always going to be people who don't see that. Me? I wrote obsessively for years, filling notebook after notebook, with stories that to this day, no one has ever found worth reading. Even my own family. I did it because it was who I am... A writer. Just like you. Only you can actually draw too. And believe me, we all have those people in our lives who think we're worthless... The worst part is when they're ourselves.

The person you just described to me, (you) doesn't sound horrible, or selfish, or lazy, or anything like that. They sound like someone who likes what they like, dislikes what they dislike, and these are the things that make us individual... Never mind that most of those things you described could also describe any number of people who love or hate the same things you do.

I used a journal to rant recently myself... And I felt horrible about it later. The thing is, I needed to do it, to bare my soul to someone, even if it was no one at all, to convince myself that my feelings were valid. So I don't see any reason not to rant, once in a while. As long as it's not an everyday thing, I don't think that makes you needy or desperate for attention, or anything like that. Just needing to see your words written out, offered to the world, in hopes that they'll be treated kindly.

Get some sleep. Get some sleep, and I hope with all my heart for your dreams to be gentle, and give you at least a little while to get your thoughts straight, before facing the world again.

:hug: Rambling me, huh? Don't know if any of this made sense to anyone but me... But I hope it helped.

Don't let anyone destroy your dreams. Please.

I think I'd rather fall in a dream, than fly. Flying takes too much work. Always trying to fight gravity. Free-fall on the other hand, is amazing... And personally, I never really worry about hitting the ground. I'm surprisingly light on my feet.- me
:iconfieldofamaranths:
Look, only a few of may comment, but that's because there are only a few enough who can look at the shining light that is you without being blinded. Plato said that if you put a group of prisoners in the dark for their entire life and showed them only shadows, they would think the shadows were reality. But if you took one prisoner and took them outside to show them the sun, they would reject it at first. But, as they grew used to it, they would wonder how they ever lived with out it.

What I'm trying to say in my long, convoluted and confusing way is that you are the sun. People will take you at surface value and try to bring you down because they wish they were more like you. "People, whether in a suit or in a loincloth, are ignorant little thorns digging into each other."

And so what if you're no the best? You're better than me, and the reason why is because you love what you do so passionately. Look at what you've done and be proud that you have done more with yourself than more people have done in their entire lies. And the fact that you can bare your soul on a website to people you barely know shows that you have a larger capacity for emotion than most. That makes people like us vulnerable, but it also helps us comprehend more in a deeper way.

Honey, you've got nothing to be ashamed of. You have nothing to be down on yourself about. So what if you've got the occasional bad habit? You're a person, a human being. We are all flawed and that's the point. If we were perfect, life would be boring.

If you love your husband and you love your child and still have room for the things you love to do, kudos. Although the saying goes that if you love somemthing, set it free and if it was meant to be, it'll come back to you, you should hold on tight to what you cherish. Don't let go. Just hang in there and ride out the storm. Before you know it, you'll be shining again.

With the best of wishes to you,

Chloe

How did we get here? Well, I used to know you so well, yeah.
But how did we get here? Well, I think I know.
(I'm screaming I love you so well/My thoughts you can't decode)
:iconchibikan:
Whoever yelled at you deserves a boot in the face. You are an awesome writer and author. I read and reread your Beetlejuice fanfiction constantly. Please don't give up. You're a genius. You're not selfish or any of that. You're great.

ok. honestly. I am one of those people that watch your work and read your journals and care enough to comment.
I may not actually know you, but I do know that whoever told you that crap is just completely worthless, not you.
You have amazing talent, and I, along with many other people on and off this site, would argue on your behalf. Whoever told you that nothing you do is good or that you dont have talent is either completely stupid, or just plain out jealous because they dont have that skill.
As for your family life (like i said, i dont actually know you personally) just forget about what everyone else says.
You have a passion for art and your sites and games. Theres nothing wrong with that. Some people just like to bring others down...it makes them feel better for some stupid reason.
Youre not selfish. You just like to enjoy the things that make you happy. So does everyone else. That doesnt make you selfish. It makes you human.
Please dont give up on your art. I know this comment may not mean anything to you, but i truly hope that you wont stop doing what you love because of just one person's comments.
I hope everything gets better for you soon. :)

In the mood you seem to be in now, I don't know if you'll just try and make it out like all of us who love you and are commenting to try and cheer you up are just doing because you're emo-ing. We're doing it because we love your art, and whoever keeps telling you off about it needs to shut their trap.

First off, in my opinion, I love your sites. I love how they're set up, I love the design aspect of them, everything.

Second, I love your art. And so do 198 other people that watch you. I'm pretty sure most people on dA only watch someone when they want to see more of their art. I love the way you draw, I love the characters you draw, your style is just so different from everyone else who just tries to copy anime. And I love the fact that I can go through your gallery and sites and see how your style has evolved.

Thirdly, you shouldn't beat yourself up over something one person has said, no matter how much you prize their opinions. If they can't say anything good about your work, then you shouldn't worry about it. Though I don't kow the situation, maybe they only want you to improve. I'm sure they can't be saying this because they think you suck, they just know that there's always room for improvement and want to help you find it. Or else they're more self-centered than you claim to be.

Awwwww.... whoever yelled at you shouldn't have done so! I love your art and fanfiction, and updates... and feel happy whenever you'd comment on some silly BJ stuff I did back in the day, and was wishing I had created an Beetlejuice OC of my own so that I would have something to put on your BJ OC site, 'cause it looked so fun!

Try not to let people get you down! I've have people this past year trying to rip my confidence to shreds, and did a few times, but I'm doing my best, so I hope you do too! *hugs*
:icontowson:
:hug: Ooh, honey, you NEVER should let people make you feel that way.

I hate cooking, cleaning, and children. I left the major I was in, education, because I hate children, even though I love teaching. That's not to say I don't cook and clean still.

Your creativity is a BEAUTIFUL thing. I LOVE your Beetlejuice fics, they gave me a new love for a series I hadn't seen in years and years. YOU made me go seeking others who did their own fan art, and I'm always comparing it to YOU. They never compare. *pets*

Every has their own creativity, and things should be done for your happiness, not someone else's. You're sinking into that "mom" thing where everyone else's happiness needs to come first. Do things for YOU.

Get out there. Make a life for yourself, and get away from anyone who wants to steal your joy. Got it?

NEVER LET ANYONE STEAL YOUR JOY.
