Sorry about the capitals in the title,I just thought I had to stress how big a down I'm having right now.
I seem to have got myself into a bit of a difficult situation at the moment. I requested a deadline for university work due in last Wednesday, which was agreed to be extended to tomorrow. I was planning on doing this over the weekend, but got back from uni on Friday to find messages from people putting blame on me for Grace's death. I spent the entire weekend naming and shaming these people, with a video I made about it on facebook now going up for 50,000 views, with people word-wide getting in touch with words of support and saying it's inspirational. It made me feel good to have a way of releasing the anger I got from reading comments from people blaming me, but reality has now hit when I've tried sitting down to do some work.
Things have been very difficult today, and I have no interest and seemingly no ability to actually do the work. I feel mentally and physically drained.
I told my friend this, who then asked if I want my university degree. I replied with 'I don't fucking know', but then tried explaining things a little more to her-
'I've been forced to live a life I don't want. I though I was going to have Grace there to cuddle and laugh with every day after uni, to cheer me up when I was down, or to just give me hope to get through everything. I thought Grace would be there at my graduation smiling back at me with pride...and now I'm in fucking pieces writing this. I thought I'd get a job to save up for me and Grace to move in together. I thought I'd get to wait at the front of the aisle while Grace was walking down with her dad, before putting a wedding ring on her finger and kissing her- I loved kissing Grace. I thought we'd have children, I wanted them to look like mini versions of Grace, she wanted them to be mini versions of me. I thought we'd grow old together. I thought we'd die old, together.
But now, I have none of that. I have a life I don't want and didn't chose. The things that mattered then don't any more. The things I could manage then, I can't any more. I'm fighting to find another life, but at the moment, I have no idea what I want or need.'
So yeah, things aren't great today, not at all.
Hugs to you all though- I wish they could be physical and not just in words though, I couldn't half do with a big hug!
