It was close, but I did it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll just take half doses from now on, and stretch them out as far as I can.  I will get off, but not all at once.  I am only human.<\/p>\n<p>Currently listening to Cady&#8217;s N&#8217; Sync cover.  Good stuff.  I&#8217;ll still do this for her, but for me, too. Because I deserve it.<\/p>\n<p>Because I deserve a life, too.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve made so many mistakes in my time here.  I have so many regrets and have so much disappointment that at times it doesn&#8217;t seem fair, like I&#8217;ve been cursed, or something.  I wish so much I could go back and change things.  Because I would change everything, I think.<\/p>\n<p>I wish I had done things differently, lived differently&#8230; almost, been a different person&#8230; I think.  Maybe then, everything would have been better.<\/p>\n<p>It just hurts so much, even now.  The pain is super intense.  Inhuman.  It&#8217;s too much to handle, I think for anyone.  Even with my magic protecting me, my defenses are nothing against it.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m in trouble.  It&#8217;s bad, so very very bad.  It&#8217;s unfair is what it is.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t I get a second chance?  We&#8217;re all people.  We all make mistakes.  Can&#8217;t get a do-over?  I mean at least with some of these things?<\/p>\n<p>I mean, please?  I just need a second chance is all.  I chance to reset, to do some things over again.  I mean, not everything. Just a few things.  Enough to let me live a normal life again.  That&#8217;s all I ask for, all I need.<\/p>\n<p>But I won&#8217;t get it.  I&#8217;m only human.  This life is all you get.  No do-overs, no matter how you need them.  No matter how much you deserve them.<\/p>\n<p>I wish it was different.  It&#8217;s just so unfair.<\/p>\n<p>I mean&#8230; it&#8217;s just not <em>fair<\/em>, damn it!  Nobody should have to do through this much pain in one life!  It&#8217;s NOT FAIR!<\/p>\n<p>At least, I think it isn&#8217;t.  I think.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know.  Maybe I&#8217;m nothing special after all.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know.  I suppose I&#8217;ll spend the weekend trying to&#8230; fix myself.  To create a front, to show  the  world I&#8217;m not hopeless.  It might be a tough, awful process. <\/p>\n<p>I want to run outside and just scream.  To plead, beg for someone to help me.  For a hero to show me the way.  I don&#8217;t know, maybe that would work.  But we don&#8217;t do those things, do we?  We don&#8217;t take those chances.  We suffer, in silence.  We bear the cross on our backs, and hope to fix things ourselves, somehow, even when the path isn&#8217;t&#8230; obvious.  Or even there.<\/p>\n<p>Maybe that isn&#8217;t right, but it&#8217;s what we do.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m still contemplating suicide.  It might be the best option, should I not be able to break the addiction.  I mean, I would miss out on Christmas, and all the rest of them after.  All that cool stuff I&#8217;m getting&#8230; all of it, would be gone.<\/p>\n<p>And everything else, too.  The people I know, the experiences I&#8217;ve had, Cady&#8230; and, everything else, would be gone, in a flash.<\/p>\n<p>Seems so&#8230; tragic.  Doesn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>I&#8230; don&#8217;t know.  There must be a way out of this.  There MUST be.  It will just take time, and&#8230; help.  Like, I can&#8217;t do this one, myself.  I just can&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8230; need to stop typing.  And get ready for bed, as scary as that sounds to me, now.  If this half dose doesn&#8217;t take, if it doesn&#8217;t work&#8230; I&#8217;m in trouble.  Like, serious, major trouble.<\/p>\n<p>And I&#8217;ll get help, then.  I&#8217;ll need it.<\/p>\n<p>Ok, good night then.<\/p>\n<p>Wish me luck, world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Horrible, so horrible.
