Entry 8



Why do I wallow in self pity so much?   It makes no sense to me.  Yes, bad things have happened to me over my years and I have made mistakes, but I should be happy seeing all the good in my life at this point.  I have a sister who is always there if I so need, I have friends, I have a home with someone I have come to love, I even have a mother even though I sometimes wish her to leave me be.  Some people have nothing, not even a friend.  So why am I not content?  Why do the same two nightmares haunt me every night?  Whether it is the dark empty field with people I cannot reach, or the image of the man dying before me.  Can I not have peace in my mind?  I believe that everything happens for a reason, but why does it still hurt?  Why are there more people with sorrow rather than true joy?  Even when I feel the safety of Ross's presence, I still feel pain and fear.  How weak am I?
