So I have come to the decision that up until know been playing around with and come to see that it is not a game. I had forgotten the gravity of my situation and that it is life or death for me, I forgot that what goes around comes around as they say and the fact of the matter is that I am not going to fuck this new shot at life up over some bullshit.
I am going to tell you why I feel like this and what I have been through to come to this conclusion. Life is now and can only get better…
Let us talk about my “Drug Stage” as I said in the first part of my blog I had gone through.
It was not a pretty sight; in fact, I was almost killed a number of times. I have to remember that it's a miracle that I’m even still alive and I got through that, that my family accepted me once again, that I never got a disease and that I am in one peace. I took part in lots of heavy trafficking, a lot of consumption and a lot of other illegal activity. There was a lot of blood and a lot of hurt tears and pain, and I am talking only about me. I came from being the “Bosses” girl, “side dish” o how they say here in PR “mujer” which means woman. I had lots of jewelry lots of clothes and lots of dope. Now that I am writing it out I see how cliché my life back then really was when I was an active… everything.
Maybe I am actually going to start to regain sanity now. I do not want to be that wild girl always getting my way by using sex, or men, that girl with the over glossed lips and too much make up and she could not tell she had too much because she was so doped up. I do not want to be that girl, put a name to it, I was a whore I was a prostitute and I was a junky. Which is fine until you take of the mask get clean and see what life can really be. I don’t want to be that girl anymore, I want to love my baby, and active and in that world maybe I haven’t gotten to that point but I know I can I won’t want to be her mother because I am too busy getting my “fix”.
Yeah I haven’t gotten there yet, but I see my behavior. I know better than that, I look for love in sex I try to lift my spirits with alcohol and I even started mixing it with pills and pain killers thank God I got off them quick, I was looking like a zombie. I could barely get up to take care of my daughter; it was a hassle for me. I was going down slowly but surely. I was hating myself everyday more and more because I knew better, because I know what could happen to me, because I had already seen a better life.
I stopped being grateful I was forgetting where I came from, and I was forgetting the pain I had already gone through and knew so well, I was forgetting the misery. I was only focusing on the things I didn’t want to feel and substituting them for sex and alcohol and people places and things trying to fill a void that just did not ever seem to get full.
What am I going to do to change my conduct? Everything, I have to, I have to I am not going back and I am not losing all the things I have and all the things I will have.
In this time of soul search and this blog, I feel like I am finally coming to know a power greater than me a “Higher Power” a God that maybe lets things happen to you for good, I mean maybe there is a purpose for all the shit people have to go through maybe there is a lesson.
DEFFECT: selective memory, self pity and not wanting to deal with the realities of life …”as usual”
TASK: start believing in myself no matter how I feel, deal with whats real in a different manner, (prey)
