Yep. I am profoundly broken. Let me tell you, it came as a big surprise to me too. Not only am I messed up enough to need to embrace change; this revelation was made to me on Christmas day. Merry fucking Christmas indeed.
“How?” “How,” you ask, “was this important information conveyed to you?” Via email, naturally. It makes perfect sense that when a person that barely knows you wants to tell you something as important as how uncommunicative you are, how much you are suffering and how badly you were abused as a child, email is the best way to do that. Email is a very personal and sincere way to tell someone whom you have been in the presence of maybe 0.15% of the their waking hours over their lifetime that their life is not worthwhile or enjoyable – but it can be if they choose to change and deal with their ‘issues’.
After I recovered from my initial shock that my life was neither worthwhile nor productive, I delved into the topic a bit further. More shock!! More Horror! I am a slut. As if that wasn’t enough, I was traumatized by acts of my family as a child which I do not even remember. At all. Even a tiny little bit. The particular incident cited made such a major impact on my childhood mind that I have repressed it completely. Either that or it was a complete non-happening. One of the two. BUT – I was not being judged or blamed for being a total cum dumpster. (Except that my life isn’t worthwhile or productive… I guess… somehow.) Excuse me for a moment, I need to go suffer some more.
Great. I feel much worse now. That was some excellent suffering. Perhaps I can manage to keep from killing myself for a few more minutes if I try a little to forget the childhood trauma that I don’t remember.
It has also come to light that having a college degree, white collar job, a home and two kids that are reasonably normal is a rationalization. None of that matters. I am still profoundly broken. (And slutty.) But there is hope for me. The second half of my life could possibly not suck so much. A person that barely knows me can help!
Being as completely screwed up, unhappy and useless as I am I had to decline the offer of alternatives to my suffering. See, when life has no moments of joy and you are not in any way productive there just isn’t any way out of it. I am a victim (reportedly). I was so sadly abused as a child that Humpty Rama cannot be put back together again. BRB. Gotta go screw someone random.
Fantastic. Now that I have no dignity to go with my uselessness and suffering, I’ll go back to my regularly scheduled programming. To wit: raising two kickass smart alec kids, paying my own way, being sarcastic and doing crafty shit. (I’ll do my best not to enjoy any of it, since that is what broken slutty people do. I guess we’re shit out of luck on not being productive since I get paid to do a valuable job. Fuck! One more thing to despair about. I can’t even be an uncommunicative unproductive slut properly.)
There. I feel better now. Or worse. Wait. How am I supposed feel? I’ll go ask someone who doesn’t know me.
WTF! I have been looking up to you for the last 6 years or so and you are some kind of useless slut!
What a way to find out…. Umph! Now I want to throw things at the person that told you all this and dashed my dreams of having a successful, productive, educated role model! Can I throw broken bottles from all the alcohol I will now need to maintain a decent life now? You know, wished dashed dreams and all!
Yes. You may throw things but you’ll have to have a good arm as the person lives pretty far away. I’ll help you drink the ammo so I can add ‘drunken’ to my portfolio of personal description adjectives.
If the weather is nice, I like road trips… When do we start?
Not until spring. It’s cold there!!
