I have been writing in a journal, but decided to write here instead.. at least for today. I feel so unlike myself that it hurts. I feel like I need to be stretched out.. I feel like my body and soul are in kinks.
I can't believe that I am where I am in my life.. not as I expected.. not as I hoped. There is a song by Jason Aldean called, "On My Highway" and I can certainly relate to it:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On my highway the yellow lines, Have disappeared from time to time, And I've wound up on the wrong side of the road, On my highway I've gone to fast, Afraid that I might finish last, I hooked a curve too hard and lost control, Oh I never know which way it's gonna go, (Chorus) But what a feeling chasing the sun, Living my life like it's shot from a gun, Laughing a little bit more with every mile, Oh what a freedom racing the wind, Dieing to know whats around the next bend, And smiling as I watch the years roll by, I'm learning how to take it day by day on my highway, On my highway I missed some signs, And left a damn good love behind, I see her in my rear view like a ghost, On my highway I've broken down, And cried when no one else was around, And prayed that God would save my soul, Ya I've paid a lot of heavy tolls, (Chorus) Yeah Yeah, What a feeling out on the run, Drinking up the rain soaking up the sun, Laughing a little bit more with ever mile, Oh what a freedom like a sail in the wind, Not looking back not forgetting where I've been, Smiling as I watch the years roll by, I'm moving on from my mistakes, And I'm learning how to take it day by day, On my highway, Oh oh yeah.

I can say that I went too fast as far as trying to be "grown up" when Kenny and me decided to buy a house and try to have a child.. I was the pusher for both of those and I should have just sat back and relaxed more. I know this is what really changed things for me and Kenny and I know it has alot to do why we are not together today. I don't know why I worry so much.. I don't know why I clench my teeth together and it hurts my jaw so bad, I don't know why I just want to sleep at times and hope that I will wake up and everything will be o.k.
I gave my heart and soul to Kenny and I loved him so very much. I was extremely attentive and tried to be a great wife.. I don't know where I went wrong or where he went wrong as it takes both people in a relationship to make it work but we are no longer together and now I don't know what to do with myself.. I feel stuck..
Me = soon to be divorced, what?? I never wanted that.. I married Kenny and I wanted to be with him... why did he have to frustrate me and why did we have to lose our spark, our connection? Is this my path, will I meet someone one day that I was "really" suppose to be with? Was Kenny and I just suppose to meet and love each other to in turn love someone else? So odd to me...
I have lost my sparkle and shine.. I drink too much.. and I am unmotivated at times.. (but I can obviously rhyme)
I sound like someone that no one wants to be around... but only because I am going off right now.. I hold back when around friends and family. I have learned while being in TX that my family- Mom, Dad, Sister are my true friends and they love me.. honestly love me with good and bad.. I have learned that I can trust them with anything and they really do have my best interests in heart when giving advice.. even when I don't want to hear it.. I find later that they are right or that it was good advice. I am also learning who my true friends are and which friends stand the test of time.. in particular it is amazing to have a friend who has stood by me since middle school. I have let her down so many times and she still loves me... I will try so hard not to ever let her down again.
I know I will be o.k.. and I just need more time to digest this.. understand it.. and live it.. live through it. I need to get to know myself again and not be worried about what others think.. I need to be good to myself and good to others.. and I need to be faithful...
