Where to begin?
Alot has happened. Alot is still happening.
We'll recap where we left off.
Kyli went to the nursing home in sioux falls. Her mom changed the phone number. For 2 months I had no contact with the woman I love, who I broke my mind and soul for. She told everyone she didnt want to see me. One of my attempts to go see her ended with cops being called.
I went insane, for a while. I'd always joked about being a 'bit insane'. Now I know what its really like. I truly lost my mind for a while. Became excessively violent. I hurt a few of my friends, who only tried to help. I hurt my father.
I slowly got better. I cried, alot. But I coped. I stopped blacking out. I smoked alot of pot. Still am smoking alot of pot. It helps. Got a few jobs, moved a few times. Eventually got in to see Kyli. She was doing better.
Waged world war three with her mother. Now I can see Kyli. She remembers who I am, for the most part. Unfortunately, her mother has stolen the engagement ring, and now has her seeing a counsellor, trying to talk her into leaving me.
Also unfortunately, Despite my attempts to get people to listen, they've started her on Baclofen again. The last time she was on that, was the last time she walked. Ever. It did horrible things to her. And its doing them again. She no longer even has PT or OT at the nursing home, as she's going downhill so fast again. And they wont listen. I have no power. I can do nothing.
The reason Kyli told everyone to not see me, was her mother put her in the nursing home, took away the phone, wouldnt give her any movies, music, anything. Left her in a strange place, with strangers, blind, completely helpless, and mentally fragged, and would not allow her to have anything until she agreed to never see me again.
The only saving grace to that was how far she's gone mentally. It would have destroyed the woman I fell in love with. But theres not enough of her left to even truly know whats going on now. The first time I took her out of the nursing home, I ended up taking her back, as she had a panic attack not knowing who she was, who I was, or where we were.
Im doing my best to enjoy the good times. If they can be called that. It hurts so goddamn much, seeing the shell thats left of my amazing Kyli.
I havent cheated on her, though temptation abounds. And thats putting it mildly. Its become damn near torture. My best friend I've made since moving up here is a beautiful redhead, who keeps giving me some pretty open signs. But I dont make a single move. Its not just her, its everywhere. Winks, and flirts and laughs, that once upon a time, would have had me chasing my own tail in happiness. Now its just its own form of pain. And the hungers and cravings, and loneliness are just another thing I cope with.
As I mentioned, pot helps.
I put a smile on my face, every day. Its completely fake, but nothing ever gets done by moping. So I press on. Working 4 jobs and teaching guitar to kids on the side. Also doing a bit of web design here and there.
Went fishing out in Lake Michigan this month. Couldnt really afford to. But I couldnt mentally afford not to. Had some fun. Caught some Salmon and Lake Trout. Good eating. Been barbecue'in most of it on the grill.
Still getting better at guitar.
Going to be moving in with my cousin who just moved down here next month.
My roomates broke my good computer, so I dont get the MMO love anymore, sadly. I really only miss EVE. Game wuz sex. I intend to keep loggin' in on a shitty comp and keeping skills training, for when I can get another computer up and running.
I keep feeling like with all this work, I should be getting ahead, somewhere, somehow, in some goddamn aspect of my life, but im not. Somehow Im in even worse debt, my car is truly on its last leg, and my phone broke a few days ago which is just more icing on the cake. Keep having to borrow money to make rent, etc. I dont sleep much at all anymore. Haunted by too many ghosts of my own failures, and the bittersweet memories of what I had, even for a short time. Which only emphasizes how far things have gone on the other end of the spectrum. But anyways. Forgive my rambling and emoness.
Its life. Cope or quit. Talk with you all later.
