What a strange thing. It&#8217;s dawned on me that I&#8217;m carrying so much weight inside myself. I&#8217;ve not been fully &#8216;myself&#8217; for a while again now. Maybe a few weeks but maybe longer. Others think I&#8217;m ok because they see the mask but don&#8217;t see past it. They think they do but they don&#8217;t. They don&#8217;t even realise there is a mask there for me. Sometimes even I don&#8217;t realise that it&#8217;s there. A few months of being level and kind of normal or normal for me and I thought I had healed myself. I haven&#8217;t. I&#8217;m far from that. I need a holiday. I&#8217;m not sure where to or what from. \u00a0Anyway I can&#8217;t grieve. I don&#8217;t feel I can or that I&#8217;m allowed. I have to keep my nose to the grindstone keeping the money coming in and chasing my tail. \u00a0I fear I&#8217;ll crack again. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>It&#8217;s funny really hiding from myself and from others. They should be able to see the signs but either they don&#8217;t or they ignore them or maybe they notice them but don&#8217;t say anything. I don&#8217;t know. It is what it is. I survive everything. I cope with everything. I don&#8217;t have an option of not coping. I fear that my wife has a drink problem. She doesn&#8217;t drink every. Ishtar but the nights that she does drink she will drink a bottle of wine in about 40 minutes and sometimes she drinks up to 4 nights or so a week. \u00a0It has been 5 nights a week before. It&#8217;s something else that plays on my mind. Churning away. I know it&#8217;s not healthy too. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>So here I am back writing stuff. I promised myself I&#8217;d write everyday when I started but it slipped. Maybe it&#8217;s a mirror of my mind. Its slipping as is my writing. Oh well such is life. I&#8217;ll cope by not coping until I crack I guess. Then everyone will wonder what the fuck is going on yet again. Hahahahhaha<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grief.
