the mixed tape


RIP Mommy. Three years ago today. 1.16.61 - 11.23.06.

It’s been three years today since my mom’s suicide and I just… miss her. I wish that was a feeling I could stop but I can’t, there’s not a day that goes by that I don’t miss the hell out of her.

However, I do forgive what she did. She asked me to do that and I realized about about six months ago that I am able to do that. I don’t think she meant to hurt me. I think it’s just something she couldn’t see the way out of and that’s unfortunate and I wish I could have saved her one more time like I had been for years but sometimes, I guess, you just can’t save someone anymore. All will be okay, all has been okay. I just miss her most on this day.

I hate that I will always and forever be a sad person. Even in my happiest moments, I remember what happened and what she did because I want to tell her everything that's making me so happy. I can't. I never can. I try to believe that she knows because she's watching over me but it's hard to believe things that aren't tangible.

I hate that this is so much of who I am now. It's been so long. I said so long. The goodbyes have been said to ashes and to memories and in dreams. The forgiveness has been given. Why is this still so much of me?

I will always miss her. I will always need more than I got. I will always search for a mother figure to cling to and I never wanted to be that person. I will always have questions. I don't want to be three years removed from her. I don't want the 23rd to come.

I don't want to be strong this year and I don't want to pretend I don't care when I care so deeply. I want to cry on someone's shoulder and tell them over and over again, "I miss my mom. I miss my best friend. I miss my superhero." That's what she always was even when she was falling apart. She was my superhero. She was the person who kept me safe and who made everything better, even when she couldn't make herself better. She gave me a home when no one else ever would have and she loved me unconditionally, even though I was such a letdown, because I stayed and I loved her unconditionally.

So I will always ask, "WHY?" Why would she do this? Why would she leave me? Why would she let me find her like that when she knew no one else possibly could? I live with the image I found that night and I will for the rest of my life. And I will live with a war raging inside me between knowing it wasn't my fault and the guilt of knowing I could have just called her earlier than I did that day. Maybe things would have been different. Maybe I would still have my best friend. Hindsight is 20/20 and nothing is worse than the clarity this brings. Just come home.

I remember the days we felt alive. The music was loud and we were singing along. The best of friends then and the best of friends we’ll always be in those memories. No matter how far we’ve drifted apart and whatever the fall outs were, those memories still exist and they’re still cherished. In that way, we’re all still friends forever, because of the memories. You don’t have to live in the present every minute of every day. Memories can make you smile just as much as the present and they can make you smile when it’s impossible to do so in the present. “Don’t live in the past” is a negative statement telling you to let go of things. But we’re all alive in the past just as much as we’re alive now.

And for those who have gone to a better place and left us here without them, they’re alive in the past because they lived then. That’s the purpose of memories… to remember what we no longer have and smile.

No one uses the word “memories” for anything negative. Remember a time when you were smiling so wide your mouth hurt and a time when you were laughing so hard you cried. Tell me you didn’t smile.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


You have always longed for tenderness, love and a sensitivity of feeling into which you would like to blend. You are a very gentle warm person and responsive to 'All things bright and beautiful'. This personifies a caring person, a person who 'needs' and indeed 'needs to be needed'.

You are a leader in every sense of the word. You know where you are going and you know what you need to do in order to get there. You exercise an inherent initiative in overcoming obstacles and difficulties. You either hold, or wish to achieve, a position of authority by means of which full control can be exerted over events.

Matters are not progressing as well as you would have hoped and you are having to make concessions - but you still believe that your goals are realistic it's just that people can't seem to see your point of view. You know what you want but you'll only accept suggestions under duress.

You are holding back. You need to find friends in whom you can trust and once they have proved themselves beyond all possible doubt you will be prepared to give them your all. The existing situation is not of your liking - you have an unsatisfied need for mental stimulation with others whose standards are as high as your own. Trying to control your instincts the way you do restricts your ability to open up to others and the way you feel at this time is suggestive of 'total surrender'. This is not to your liking as you consider such thoughts as weaknesses that need to be overcome. You feel that only by control, controlling your innermost thoughts, are you able to maintain your air of superiority. You want to be admired for yourself alone and not for what you can do or for what you may have done. In essence 'you need to be needed' and at the same time 'you need to need'.

You would like to be respected and valued for yourself and this can only be achieved from within a close and harmonious relationship.

PERSONAL SIDE NOTE: Whoa... That's freaky.
