I write this entry from my bed. For the last few days I've been stuck at home, under the covers, with the flu.
Not only am I sneezing like a gusty wind, but I haven't had the energy to drag myself out of bed for quite some time. As a result, I must have amassed a scent of odour toilet (I imagine, although my sense of smell has left me), and my hair has woven itself into a knot. Just one giant knot!
At this rate, I will never get a comb through it. My locks will become dreadlocks (oh how I do dread that), and I will pretend that this was something I had fully intended and planned for!!
For the first few days, I had no one but my cat as company. My hours were spent watching day-time-television...and riddled with self-pity.
I have to admit, I began to run out of groceries slowly but surely, until eventually I was a quivering wreck. A starving, quivering wreck. I must say, that look becomes no one!
But after these days of feeling the loneliest I have ever felt in my life - and believing myself to be truly unloveable and alone, my family swooped in and saved me from my impending depression.
My mom took me home, my dad fed me, and now I'm warmly wrapped up in the bed of my 'youth'.
So when everything is looking down - you're feeling terrible, lonely, and you think that no one gives a damn about you - just wait a while. Someone out there does care, and they will show you just how much. (They just do it in their own time, and we have to patiently wait!)
So Say Thanks Anyway for the people out there who love you. Because when you hit rock-bottom, they're the ones who will pull you back up and dust you off!
