today, just today

I felt like someone felt it. But I also felt so alone
I just... I couldn't sleep, I was convinced that someone was going to come in and rape me, even though the door was locked. And I felt like there were ghosts all around and demons and they were waiting for me to let my guard down so they could fucking bite me and rip me to shreds, but slowly, so inconcievably slowly.
So I read books, I had to hop from book to book because I was so upset and delirious and I tried to calm down and it just wouldn't work
I guess I finally fell asleep, but I woke up at 8:30 am and even though it was daytime, I felt completely terrified

so I read and read and finally mustered up the courage to eat and ate a little and then mustered up the courage to shower and I just felt so hopeless and small and I knew it was because I was little once and everything was awful but it felt like the end of the world and I thought "how can I bear being alone the rest of this week? how can I bear ANOTHER fucking week? how the fuck am I going to be able to work[....]on my own for a week? I'm never gonna get to go home," and then I thought "maybe [my husband] will send me home with the money he made this week," and then I imagined being in [our home country] without him and I felt so desolate and then I felt disgusting for being so codependent but then I thought "love isn't bad, I'm figuring it out" but then I read one of his journal entries about [....] I remembered how he used to be super retarded about his dad [....] and he's not retarded [....] anymore but he's retarded about how he was retarded, he hates talking about it because he feels like if he breaks any modicum of my trust even once he doesn't deserve me, because he was my "兄 ちゃん" and he's supposed to be more honourable than that, and I hate it because I hate how he'll just give up and decide he doesn't deserve me, it makes me sick, and then I thought I hated him for leaving me here, even though I'm the one who sent him and we need this money, to get home, and I thought .... that's a lot of text. haha
eventually I thought "I am being negative because I am hungry and about to bleed, it's okay, it's gonna be okay, just go out and eat." so I went out, and it's so beautiful today, it breaks my heart in a good way,
and I got on the bus, and was feeling much better though still very vulnerable and there was this guy I've seen before, he looks about 17 and his cell phone rang and he talked to the person in english, American english
and I got really excited but it took me 10 minutes to muster up the courage to say anything and I did and I walked him to the MRT and it felt so, so good to talk to someone in person about anything and I felt dumb and big and fat and ugly but I didn't care, and I went to 50Lan for some tea but was upset already, and I didn't know how to tell them "I want something fruity but not passionfruit." I mean, I did tell them that in chinese but they were like "uhhhh crap we don't know english" so they yelled at each other for a while, and then the nice nice boss lady came out and was like, "oh hey sweetie what's up" but in chinese and I was like "hurrr" and they laughed and I brought out my DS and looked up "lemon" (檸檬) and showed them so they made me a lemon tea and then the boss lady gave me a cheatsheet of all their teas in english. so that was nice.
and then I went to the bakery in the basement of trendy ass [mall] and bought some garlic bread, a "french egg sandwich" and a donut. and I've only eaten one tiny garlic bread but I read an email from [oxeye] and one from [kincaid] and I feel better now, but I know once I have to go back up to that awful [house] and be all alone in the dark I'll feel awful again.
and [eglantine]'s stupid phone is dead, and I know they
're probably not dead but what if [amaranth] is? and why do I care so much? why do I feel like my life would be over if he were dead? and I think "he's your husband, aren't you supposed to think things like that?" and then I think "well people who are dependent and don't love themselves super annoy me" and then I think "BUT I DON'T FEEL LOVED I NEED TO FEEL LOVED HE LOVES ME HE'S GONNA DIE" and then I scream and sob and sob and sob.

a thunderstorm is coming I think...
maybe I'll bleed when it bursts


I dreamed that there was a yellowed skeleton on my wall, and it was creeping slowly slowly towards me, and as it creeped it grew more flesh. It moved like a spider weaving its web. I watched it for many days and when it finally grew near me....somehow I stopped it. It dropped to the floor, dead. But my stepmother entered my room and fussed and said things like "oh this won't do" and hung it back up, on the door so that it was looking right at me. I watched as its dead papery flesh began to shift and grow once more.
