Thirsty

For some reason I was really thirsty tonight. I blamed it on the hamburgers we made for dinner.
I kept thinking another glass of water would fix it.
Still thirsty.

It wasn't until tonight, a little after midnight I realized why I'd needed it.
I needed it to feed the tears, sweat, and spit of another terrible cry.

Mike and I were talking about having kids.
Logistical stuff, planning.

We talked about how some things you just have to pick a date and go from there, like our wedding.

"Remember how I kept wanting to change the wedding date to November? It's a good thing we didn't because at least my dad was there..."

Then I lost it.

To describe the overwhelming sick sad hateful fucking feelings that ensued.

I needed that water tonight.

  1. Take it from me. You can't work or starve your way thru the grief. It prolongs it and makes it about you.

    Stay writing, stay open to Mike, and stay crying.

    i love you.

  2. What she said. I couldn't put it any better. My last terrible cry happened in a movie theatre--and the one before that was at least in the privacy of my home--but I seriously wondered why my chest just didn't crack open--it felt like it would've been easier.

    All I can tell you is that it gets better. Or at least, less worse. Hang in there.
