About Me

I'm 19, Went to Shirley Boys' High School. I love swimming, performing, and watching the world go by. I spend my days at the pool lifeguarding, coaching and swimming. This is a blog to help me express how I feel, and also keep a record of how things change over the next few weeks/months/years. :)

Driving

Last night I went for a drive through town with my dad.  It was all good untill I was about 1k from home....

Coming up to the roundabout, I slowed down, looked and then began to enter the intersection.  There was a (large) vehicle to my right, and so I should've given way, but I didn't... I don't know what I was thinking.  It was as though I was subconsciously trying to kill myself, and if it wasn't for my dad being right beside me, I probably would be dead.  As soon as I got home I just layed down and cried as my dad gave me yet another lecture.

Today was horrible.  I felt sick every time I went through a roundabout on my bike on the way to school.

When I got to English last period, it all came flooding back.  What if I did get hit?  What would've happened to everyone else?  How selfish would it have been?  What made me feel so bad about myself?  I can't remember a time when I haven't been either depressed or lying to people. 

Thanks rusty for your support this arvo.  To be honest, without talking to you, I probably wouldn't have made it home in one piece.

  1. Ah! You see, I know this feeling. I was at the art gallery, the other day. And I was standing up on this bridge, about 3 storeys up, watching a kinetic sculpture do it's thing below me. And it was so odd, but I had to consciously step backwards so as to not try to throw myself off that balcony! I was standing there, leaning further and further over it, thinking about how easy it would be to just push off it. Weird. I think we have issues.
