I'm giving up my laptop tomorrow so this is the last attempt. I'm not going to attempt to write any more replies. Fair enough that you are not my friends. I falsely felt like a martyr and acted on it in an incorrect way. I accused you of things I should have actually have spoken to you about first, to all of you and not just Leeona ages ago. Is there anything I can really say to make you change your minds?
At the time, I was angry, sick and frustrated. I acted rashly, because I thought I was right. I felt like ye were all together in Dublin and had forgotten about me. I felt alone and I was panicking. And I lashed out, because I thought I had the upper hand and you'd see the error of your ways. I vomited out all this harsh stuff and promptly forgot about it. It cleared it out of me and I went on with things.
My first reaction on getting your replies was to attack. Katherine "I don't know if you remember the times I've asked whether you're home, in Dublin etc. and you were in Fionn's, so we didn't hang out." No, I do not remember these times, I'm sorry, but no. And if you had asked over the last 6 months, I would have jumped at it. But it could be just me being oblivious. I'm good at that at the moment. Leeona, I was fully ready to hit you for "made up problems", "childish behaviour" and "genuine personal insult" - I was so so angry. I wrote three replies full of venom and sarcasm, was fully ready to never speak to you again, because how could you speak to me that way. How could you say that to me. I could go on longer. I won't. This will only make it worse for me.
Ok.
Katherine, yes you are right. I should have told you. I should not have just attacked, I should especially not have done so without talking to you. Most of what I felt angry about was that this was like the third time in a row I had tried to ask you to something at mine, that you hadn't come, and you hadn't even given me a reason. And Shane and Jeff were doing the same thing to me too.
Yes I should have told you I was having issues not just expected you to know. But it is very hard to do when your text messages saying hello are being ignored, there's a big leap to going "Kat, I'm sorry, I have a problem, I need help". There was very little two way conversation going on. I didn't realise how much college was taking up of your time, but I know practically nothing of your life at the moment.
Leeona. Ok, no I am still angry. Not furious, but angry. So I'm not allowed to say "I don't know"? I'm sorry Leeona, but that has to be the most grown up thing I've ever said. At the moment at very least. My made up problems. That's what hurts most, because I thought you understood. I'm not dealing? Everyday, I am dealing. I'm dealing by admiting that I don't know. I could agree with everything you just said, say "I know, I'm sorry" and roll over, and then go back to doing everything I said I wouldn't. But I'm not. Yes I cried while I was writing this, but then I took a deep breathe and continued on. I don't know what would happen if I was saying this in person, but I would hope that I could do better.
I attacked without reason to you. But there was reason to me. Yes i am doing my Leaving Cert, but I'm not you. What do you want me to say? Fuck it, I said I wouldn't spend this attacking you. Thank you for admitting you've not forgiven me for April. You made very valid points, you all do deal with this on a "tough love" basis, you deal with things by yourselves. I do do things "childish"ly, like the current situation. I shall work at that.
But I am not the "cool collected Karen" of before anymore. I'm also doing my best to avoid being the Karen who was going out of her mind of last April. I don't know who I am currently but I am working on that. "all the little problems that meld together" is part of my problem. And the only way it doesn't all go to shit, is by talking about it. And that is why Fionn helps. I was sick when I wrote this, and most of it was composed in my head at 4 in the morning. I didn't talk it through with anyone. I should have. But I have spoken to you previously, before Christmas on this same topic, and it did feel like you just brushed me off. But anyway.
Michelle, I fucked up. Big time. I knew you felt like shit, but I really felt this was Stephen all over again. I over thought and blamed you. But yes, my xanga is only ever me, just me through the internet. And that's probably the real reason I closed it, is because it showed too much of me. How horrible I really am.
I know really, none of you have forgiven me for last April. This is really the last nail in my coffin. There never really would be any real redeeming speech i could come out with after all this. Thank you for being there. I'm not going to set up another xanga. That gallant gesture didn't work. But I'm not going to delete this.
It is my fault this happened. I accept that. I accept that it will never be the same no matter what I say, or what I do. What ever comes next is up to you.
