today is rough and i feel incrediby raw. found myself in the bathroom stall crying, and this just is not who i am. and yet, it is me. this is not depression, but realization. the moments that hit fast and hard, the reflection of your choices and paths staring back at you. and, i realize here and now that i am not happy, that i am tremendously lonely, that i have been wearing a facade of everything is okay, thanks for not asking.when you wake up to your life knowing that things are not working anymore it is hard to take those first steps forward, especially when you can see the bridge before you collapsing. there are things in life that we settle for, that we decide are enough when deep down we know they are not anything close to enough; maybe we just decide we don't deserve any better. and we make accomodations and excuses, we get so good at it that most days we believe our own propaganda. but, it only lasts for so long. dissatisfaction, hurt and loneliness only stay silent until they are just too big to be ignored.music is my solace, my oxygen, my words, my breath, my existance. and perhaps this is not the place for all this outpouring of emotion. i have half a mind to just exit stage left, and leave it all alone, let it be. i feel very vulnerable and terribly insecure right now, and those kind of emotions are not really made to be displayed in public. my heart really hurts right now, and maybe this is just my way of saying goodbye for awhile. i'm hurting too much to give anything of substance here, or anywhere.take care everyone. thanks for everything. in many ways this small space on the internet has changed a lot of my life, and who i am.lucy.

  2. HelenMarie says Hearing the music you post is always a pleasure and in this _somewhat_-small internet space it seems that's all the substance most need. I've just gotten over a full year of dreadful insecurity about the decision's I've made in life, so far. No one can guide but your own feelings and heart. I hope you find what you need in life. That's a beautiful song.

  3. The Serenity Vortex says Sunshine is right, but at least you have had the moment of realization, from there you can move forward. In moments like those I have felt, weak and brittle, but it is from those moments you can take the first steps to get back on your path. MOG may be a public place to share such things, but it has served as a release for your emotions, and for me personally writing such things down, especially as poems, or lyrics can serve the same purpose. It's like a release and a way of trapping the emotions, a way to vent and be more free of the confusion that such times can bring. It can also help you look at things in a different light. I wish you well lucy, I'm sure there will be tons of positive MOG energy being beamed at you :)

  4. Dale says I understand what you're feeling, to a degree. It's hard to try to be so many things to so many people, to put on the happy face when you don't feel happy, because you don't want others to know what you're really feeling. It eats your soul. Know this; there is a fair number of people, here and on other Web presences, that care for you, beyond enjoying what you have to say, and care only that you put on the happy face when you feel happy. Words are failing me, but take some time to get sorted out, and if we don't hear from you in a while, it's OK, we know you're doing what you need to do, and we'll be here waiting when you get back. (sending positive vibes and e-hugs)

  5. Marigold says Dale did a good job of suming it up. I doubt that I could try to say things much better so I will not attempt it. But know this, you will be missed and I understand. DO what you gotta do to get healthy...if it means you going for a while so be it. Check on us from time to time if you need a good chuckle.

  6. wouldriotforless says I understand how you feel. I recently had life plumel me over the head with the same type of things. I decided on the drastic, so im moving to Alaska to start over. Not that you need something like this, but change is good. Only you know how to get better. (forgive my spelling, its allways been bad, the reason why I dont post) I don't know you but from one human to another, I wish you all the luck in the world!

  7. tybees says ??especially when you can see the bridge before you collapsing?? Incredibly ironic based on recent events. I'm so sorry to read that you've found yourself feeling this way. I can seem that these kinds of feelings will never go away, but before you even know it, the right person, experience, or change will occur and you will find joy again. We're all in this together :)

  9. anathema says I have been a silent listener and reader of your blog for a while, Lucy and I feel I can remain silent no longer. You have introduced me, and many others to a lot of great music with wit and intelligence. If this does not fulfill you then at least it is a starting point. Look forwards as well as backwards and begin to make the changes to your life which will bring happiness. I hope this doesn't sound trite coming from a complete stranger but I had to show that I do care and by the looks of things I am not on my own.

  10. kateherself says Oh sweetheart. I feel you on this, in a million different ways. There is not much that is scarier than stepping outside of your comfort zone, no matter how much you may need to. I hope you find some solace in your words, and your music. love, kateherself

  12. PopeyePete says Lucy: I hope you feel better very soon. I think most of us have those times when we simply feel terrible about how things are. Life can mess you up bad but if you keep your chin up things can turn great again. The worst thing is to dwell on that stuff and make yourself feel you're all alone. Look for the things that make you the happiest and stay with them and keep on rollin'. - A MOG friend, Pete
