So I thought I would give more updates on how I've been over the last couple years since I decided to take some time away from here. To put it in basic terms without getting into anything specific since this topic can be a little triggering to some I have an angel watching over me. This could be a little triggering so I don't mind if you don't read on but those who do read on, you have been warned.

 

For those who don't understand due to how crytic I'm being, I don't just have an angel, I have an angel baby. No, I don't mean stillborn/died after birth, I mean I had a miscarriage. This was while I was still with Kurt. I was on birth control (the pill) and was really good at taking it everyday same time blah blah blah. But we didn't always use condoms the most faithfully (save me the lecture I KNOW).

So this past May/June I found out I was pregnant. As just about anyone who finds out they are pregnant (not planned) I started to freak out. "How will I afford this? I'm not ready. How will I tell him, his parents,  my parents?" Etc. etc. etc. Well I didn't have to worry about that for very long, before I could even get to the doctor's office to get a confirmation urine/blood test and then my first ultrasound I started to lose the baby. 

For any women who have been through this, you know how unpleasant the whole process can be. Lots of pain physically emotionally and mentally. I dealt with it all. If I thought my menstrual cramps from when I was younger were bad, holy crap these were bad. To top this all off I had to tell Kurt a) I was pregnant b) I was losing the baby.

Here's were things got really bad. Instead of being helpful and supportive he did everything short of a happy dance finding out that he wouldn't have a baby in 9 ish months down the road. Yup you read that right, he was HAPPY that I was miscarrying. Meanwhile I'm in extreme amounts of pain physically, got all the emotional garbage from hormones and stuff, and all the mental "Why wasn't I able to carry this baby" and other beating myself up crap. Yup, I picked a real winner. 

So yeah, I guess it's for the best? Our relationship disolved really shortly after all of that into just a whole bunch of unhappy not good that eventual killed the relationship. It isn't fun knowing I could have had a child in 9 months. But I guess it was one of those mercies that we don't understand right away. Had I been able to carry the baby to term, I would have gone most of the pregnancy alone. I would have been a single mother (not that there is anything wrong with that, infact I think single mom's are the strongest people out there!!) but I would not have had the support system I wanted/needed at this time. I have to take it all in while looking at the silver lining to this otherwise really crappy dark cloud. 

I see it as a blessing, I know have my own personal angel up in heaven looking out for me. For his/her mommy. I hope never to go through that process, and that when my time comes to have a child of my own that my angel baby will be there to help me along the way. Until then I know that someone up there is looking out for me.

So everyone knows how certain things bond to memories very well, the smell of fresh baking bread reminds us of Grandma's house right before the holidays. A perfume/cologne of a parent, so on and so forth. It's the same with sounds. Sounds can also be in the form of songs. Maybe just the lyrics or the melody, sometimes it's the whole package rolled into one.

Well something hit me like a rock just now. I've had a bad few weeks, I'm not going into detail, that's for another time and place and whole other message entry, but today it just got to the point of overwhelming. I've had probably a good 10 hours of homework per day every day this week. Again another message entirely. But I've been listening to my Ipod over my stereo system since I got home from school today. For the most part I've been listening to System of a Down and various bands like that. Well I got through all the songs I have on my Ipod by them and decided what the heck I'm going to just put the entire 1000+ songs on my Ipod onto full shuffle. A few minutes ago a song came on, many people on here might know it. I've been near tears all day. Fighting back at them like my life depended on it. Somehow I managed not to bawl like a baby at school. But this song came on, it wasn't any studio version, oh no, it was the live version (I do believe from Japan.. it's a bonus song on one of the CD's but I don't remember what CD) But the band has the entire crowd singing. I just lost it. Couldn't stop crying. It's such a beautiful song. I think it sums up the life of a survivor fairly well.

What song is it that I've been talking about the whole time you ask? Well I'll tell you... "Perfect" By Simple Plan. And here's the lyrics:

Hey dad look at me
Think back and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time doing things I wanna do?
But it hurts when you disapprove all along

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't pretend that
I'm alright
And you can't change me

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care anymore

And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's alright

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
Nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard
Just to talk to you
But you don't understand

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect

'Cuz we lost it all
Nothing lasts forever
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late and
We can't go back
I'm sorry
I can't be perfect
