An attempt at translation: Emotions to words

**I've been trying to write this post for the past two weeks. I can't seem to put words to my thoughts.... and I can't type emotions**

  These words are hard to type... to describe the emotions I don't quite understand. The last two months has been a horrible roller coaster I wish would stop. There have been moments//moments when the tracks seem to slow me down and I feel like I'm about to stop. The only problem is I don't want those times to be when the brakes start to work. 
   
    I am in a love/hate relationship with my life. 

I LOVE:
  • I have a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in and food to live on. 
  • My dog. 
  • My dreams.
  • My family.
I "HATE":
  • I have no space to claim as my own. 
  • Bills. 
  • That I don't love my jobs like I have loved jobs/volunteer positions in the past.
  • That I don't feel like I'm at home.
  • Four years of my life suddenly ended and I had to make and adjust to a new one.
    This person I see in the mirror... it isn't me. I finally understand what so many writers, musicians and poets have said in the past. I don't recognize myself. I am not where I thought I would be, with who I thought I would be, doing what I thought I would be. 
    I don't smile nearly as much as I used to. I feel alone... when I never am. I've lost my inner light... and I've entered a dark tunnel. 

    I found myself in tears thinking, "This is all I have, and I'm ruining it." I can't seem to shake the thought. I'm working toward my future and I'm trying to get back on track but I can't help but feel like my feet are glued to the ground. 
    

I can't find the words to complete this. I'm lost. I'm trying to find my way back. Trying to convince myself I'm not failing. The best I can do is post pictures I found on the internet that I, at one point, saved on my computer. 















Final thoughts: I miss my father. I miss Curtis. The two men in this world that have kept my feet on the ground and driven me to follow my dreams. I love them with all my heart and wait for my time to see them again. You're always on my mind, always in my heart. The good ones always go first........
