    Fear of Falling

    Friday, April 15, 2011
    I am starting to feel a little better about this week, seeming as I have all my presentations done, finished two exams today and at the beginning of the week, I felt like I was feeling normal again, even with the rush of exams and project due dates looming.

    Then Adam and I took a drive, on this blistery freezing day, and he drove past the hospital, made a vague comment...and it all fell down at my feet again.

    He didn't mean it, I mean, I'm the one that is always telling him not to tip toe around me and I believe this was what he was doing when he said what he said today.

    I hadn't let it past through my mind since about Saturday of last week. I twisted my ankle again, and while sitting on the stoop holding my breath, I really wanted familiarity. I wanted my mom, my dad, something familiar, my family. I suppose its okay to feel that way at 24.

    But I was pre-pmsing. I am pmsing now.

    And now I sit here, pmsing, emotional and absolutely drained from the busiest week I've experienced since my friend college stint, and I worry. It seems these emotions drenched posts always come this time every month.

    Today is April 15th. I hope everything is okay.

    You can never deny that I think of you even when I try hard not to. I welcomed her today. Whether or not she decided to come or not. Whether or not you wanted me to.

    And I secretly stalked you even when you blocked me. Only because I worried.

    I think I realised tonight that I gripe over this once a week, and I still wonder to myself if I made a mistake putting myself first...and even though my mind is telling me I need to take care of myself and I need to keep myself as number one, my heart is telling me I fucked up big time.

    For once I wish both were on the same page.

    Is this what it feels like to be in an sick relationship where he beats the shit out of you but you still love him like nothing else matters? I always thought myself to be a healthy relationship person, but I'm starting to see a lot of unhealthy things I do to myself.

    For a while I was okay, but now I worry about you constantly.

    WHY do I concern myself when I need not be concerned? It's not my business says rational Kala, but my heart breaking sends a message that I am so off course.

    Truth is you probably haven't thought about this once. Yet I'm the one griping.

    I need a hobby. Maybe I should take up drinking.

    This life I lead really is a rollercoaster

    Sunday, October 10, 2010
    One minute, our house plans are dashed. Then their on, off, on, off. Car accident, Jasper's sickness, car repairs, you name it, it happens to us ten fold at the same time. I spent a few nights this week weepy and sad, knowing that we couldn't afford to move to Oakville for me to start school in January because of the above mentioned incidents. They had drained all our savings, no first and last rents money, no honeymoon, no nothing.

    We've cancelled our honeymoon, knowing full well we cannot afford to go on it anymore. These things, I believe they call life experiences, are happening to us all at the same time. Now sitting with our finances in ruins, $1000 car deductible, $1400 cat emergency vet hospitalization, and $1100 in car repairs/winter tires, we're broke. Hell, who am I kidding, the car repairs haven't even been paid for yet, its the other $2400 bucks that left us in ruins, although the car repairs would have dented our savings, our honeymoon could have at least happened.

    So I left myself at the beginning of the week, sad and depressed. No longer was I going back to school, moving to Oakville or going on my honeymoon to Florida with my husband. I wasn't sure what I should be thankful for today. I wasn't completely sure. Thankful I was still alive and married to my hubby? As it stands, its all I've got.

    But today things changed. We wanted to speak with Adams parents, let them know whats up, and what, uh, wasn't up anymore...and his mom surprised us.  She suggested they buy us a condo, and we still move to Oakville, and I still go back to school... it was quite a surprising moment, not going to lie, and of course we cancelled our honeymoon through her, as she was the one that set it up through our timeshare company as it was.

    So again, I sit in the roller car, making my way up to the peak of this coaster, well, what I think is the peak, waiting for my stomach to gush and lodge between my lungs and breastplate, knowing I shouldn't get overexcited about this, as it will most likely come tumbling down, c'est la vie n'est pas? Well regardless of that, I can't help but feel jovial and certain that this CAN work now. It can. I'm hopeful, and kind of bloated.

    Ready Emotions?....GO!

    Friday, August 27, 2010
    I figured something was messed up when I didn't bawl my godgiven eyes out at our wedding, should have known with my hormones up in a tizzy and all that it'd come to a boiling point...aka, yesterday.

    We got our car back yesterday.  It's been a month since I crashed the damn thing on the 401.  Broke my heart to see it the week before I left, grabbed my GPS, and found my baby without doors or anything. I thought I was going to puke.

    So driving after the accident wasn't too bad, I took to the Nissan sentra like it was my own. But then I drove my car yesterday and after being cut off three times and having to slam my breaks, and squeal tires once, I got home and nearly lost it. I don't think I've cried that hard in a long time.

    I just don't want to fuck our situation up any more than I already did with the first accident. I don't want another one. Ever.

    And now I get the news that Adam's brother doesnt want to move out with us, leaving us high and dry without someone to live with in Oakville, meaning we have to bank at least 1200 bucks a month for an apartment, when we can barely afford what we're doing now in Guelph alone! Im starting to think going back to school is a lot more of a hassel than I thought it was in the beginning. I know I can't drive to Oakville everyday, not after the accident....not even before then.

    Of course Bruce did ask if without him moving out with us would it make it impossible for us to move, I said no. I lied. I didn't want to make him feel obligated for our sake. He'd do just that too, thats just the kind of guy he is.

    Apparently living with us would be awkward. I can't say I get that feeling from him as I am completely comfortable with him....but whatever..he thinks it'd be awkward, I guess he would be awkward.... I figured he would be happy to have his dinner ready for him when he came home.

    But alas, nothing ever works the way its suppose to with Adam and I. We always struggle. Its just in our books.

    10 things I want to do before I die

    Sunday, October 25, 2009
    With everyone and their cousin getting the H1N1 (get better Ange and Jacob!), and that poor 13 year old boy in Toronto dying from H1N1 when he was in perfect health, its got me thinking of what I would want to do if I knew when I was going to die.

    10 things I want to do Before I die.

    1. Do a missionary trip.  I'd love to travel somewhere like Africa or Peru and help the residents of the place I'm visiting some how.  Perhaps with Doctors without boarders (although I'm not a doctor...but I do fluff a mean pillow!) or Amnesty International. This ties in with my need to help other's, and although I know I'm going to die, although I don't know when, I do plan to do a trip somewhere to help someone out.

    2. View the Mona Lisa in the Louvre. I love art, and I love museums.  Of all the grand museums in the world, the Louvre makes me giddy and jealous of anyone who's every stepped foot inside its archways. One day I will too. But until then, I will put it on my bucket list, and hope to god I see Mona Lisa smile before I hit the dirt.

    3. Learn to communicate fluently in oral and written  French.
    I loved French as a young child and found myself shy away from in early in highschool as I hated my french teacher.  I love the language, and even now I sometimes get the urge to pick up a french dictionary and see how much I still remember from all those years of learning it.  I think I would like to enroll my children in french immersion so at least they can get to experience the other cultural and language experience in Canada.

    4. Raise a family
    As silly as you may think this sounds, as I could choose to do anything in the world on my bucket list;  I want to leave a legacy.  I know theres something different within myself and I would like to perhaps procreate and maybe pass on my values and beliefs to my future children.  I want to leave a mark on this place, and what better mark to make than to pass on your genes! Go genetics!

    5. Witness the cure for Cancer
    I would love to finally know that the number one killer disease in all of the world could be fought and won and all that progress was made by simple human beings with the knowledge to learn and overcome.  This should be number one on my list. It wouldn't bring the people that have already past from cancer back, but it would make me feel better knowing my love ones will have a way to survive without me. :( Not saying I could cure cancer, its just a comfort thing.

    6. Perform on Broadway
    I'd love to belt out a sunny Annie tune or rock out on broadway. Just once.  I don't have the greatest voice, but I sure would love to focus my acting chops on some sort of ballsy out-there kind of broadway production. Maybe something with Matthew Broderick.... hint hint. lol

    7. Win the Lottery ( a big one, like 88mil)
    If I won the lottery, so many of the people I love and cherish would be set for life.  You better believe if I love you, you wouldn't be worrying about your shitty car, or your inability to pay bills, pay for school, food etc. I'd be all over that like white on rice.  And don't think I wouldn't leave my favourite LGBT charities out and my parents wouldnt have to work another day in their lives I can garentee that.

    8. Witness the disolve of the American Oil War
    If we could only see past the dollar signs and the crappy footprints the Bush administration left behind, we might be in a better place, economically, mentally, and canadian-ally....

    9. Witness the disolve of global warming!
    This goes along with my wish to have a family legacy.  I can't have a legacy if my world decides its going to burn up and die now can I?

    10. Start my own political party and run Canada
    You better believe I'd be equal rights, equal pay for women, liberal acts and predjudices aside, I'd kick some ass. Better bet your ass smoking tobacco would be illegal, cause if the green ain't legal, neither is tobacco in my imaginary Canadaland.


    So thats all I could think of.  No I dont want the typical sky diving, or whatever. I basically just want to know when I die....I can just die, and that I don't have to worry about those I leave behind.  I'm not even sure if I can worry about those I leave behind in the afterlife, but we can think about it in the sense that I think perhaps I could remember and feel for my legacy and past life.....in the afterlife lol.

    I know these are highly untainable in my lifetime, so maybe I should procreate, so some part of me can witness the great feats man has to come.


    in memory of uncle Pearce Young. May you rest in peace, we will love and miss you forever.
