I'm not sure why, because things seem to be looking up. New prospects of freedom and independence, and even positive vibes on the job front. I'm getting not only support from Minnie about Tori, but from other friends too. I've talked out problems with my living arrangements with Absynthe, and she agrees that it would be good for me to go and get my own place. But only once I'm settled in a job, and have some money behind me. Tori... well... Tori is wonderful. She makes me happy, and I care more for her every day. Things are looking up in all departments&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This all leads me to wonder why I've started struggling so much. Is it me being self destructive, and trying to sabotage my own life? Sometimes I wonder if I somehow feel I don't deserve any success.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I honestly don't understand myself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I wish someone could help me. But I know I'm the only one who can do that.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm trying to be positive, but finding it harder all the time. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This has to stop.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6772995887498567862-1976205402294471403?l=kitaniasbower.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kitaniasbower.blogspot.com/feeds/1976205402294471403/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6772995887498567862&amp;postID=1976205402294471403' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6772995887498567862/posts/default/1976205402294471403'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6772995887498567862/posts/default/1976205402294471403'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kitaniasbower.blogspot.com/2011/06/slip.html' title='Slip...'/><author><name>Kitania</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15328201919354941514</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J01JYM5bXME/TcPEoncCmrI/AAAAAAAAACQ/mP4JUh0jqv4/s220/angel_tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772995887498567862.post-8433080154483279977</id><published>2011-05-16T16:20:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-05-16T16:55:43.341+01:00</updated><title type='text'></title><content type='html'>Today my mind is scattered.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There are so many thoughts running through my head that I can't seem to get straight. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I wonder what I should do about where I'm living. I know what would be sensible, but is it really the right thing to do, for my happiness' sake?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My feelings for Tori are real, but the problems I'm having reconciling our differences and the issues others are having with us. She is very mixed up, and is struggling with thoughts that will seriously harm her. It's heartbreaking and I wish there was something I could do to help her. Every day, I try to remind her how much she means to me. Her family love her (in their way) and she is so strong and so brave. She is beautiful, intelligent and so kind, but she can't see it. I'm terrified of losing her, but I'm at a loss.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is uppermost in my mind, and I have no answers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Everything else pales in comparison.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6772995887498567862-8433080154483279977?l=kitaniasbower.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kitaniasbower.blogspot.com/feeds/8433080154483279977/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6772995887498567862&amp;postID=8433080154483279977' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6772995887498567862/posts/default/8433080154483279977'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6772995887498567862/posts/default/8433080154483279977'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kitaniasbower.blogspot.com/2011/05/today-my-mind-is-scattered.html' title=''/><author><name>Kitania</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15328201919354941514</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J01JYM5bXME/TcPEoncCmrI/AAAAAAAAACQ/mP4JUh0jqv4/s220/angel_tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772995887498567862.post-1839837362334429795</id><published>2011-05-15T20:23:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-05-15T20:24:09.974+01:00</updated><title type='text'>A Constant Fight</title><content type='html'>Why does nothing good ever come easy?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6772995887498567862-1839837362334429795?l=kitaniasbower.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kitaniasbower.blogspot.com/feeds/1839837362334429795/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6772995887498567862&amp;postID=1839837362334429795' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6772995887498567862/posts/default/1839837362334429795'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6772995887498567862/posts/default/1839837362334429795'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kitaniasbower.blogspot.com/2011/05/constant-fight.html' title='A Constant Fight'/><author><name>Kitania</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15328201919354941514</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J01JYM5bXME/TcPEoncCmrI/AAAAAAAAACQ/mP4JUh0jqv4/s220/angel_tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772995887498567862.post-8319899951958470483</id><published>2011-05-05T00:41:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2011-05-05T00:54:57.857+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Tori....</title><content type='html'>&lt;div&gt;Struggling with little support for my choices.

She's understanding and gentle. We literally finish each others sentences. I could easily love her. She's beautiful, brave and so strong. She makes me feel loved, and like I'm not as damaged as I think. Willing to let me be myself, and deal with all the confusion, paranoia and sadness that comes with that. She's funny, intelligent, sharp witted and balanced. So perfect for me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But socially, unacceptable. For multiple reasons.

But I think she's going to be so good for me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Watch this space.x&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6772995887498567862-4784393429614085946?l=kitaniasbower.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kitaniasbower.blogspot.com/feeds/4784393429614085946/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6772995887498567862&amp;postID=4784393429614085946' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6772995887498567862/posts/default/4784393429614085946'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6772995887498567862/posts/default/4784393429614085946'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kitaniasbower.blogspot.com/2011/04/green-shoots.html' title='Green Shoots'/><author><name>Kitania</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15328201919354941514</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J01JYM5bXME/TcPEoncCmrI/AAAAAAAAACQ/mP4JUh0jqv4/s220/angel_tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772995887498567862.post-441354284597912119</id><published>2011-04-24T03:41:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2011-04-24T03:56:20.476+01:00</updated><title type='text'>New Things...</title><content type='html'>So... here are a few new things that I think are going to be positive.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. A new friend. Someone I've known for a little while, but until now, we've not properly got to know each other. This one i think will be a friend for life. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. Part time job. Ok, not much in the way of hours or money, but it'll help, and get me out of the house until i can manage to find a full time or a second part time job. not sure which I'd prefer yet, but the people at the new little job are great, and really understanding.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. An old friend. Re-surfaced. Used to get along so well, and we seem to be patching up old wounds. Would be great to forge new bonds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I think that's about it. but those things have made me realise that there is light, and life changes constantly. who knows what's around the corner. The thing is, if I give up now, I'll never know. It's going to be a hard journey. and maybe it will get even harder, but right now, I'm willing to give life the benefit of the doubt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6772995887498567862-441354284597912119?l=kitaniasbower.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://kitaniasbower.blogspot.com/feeds/441354284597912119/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6772995887498567862&amp;postID=441354284597912119' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6772995887498567862/posts/default/441354284597912119'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6772995887498567862/posts/default/441354284597912119'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://kitaniasbower.blogspot.com/2011/04/new-things.html' title='New Things...'/><author><name>Kitania</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15328201919354941514</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='26' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-J01JYM5bXME/TcPEoncCmrI/AAAAAAAAACQ/mP4JUh0jqv4/s220/angel_tears.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6772995887498567862.post-420994867014905185</id><published>2011-04-21T00:45:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2011-04-21T00:53:19.525+01:00</updated><title type='text'>So much for the up mood.</title><content type='html'>Well, even having Dapper and Darkstar here, and having a lovely meal with Absynthe, my mood dropped considerably tonight.&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I can't stop thinking about how disappointed in myself I am. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I'm very lonely.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I need intimacy and love to survive.

A recently discovered kindred spirit. A box appears.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'hey,'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A tiny word, but all the company I crave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Hi Piskie. I don't suppose I could see you sometime soon?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'I can imagine so!' she says, lighthearted, but then recognises the solemn tone in my text. 'You alright Babe?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'No' i respond 'Not really. I could do with a friend'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'Whats wrong hunny?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I sigh at reading the last question I want to answer, but respond reluctantly. 'Everything. Absolutely everything. I feel like my world is collapsing and I can't hold the weight'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A sad face icon is all I can see of Piskies sympathy.

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I've been meaning to do this for quite some time, but an old friend has finally given me the motivation i needed. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;I have a fraction of her talent, and highly doubt that anyone will read this, but hey, it's worth a try.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;So...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: georgia;font-size:85%;"
