I’m 20. I spend every fucking day thinking about everything. I can think about many different things at the same time. That’s the life you lead when you got something like EIGHTEEN fucking brains talking all together. Maaaaarvellous. And today is a day like every others.
Anyway.
I’m 20. And I’m in my bed. Good thing, it’s more than 3am. But I know I’ll be tomorrow at 5pm, the day after at 11am, and after, at 8pm…
I’m lazy. I procrastinate. I keep hearing “Damn, you got CAPACITIES, Y U NO DO SOMETHING OF YOUR LIFE ?!” Sure, capacities. But having “capacities” doesn’t mean you’re a genius.
- EVERYTHING YOU CREATE START WITH
DESTRUCTION. -
Oh yeah. Destruction is a synonym of Life to me. Most of my role models are dead. Sid Vicious, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison, The Rev… So I just can’t see myself celebrating my 30s. I was thinking about this today, and all my brains were screaming out loud, but finally, something one of my friends said long time ago came back to my mind. “Sometimes, you have to get to an extreme to reach the other one”. And I just stopped here, in the middle of the corridor, in the silence of the house and of my head, and thought… “Did I reach the first one already or not…?”
Yes. I did. In fact, I did many times before. Those times when you just want to disappear, but some people just keep holding on you, so you don’t. Long time in wilderness. For now more than a year, I’m wandering, in every possible way. Stop.
- IF YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT TO DO, SO WHY
DOING IT ? -
My biggest issue in life. Cuz yeah, when I know what I want, what I have to do, I don’t. Why ?
This awesome story I thought about, why should I write it ? It’s already great in my head.
This crazy colorful sketch, why would I paint it ? My imagination already made it beautiful.
This meaningful song in my throat, why playing it ? In my head, a symphonic orchestra is already working on making it even more wonderful to me.
When I actually DO something, it’s only because making this project alive can only be BETTER. And I’m a perfectionist, so you can easily imagine how many projects I can show to the world. Mother’s day presents, maybe… I can’t tolerate failing when it comes to something others would see. Mistakes are my worst enemies.
- NOTHING CAN BE DONE IN LONELINESS. -
Since a very particular day, I’m alone. A lonely friend. I talk with thousand people. But can’t considered myself as the girl I was before. You can be a classmate. You can be a friend. But you can’t be my best friend.
However, you see me alone, but I’m not.
- THE ONES WE LOST CONTINUE TO AGE WITH US. -
Is it stupid to think it’s true ? Am I dumb for believing I’ll never be alone because they’re in my head for ever ? Maybe, but it’s too late. I’m not alone thanks to this. MENTAL DISORDER ! For almost a year now, I’ve learn to make my brains a strength. Not easy, as I am a slave to my swings. But tonight, I’ve decided to make a list. A tiny list of things I’ll try to achieve before I’m 21, what will happen on December 20th.
Fifteen things I HAVE to do to consider myself as me again. Not the girl I was before. The one who deserves to get in this fucking adult world without getting yelled at every day.
- Eat GREEN vegetables every day. Seriously, I love the red ones, orange, yellow, but I can’t make it with GREEN. I mean, salad is for my rabbit !
- Tidy my room at least five times until the date. I don’t see how much of clothes I have before they’re ALL laying on the floor… My mom hates me.
- Hold a pen, paintbrush, or even a paint bomb once a day. Too many days have gone without art. I should also stop wandering on Deviantart. I’ve never felt so untalented…
- Stop biting the nails of my right hand. THOSE ARE NOT GREEN VEGETABLES.
Clean, what am I saying, RE CREATE my iTunes. Never made it again since my computer crash. Eight months ago.
- Learn ONE song on the guitar. “I can play some Green Day, a bit of Nirvana, some parts of some Beatles songs…” “What about a WHOLE song ?” “Nope.” Not fucking serious.
- Calm down on Starbucks. This thing is a door to hell. Four to five a week is WAY TOO MUCH GIRL !
- Wake up every morning at 8am. 9am max. And stop wasting my nights thinking about things while cracking up on 9gag.
- Save 2500 €. For anything, in case of emergency. And by emergency I mean “Buy a car not looking like a trash bin on wheel”, “Mom & Dad hate tattoos, Mom & Dad gently ask you to GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, YOU PUNK !”, or even “Hey, I wanna see the word, let’s take a plane to Philadelphia !”.
- Go see Alice in
Wonderland LONDON, cuz this girl keeps me going on WITHOUT DOING ANYTHING. Which means God must be a ginger. Or something like this.
- Maybe send some of my homeworks. Yeah, this is a must. a) My mom is going to kill me if I don’t. b) I’ve got to prove myself it’s not because it’s art that I’m going to fail. c) Seriously, biology was easier !
- Not answer e-mails a month late. Or more. (I suck at answering in time)
- Gym everyday ? Too harsh. Let’s say… 15 minutes on Tuesday and Friday. Close enough.
- Stop neglecting myself. As I’m a girl, not a bear, nor a boy.
- Cross out NINE points of this list (ten, if this one count). There you are girl, ready to step in the adult world. With your Red Teddy Bear half dead.
Every human being have to believe in something in order to keep himself sane. Today, I choose to believe in myself. A bit.
Challenge accepted !
N.B : Every quote in caps and bold is by Mr Pablo Picasso. Crazy guy reads in my mind. The one in the picture is from Gandhi me think. Can’t remember where I got this photo from (Deviant for sure), but clever girl put her name on it, so…
