Dear Diary,

Recently I feel like some part of me is dead or dying. No matter how much i struggle to bring it back to life it does not work. It makes me question whether it was alive in the first place.


The question of 'who am I?' , has been plaguing me. Is this me? Is this what I want to do? Is this all I am capable of? Am I just this? 

No, I am not just this?


Them who am I?

What do I want?

Will this make me happy? Am I okay with just living like this?


Usually I have a feeling of wanting to do something. I want to write. I want to eat this. I want to try this. I want to see the rain. I want to learn a language.


But recently this feeling of want has disappeared. Initially I thought it was became of exam stress but even after the exams are over I can't seem to get back the feeling of wanting to do something.


I originally thought I was someone who was always on the move. I wanted to live doing everything I want. It doesn't matter if it is good or bad but I wanted to try everything. I thought that was me. That was how I wanted to live my life.


Maybe this disappearing feeling is a result of me coming to terms with life. That there is no way things could go the way I want. Maybe am just being pessimistic. Or maybe I am depressed? 


Well maybe that was never me. The me right now is the true me. The self before was just a phase. The original me has always been the same old boring me.


But contrary to what I think I want to believe that that curiousity, that desire was, no is a part of me that makes me. And I don't want to give up on it. Maybe it is just sleeping right now after I get rid of all these stress maybe it will come back.


Actually I think I must just go and see a psychologist. That will save me a lot of trouble.

I feel that. I feel it mostly after a event that was traumatic or sad! Remember if you need to someone to bitch to, feel free to bitch to me!

This kind of reminds me of Dexter. I do not know if you are familiar with the show, But during the series, Dexter often questions himself, and what makes him, 'him'.

Maybe it's because all these things you've wanted and tried only gave you an empthy feeling in the end. Maybe you've experienced that these things can't fill the gapp?
