Jumping The Moon

It's been over six months since I last posted anything on here. It's quite unsettling to realize that I've let go of so many chances for me to utilize this blog to accomplish what I've been meaning to have, and that is self-healing. When I started to write my thoughts last August, I believed I was on the right track. I wanted to attack what was most unnerving in my life at that time. I allowed myself to think that my love relationship with Matt was the most important thing to focus on. I dissected every little emotion I was going through. Most of these emotions leaned towards the negative side. I wasn't aware of the ramifications of that specific action. Analyzing my feelings in conjunction with every event that happened to us from the time we became an official couple led to a disease I'm desperately looking to cure these days. I understand that I'm not healed from anything that occurred before Matt. I admit that my current situation with Matt is a completely separate issue from all those things that I went through in past with other people. I know I created a new problem when I tried to use Matt as an excuse to forget old wounds. Now, I'm faced with tremendous pains. Some are from before him, and the rest is from my time with him. I do love Matt, and I want to make it work for us. But, it's crucial that I find remedy for the pains brought about by my bad decisions from many years ago prior to really giving this partnership a go. While working on that, I also have to start bringing back certain aspects of my life that I lost in the past year. Finding a job that I love doing and can take me to the financial stability I'm craving for tops the list of things I ought to look for. My enthusiasm for social work is another. Order has been a central theme in my life since I was a kid, and I know I lost that too. I feel like I can't achieve any of it because of the overwhelming intensity of the need, but I'm scared of the consequences of not caring. I need to care about myself. I need to restart the process of self-healing. I have to get things right. I did it before. I can do it again. The will has to be super strong this time because the rewards are simply astronomical.
