So I wrote this back on May 16 in my notebook.  Now it’s the middle of the anniversary of the week where I laid on her bed without sleeping as she slipped into a coma & died.  So heavy stuff or whatever I guess.  Still trying to come to terms with all that in certain ways, but I guess maybe it’s a little better now than what it was then.

It’s my grandmother’s birthday.  She’s been dead for six months.  I’m staying with some friends at a high rise ocean front hotel & I keep feeling the urge to jump off the balcony to my death.  It’s not that I want to kill myself so much as I want to not exist anymore.  I feel weak & useless.  As long as my grandmother was alive & I was taking care of her, there was a certain degree of validity to my life.  Now keeping myself alive just seems like a waste of resources.  I hope God gives me purpose or strikes me down soon.
