Just realised I sounded really fucking emo.
But I still don’t wanna move back home.
Cont…
The Line’s Dead.
Disconnection.
It’s a feeling I’ve been feeling a lot, recently.(Double feeling)
Let me first point out that disconnection is COMPLETELY different to the emotion of loneliness.
It’s more like you have no attachment to the things you see around you, not that you are alone. You know you’re not alone. But it doesn’t really matter.
Since university finished, last Thursday, I’ve had an overwhelming feeling of disconnection surround me and everything I do.
It’s like, I’m not really here. I’m not really sitting in my dressing gown typing my rambling thoughts down onto the inter-web. I’m not really here, in Cambridge. I’m not really here. Period.
It’s not a depressed feeling, please note. It’s just a feeling of NOTHINGNESS. Any kind of emotion is muffled because I just don’t feel shit.
I’m a twitter fiend. Yes. It’s true. But looking at the twitter feed, I just feel NOTHING. I don’t feel the need to reply to people’s texts/phone calls/messages. Nothing.
It’s kind of strange. I’ll stress, again, it’s not a feeling of depression. It’s just a lack of feeling, overall.
Watching films and TV programmes just keeps my mind off of the ‘nothingness’ and forces me to feel something other than zilch.
I have no idea what that says about me.
Maybe it’s only just hitting me that I really DO have to move back home.
That’s the main thing. I’m gonna be kicking and screaming to not have to go home for good. I will not be able to deal with it. At all.
I like having the option to go home (when I have the money, of course). I prefer it.
I like choosing when I go home and come back to Cambridge.
S’just shite.
