Empty?


I feel like I'm the person in this jacket.
Empty and Lonely.
Like something is missing. And like always, I try to fix that with something. That something used to be food, but lately that hasn't worked either. I'm not even hungry, I think if I tried to eat I would just throw it up. So this time I shopped. I bought food, that I didn't even eat. I bought a sweater because the lady at the store picked it out for me and said she liked it on me. That made me feel good, so I bought it. I bought a necklace with silver and teal hearts for $3.00, and a pair of sunglasses. So basically an entire outfit. Minus the pants and shoes... and underwear and bra and socks.
I miss Patrick.. more than ever. He won't be back until December 13th, and I hate it. And a few weeks later he leaves again, forever. Well it might as well be forever. I am dreading it. I just want him to stay here, where I can see him, and touch him, and talk to him.
And even though I'm dreading all of this. I don't feel much except for emptiness. I think I'm slowly becoming emotionally numb. Because nothing seems to bother me anymore. I never cry anymore, even when I think I'm in a situation where I should probably cry or at least feel some sort of sadness or remorse. I don't feel like the same me that I'm used to. I feel different. I act differently. I think differently. I talk differently. I've changed a lot. I'm not sure if I like it or not.

Girl,

You need the love of Jesus Christ to fill your needs and saturate your emptiness. Read his Word. He will fill the void that is in your life. I promise. I was once exactly like you.

You hope and you pray, you dream and you beg, but in the end what are you left with but a broken heart and empty eyes? I read that somewhere and I couldn't agree more... But sometimes, when life is at it's crappiest... you need to stop and think, I am not dead yet.
