BITTER DIVORCE
After dealing with my parents long and bitter divorce, which just became final after nearly two years of bickering; losing my job as a result of the recession and then getting dumped by my girlfriend I’ve been feeling a bit emotionally bankrupt. I feel like I just don’t have anything left in the tank to give, I could care less what happens anymore or why it happens for that matter. For right now I plan on just collecting unemployment – above and beyond that I’m just going to let the chips fall where they may. Caring about things has only ever led to me getting hurt in one way or another, so by logic if I refuse to care about anything from here on out then I should be perfectly safe from getting hurt. I don’t necessarily want to be a cold or uncaring person, but I’m totally fed up with the bad things that happen when I invest emotion in other people. I’ve gotten to the point that I’m willing to sacrifice whatever good feelings that may have come with starting and developing a relationship just so I don’t have to worry about dealing with the bad stuff that’s sure to follow.
