klonopin

I really like klonopin.  I take it pretty rarely.  But, I quite enjoy myself when I do.  It's not like woo woo im partying, more like yay my anxiety is gone and I can just peacefully exist for a few hours and hopefully get a good nights sleep. 

Last night I went out to a mellow show at a house near mine.  I spent the entire night talking to C's friend K who was just in town for a night.  He was challenging, interesting, a bit hokey, but great stranger company.  I was able to talk about some of my city life social group bullshit with someone who couldn't relate, at all.  This person travels all the time, lives out of a van, and is just totally different in the way they go about their life.  There was something beautiful in that conversation, the beauty of talking to a stranger when there is no pressure of building a friendship.  I found a note from him this morning on my desk:

Cosmo,
    It was so nice going to the music party with you last night.  Butterflies and Rainbows.
- K

perfect.  perfect.  perfect. 


Despite this I woke up today in the funk of all funks.  Anxiety, depression, lethargy, whatever you wanna call it.  it was brutal, I spend 90% of my day in bed watching dumb shit on my computer.  It wasn't until I took 2 klonopin at 7 that I walked outside, looked at the moon, and returned to my room to actually read.  The main character in the book I am reading reminds me of Alexis, my older sister, still born exactly one year before I was born.  I miss her right now, so much.  At my loneliest I think of her, at the peak of my happiness I do too.  She chose not to come here, to know me, to live with me.  I chose to come here, to fight and scrap and barely escape to get where I am now, which , i dunno, is somewhere.  Anyways, just thinking about Alexis brings up so much for me.  My younger brother was named after her, and we currently have what I consider to be a strained and not close relationship, which is a pretty big bummer for me.  Somehow, I am much closer with my sister these days.  Maybe that will change, maybe it won't.  Sometimes 18 years of living together in a fucking horrendously emotionally charged nightmare of a house, is too much to move past, the resentment too strong.  Alexis was never there for that, but I was.  I was the oldest, the experiment, the golden boy...I just wanted to be, but that was not an option.  I've spent a lot of time learning how to just be, and it has been one of the greatest battles of my life.  So alexis, if you are out there somewhere, know I love you and miss you, and wish I could look at you and hug you. 

On the bright side, Snail and I are doing fabulously.  It is hard to explain how awesome being with Snail is.  I feel free to explore and express my desires and we have so many so many so fucking many mutual desires, we have a positive feedback loop of good feelings, ugh.  They just texted me that I am a very cute and important walrus, and that feels so nice.  The 12 hours bone chilling anxiety I had today have finally come to an end, thanks to benzos and a snail.  Ugh, now back to reading Tom Robbins.
