'if you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married' YOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN KATHARINE HEPBURN.
honestly though. is it so hard to be happy with what you got? the chain reaction has to start somewhere and think what you want of me, but i -never- begin the chain reaction.
i blinked and the fear seized me up and i went numb. panic flutters across my eyes and i know i'm tense. time travel portal and what if i dreamed it all. i don't ever want to feel like that again. robot anesthesia. grab the closest thing near me and i'm back. walk away like nothing happened and continue to pretend it was a past lifetime.
ive gotten so far detached about what -is- going on that if i tried to come back in, i would get knocked over by all of it. it's a race i ran for two years and was always in full sprint to keep up so when i finally stopped trying to stay ahead, everything kept going and i fell so far behind. but there's people there and i'm just trying to keep up with them now. i hope that makes sense, i'm not a terrible person. i just can't care. it is that simple. i love what i have (had) but that was so long ago that it's possible i dreamed it. there was a lot i didn't know back then that i now know. we've all heard it 'ignorance is bliss' and it is. but who doesnt want to be in the loop? the truth is, getting close to people equals caring. caring about people gives them the opportunity to injure you and i dont mean this in some angsty way. some people care with hugs and kind words. i don't. and letting go fucking sucks but i'm finally happy and floating through life again and in the end, i hope i can forget everything- that's all i want out of all of it.
there's a deployment job opportunity i am considering. there are two main reasons to forbear but the reason i want to convince myself is the important one is my current job. but the first chance i get to fly off, bet you're fucking ass i'm not sticking around.
this place is a destitution and i'm not talking about arizona.
amen sista!! the first 3 lines of this post i couldn't have said it better myself!!!
ReplyDeletegeez, you make me hate myself because of my gender!
ReplyDeleteShare a single laugh, and perhaps everything changes. You know whats unfair about my gender? I am positive my current interest believes I am only putting effort into her, only to have sex with her. Plainly put. I suppose I could tell her that is the last thing on my mind... but that would be pointless... because men will say anything, right?
ReplyDeletethe only way you can prove her wrong is just dont initiate sex. and if she initiates it, obviously make sure she's not doing it to test you.
ReplyDeleteand dont always joke about sex, either. i've met so many guys that are like 'dont worry im not trying to f you' but 85% of the jokes revolve around f'ing me.
she's a lucky girl.
Someone would joke about f'in you, or any other girl? I mean... that is rather blatant... and an extreme lack of class.
ReplyDeleteWait... I need to google an example.. nope no luck.
Do you mean a guy being cocky about his cock? lol funny word.
Oh btw, you always find a way to be so kind to me.
yeah. the most recent one, he tends to make those 'i would rock your world... just kidding... imagine if your husband heard us talking' jokes.
ReplyDeleteor make off hand comments about how he needs to get laid.
=) you make it so easy, pal.
Girl, what is going on with you? You seem so down...I need to stop here because I'll say something cheesy like "Cheer up!" and I know those aren't magic words. Wish they were though.
ReplyDeleteYou open the door, and see a monster! It attacks!
ReplyDeleteI cast "Cheer up!".
Congrats, you vanquished the monster and find a key.
HA! your nerdy optimism is awesome, bradon.
ReplyDeletesandra- i've actually cheered up tons over the past year. it all comes back to the marriage thing and how fucking annoying it is that the guy will still continue to wank off to porn and check out any/every chick any/everywhere. it came down to i have to care less about him (and in essence, what he does) for me to be happy. in doing so, ive made a bunch of new friends and feel human again.
every once in a while, i remember WHY i had to do all that and i get pissed off at mike cus all he would have had to have done is not be such a dick. =)
Pleasant like a pheasant peasant. I live in a wonderful anthropomorphic populated kingdom.
