Please-Please-Please don't ruin this, mind. (Yes, I am talking to my brain.) For the incessant thinking you cause, I lose precious moments in the real world.
Luckily, lately the 'real world' has been a much brighter and happier place. Part of me feels like I'm racing the clock, and that this is not a feeling that can be obtained for long. But it doesn't matter to me, 5 minutes feeling like this instilled enough hope to last. How is it, that someone can simply appear from thin air and be exactly what you needed? Perhaps there is a merciful and loving God, or perhaps two people with the same needs are somehow magnetically attracted to one another...I'm sure there could be hundreds of spiritual or scientific explanations people might come up with, but all I know is how I feel when he touches me and I would never attempt to explain something that sacred.
At this point, it's not necessarily about him as an individual, more so it is about the things that come with him. Gifts or maybe just traits, that were bestowed upon him from some divine power, that make him unlike another experience thus far in my life. I know, Reader, you're thinking: "What the hell, this soon?". Yes. Because, like I said it's not about him per-say, it's about his being, just the simple fact that he exists. Now I know I can move forward: Progress>Regress. Understand?
There is a part of me afraid of admitting how I really feel because that's always been part of my defense system, but I am releasing my inhibitions and starting anew.
When you are completely honest with yourself, when you sincerely follow your gut, you really truly are more likely to find what you desire.

Do you really want to live forever?

Our morning.
A day of smiling and laughter, a roller coaster, and 2 shooting stars later, I am the happiest I have been in ages. Not the kind that I have been lately, where I feel what should be felt at appropriate times. This is an effortless happiness and completely accidental. I've seemed to stumble into this wonderful world-wind of chemistry and understanding. I know the potential consequences of my actions, I know it could fall just as easily as it flew. I know someone will hurt and hate, and I know I will lose valuable people in the process, but what I've gained is so great. I never believed in 'love at first sight' and I still don't, but love at first conversation....that is very real.
I told you, Reader, that I would do what was the best for myself from now on and I think I am.
...Oh, I know I am.

Trust isn't something you can negotiate. You either have it, or you never had it and once you lose it, the chances of getting it back are slim to none. I beginning to see that you never betray the trust of the people you irrevocably love. Yes, I have been a Judas of trust, just not to those who really make a difference.
*Laughs* Is laughing while typing insane?
My mother wrote a prayer for my sisters and I to recite before bed when I was a young child, it goes like this:
"Oh Allah, I pray tonight and ask of you to bring us light. To send the angels to see us through, and help us be good girls for you. Our life is yours, so help us be, your servants for eternity. Amen."
I'm not religious anymore, but reciting this in my head when I feel like it might explode calms me. It's eerie actually, and brings chills down my spine....Feels like home.
Oh Reader, what's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.
I loathe Shakespeare.

Xtinguish.
Alfred Lord Tennyson once wrote
"'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."
Obviously Mr. Tennyson has never loved. For him to think that the aftermath of love is worth the actual experience, means he must of been a masochist and personally, I would never take advice from someone of that nature.
Good God, what is my problem? How is it, that when I get exactly what I want, I can't handle it? Maybe I'm a masochist....Maybe, I think that good things just aren't meant to happen to me. You know, I think I'm not mature or strong enough to handle the present. I'm so frightened by living, by feeling and by becoming attached to any moment or any emotion. So, I avoid the present by constantly living in the past or waiting for the future.
A good friend (in fact a best friend), told me that the 'future' was the loneliest of all time. The 'past' has had it's time and remains always and forever concrete in it's occurrence, and the 'present' embraces you while you thrive in it....but the future is like a faint thought that you can't quite put into words, like a ghost the future is transparent and impossible to understand.
Reader, is it wrong that I miss the past so much that it hurts? I feel like my heart is on fire. The worst part is that I know I'm making the right decision. I know that I won't go back, because I know I shouldn't. Still, I never thought it would come to this. Past all the tears and screaming, I thought the outcome would be........I thought wrong. When I think about the factors as to why I feel this way, I am completely revolted with myself.
This is the last time I will write about this.
From now on Reader, we are moving on. Officially.

Yeild.
I'm an extremist.
As far as I'm concerned, it's all or nothing. I get everything you have to give or I have nothing to do with it. Gray area's are for things that don't matter...So, why do I feel like that's where I am?
It's easy to see how bitter I am, it's dangerously obvious. I have no qualm with that condemnation and I accept it for what it is. Actually, I think bitterness suits me, serves me as an old friend that's not really friendly.
'Longing' is a fleeting feeling and I'm not sure if it's as tangible as it seems, but I do know that it wakes me from sleep like a person without a face. Should I be horrified? Or justified, in the sense that I know it's only now real because I document it's existence? Do you understand, Reader? Is it only a problem because I recognize my concern for it? Perhaps, it's not even as strong a feeling as I make it seem. Perhaps I feel I should feel strongly, but I simply feel reminiscent.
I appreciate the truth, not matter how many thorns it brings.

Fly.
For so long, I've felt like my life was void of so many things. I felt like so much was missing and I had to search the world for it. I always thought I was racing the clock of life, for my life. How mistaken I was.
I'm beginning to see that what you feel is what your life becomes. I have all the beautiful things life has to offer inside of me, and I've had it all along. I allowed the wrong people into my life. They suppressed the urge to fly inside of me, and I let them take away my real happiness and instead place their false happiness in it's place. But I didn't need any one's happiness, because the real kind lives strong inside of me.
What I needed was to rid myself of the leeches in my life, who were sucking out my ability to think straight. Leeches are selfish, and I thought I was being selfless by allowing myself to be the host. I was ignorant. The truth is that being 'selfless' is ultimately selfish. I ended up blaming the world for my emptiness, but it was my fault for not breaking free when I was so aware that I needed to. Who can help you, if you won't if attempt to help yourself? You don't love someone because they're a good person, they are a good person because you love them. Loving someone because they make you feel alive, real, and tangible, might be selfish, but it allows you to be honest with the reasons why you love them.
My darling Reader, I am breaking free.
I recognize happiness, beautiful selfish happiness , the only true kind.

You are a fraud.
"Birds of a feather flock together."
It's true, that the people you allow in your life are a reflection of yourself. When you befriend or tolerate someone who's behavior isn't what "you would do", it may as well be. You're telling the world that you condone said persons behavior and that it's dandy with you.
So your friend is racist. "'Oh, but, I'm not racist"....You may as well be, you're befriending someone who is. That is inadvertently accepting their behavior and adopting it, just like you adopt the friendship.
Your friend is a gossiper and has a habit of backbiting. Of course, you're way too "naive" to notice, and it's not like you're saying anything. Again, you may as well be talking as much as he/she. Do you have any balls? Do you stick up for the people she/he talks about? Is she/he honest, and say those things in front of subjected person? If the answer is "No" to those three questions, then YOU, are also a dishonest slanderer.
The reality is that most people don't have the guts to surround themselves with good people. That being because, most good people end up being dishonest due to the fact that are surrounded with dishonest people who also used to be good. Crazy huh? But very true and very pathetic. It's not rocket science people, I'm not telling anyone something they didn't already know.
I don't expect anyone to be saintly and I don't even want you to be. Still, think about whether or not you have to watch what you say in front of 'certain' people. Are these people your supposed 'friends'? If you don't have room enough in your friendship for honesty, then you never had friendship to begin with.
Which brings me to another topic, loyalty. Something most people know absolutely nothing about. The people you are loyal to are not perfect, because no one is. The people you are loyal to are not godly or necessarily talented, because those are not reasons to announce loyalty. The people one should chose to be loyal to are the people who are consistent and loyal to a certain type of lifestyle. These kinds of people are persistent in their pursuit to see positivity spring from whatever they can. The people you are loyal to, never test your loyalty, but when they do, it is with very strong feeling. Are you loyal to the right people?
I have wasted loyalty before, I will never get all that energy and dedication back. They couldn't return the gesture....in simple (and vulgar) words, "They had no balls" and definitely weren't consistent in any aspect of their lives.
I want to be a good friend of yours, Reader;
I hope in return you will be honest and loyal.
