I can't decide that it is a good thing or a bad thing that I ran out of drugs. :oops:

If you weren't around, I would probably die. And that's not an exaggeration.
I'm not afraid to keep on living

I am a bottomless pit of reassurance need. To satisfy my craziness I would need you to enthusiastically tell me how much you love me every single minute of every day forever. And even then, I don't think I'd ever believe it.

I never said for sure that it wasn't still a possibility. There is still some part of me that wants to. I never said for sure that I was opting out of this. I think I was just delaying it more than anything and that took the pressure off for a while but time has run out now and I need to make a decision. Live or die. I still don't know what to choose. I really don't want to let you down especially when you're fighting so hard for me at the moment. I feel so selfish. And this is why I am a bad friend. I am sorry.

and

1. every time i meet a new guy, my first thought is if a relationship between us would work. i feel like this labels me as "desperate," and i worry that i'll run off with the first guy that actually pays attention to me.
2. whenever people compliment me, i think they're lying, or just being nice. i wonder if i don't believe them because of issues with my self-image, but there's no way to get outside of my own head to find out. it's a conundrum that's driving me crazy.

sometimes i think it would be easier to hide away from everyone.
sometimes i want to just submerge myself into depression.
sometimes i wish i didnt have to try so hard.
sometimes im convinced the world will be better off without me.

meh.

I haven't had sex in over 2 years. It makes me feel worthless and unloved. At first I said "If, in 2 more months..." and then"If, in a year..." and every time the date flows by and I feel like I've failed again. And now I think "If, when I reah the 5 year mark..." and I'm beginning to think I might actually do something then. But mostly I just can't bear the thought of 3 more years alone.

Part of my head wants to still believe in romance and fate and happily ever after.
It tells me that I had to go through that to meet you.. it's hoping that out of something pretty crap will come something amazing.

The cynical, realistic part of my head tells me if I'm stupid enough to believe that, then I deserve the inevitable dissapointment.
The Patch Stop Bad Poetry


If only I had an enemy bigger than my apathy I could've won.
It does not do to dwell on dreams, and forget to live.
Must I be content with discontent...I cannot bite the day to the core.
To die would be an awfully big adventure
And how can I stand here with you, and not be moved by you? Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
Darkness can only be scattered by light, hatred can only be conquered by love.
Awareness is the enemy of sanity, for once you hear the screaming, it never stops.
Writers aren't exactly people...they're a whole bunch of people trying to be one person.

She was wearing your hoodie. She didn't look like you did. You won't anymore though, I guess, will you?
And then that makes me think of her hoodie.. I didn't like that hoodie, particularly, but I'd give anything to see it again. Anything.
And then her hoodie, the 'bad' hoodie. That makes me feel horrible.

I need to stop thinking.

I like you so much. But I'm so f***ing scared that I'm going to get hurt.
And I'm even more scared that if I tell you, I'll scare you away - if I haven't already.
