Post by Forget Me » Wed Feb 22, 2012 10:56 am

i am...
-defiantly and obstinately myself
-caring
-mature
-insightful
-completely hopeless when it comes to relationships and other social interaction
-frequently stunned by the realisation that I've somehow managed to become who I wanted to be when I was in high school, apart from the whole interpersonal thing
-a fuckton more confident than I was a few years ago
-an alcoholic

i am not...
-going to make concessions or change myself for others
-alone, though god it feels like I am
-going to forget that really, I love myself
-too messed up to find love
-going to give up

i feel...
-lonely
-inadequate
-sad
-grateful and resentful at the same time

i want...
-to forget I'm me
-to want to be me
-someone to show romantic interest in me (even if I'm not interested, it would be nice...)
-the fact that I just aced my post-grad course to mean more to me than it does
-a buttload of weed
-to have my mum standing by my bed and stroking the hair off my face until I fall asleep like she did when I was little and too scared to fall asleep
-for someone to love me enough to write a song about it
-to see my neice

i need...
-more friends, and ones that aren't dickheads
-to get out of this town
-to meet new people
-someone to know I'm hurting and care enough to make me talk about it
-someone who knows me well enough to notice how withdrawn I've become and want to help
-to pee

i have...
-some friends who aren't dickheads
-friends and family who would take me in if I had nowhere to go
-a little neice who is going to grow up loving me, and her parents love me too
-a family who would do anything for me, if only I could tell them I needed it
-a swimming pool in my apartment building, which is pretty damn sweet

i love...
-my family
-everyone who loves me
-my cat
-all of the good things from all the parts of my life I've lost
-all the friends I've left behind for whatever reason
-the thought of one day being with a guy who loves me for me and him holding me for hours
-music

i hate...
-the times when I feel like I know with all my being that I'll be a spinster aunt and never have a husband or family
-being me (sometimes, like now)
-all the friends who left me to go to Australia, where all they do is smoke meth and go to crappy jobs so they can buy more meth. I loved them before they left.
-that I find it so damn hard to make friends, and harder still to keep them
-that I don't know who to ask a friend if they want to hang out without there being a specific thing to go to
-that I don't know how to ask guys out and that they never ask me out, so i'm screwed really (or rather, not screwed, har har)
-the feeling of helplessness that comes with being lonely and not knowing how to make friends
-me

i love...the feeling of giving myself what i need, of feeling like i deserve comfort and being able to "fix" discomfort

i hate...being alone/isolated and having my t appt taken away so that i had/have no one to really talk to this week.
