A Good Day

Fri ,19/03/2010

Today has been a good day so far, and it’s only 3:30pm.  I’ve managed to do a whole bunch of things today, things that I have been putting off for far too long.  It’s amazing how many things have stacked up for me.  But then again, I’ve kinda been avoiding dealing with my life for a while.  That’s pretty hard to admit.  Obvious maybe, but still hard to admit.

One of the things I have managed to do today, is CLEAN.  I’m talking, CLEAN.  Spring style.  The house hasn’t looked this good in… well, since before I moved back in.   I am l-o-o-o-v-i-n-g it.  It’s like a huge weight off my shoulders.  *deeeeep inhale*  Ahhhhh…. *pats himself on the back*

I haven’t really been right since she moved back down there.  I’ve been scared, and I’ve been lonely, and I’ve been avoiding dealing with my life.  I do miss her so much… all the Gods and Goddesses I miss her so much.  She was and is the brightest thing I have ever seen in my life, and I have cherished every single second of being close with her.  I miss that feeling in my life, I miss it so much.  And even though I believe in the strength of it, and I believe that it’s still there for both of us, I’m still scared like, maybe that’s not going to be good enough for her, and .. maybe I will lose that.  The most amazing thing I have ever seen or believed in in my entire life.  The strength of it.  The sheer holy fucking joy of it.  Her.  The most beautiful person inside and out I have ever met.

I’ve been afraid because … I have no job.  I have no prospects.  I have no money.  I have debt stacking up against me.  I’m pretty terrified on this front.  I have had some bright blessings, but I am far from out of the woods.

… but now …

I’ve been trying to live my life more.  I’ve been taking more time for myself.  I’ve been getting myself out of the house.  I’ve been taking time to have fun by myself.  Having time where I am by myself.  Time to cry.  And believe me, I cry.

And as always, life goes on.  It’s so rare to ever find anything that DOES happen at an ideal time.  But things always tend to happen … NOW.  They happen in the present.  And part of living in the present, is dealing with them in the present.  Take the bad for now I guess, and appreciate the high points that much more … whenever.  There’ll be more high points in my life …. some day.  For now, there is today.  And I’m going to enjoy the high points in today.  And not just the high points, but the low points too.  And the shit that I have been putting off for far too long, like cleaning this house.  And I’m going to be thankful for all of it.  While my life would be the happiest I could picture it with her, I won’t be miserable without her.  I refuse to be.  But for now, yes, damnit I’m going to hurt.  Right now I have time to feel.  I have time to live the highs, and I have time to live the lows.

It’s a pretty rollercoastery day.  I’ve flip flopped back and forth quite a bit.

I’m pretty much just writing straight everything I’m thinking down.

I hope this isn’t too hard on anybody.

… it’s pretty hard on me …

but even so…

it’s a good day.

=)

*big hugs to you all*

Struggling

Sat ,13/03/2010

So wow.  I’m really struggling today.  I recently promised somebody 6 weeks of silence so they could hear their own thoughts with no biased outside influences, and I am struggling to maintain this silence.  It’s something I promised, and I aim to stick to that.  But … wow.  So much I want to say.  So many synchronicities, so much confusion.  Hell, even this might be out of line, but this is my space, and if I can’t talk here, then where? Silence when every ounce of your being is singing and laughing for, and wanting to be closer to someone is … torture.

The silence was recently broken by the other party, and since then, it’s harder than ever to keep quiet.  I reminded them this was their idea, and that if I’m expected to be quiet, then it’s no fair talking to me either.  I want to talk, and it’s easy to make excuses to do so.  If we keep things on business, if it’s just friendly, if it’s important…. but then it gets easier and easier to do it again next time, and pretty soon we’re right back where we started, and nothing is accomplished.  So I stayed strong.  It killed me to say that, because the one thing I really really really really really want right now is to pull them closer, not push them away.  I’m hurting so much on the inside right now, tearing up, lost in thought, in emotion that I’m trying not to let myself focus on it.  I’m holding back the dam of feelings as it were.  But ever since last night, I came across two pictures, and since then everything is demanding to get out.  My thoughts, words, all the things I want to say, all the things I want to do, the life and love I wish to live.  The emotions.  The sorrow and sadness I feel at having to go against what comes natural to me.  I guess this post is helping, because the dam just broke, and it’s coming out right now, and coming out hard.

Life is pain.  Life is a struggle.  Life isn’t always fair.

But through pain and struggle, we learn, we grow.  Right?

And sometimes, life CAN be fair.

I don’t know.  I’m rambling.  I want nothing more than to say screw it all.  But I promised, and even if it’s hard, it’s a good thing, something that needs to be done for now.  It’s not like it’s permanent.  I can do this.  I can do this.  I can do this.

*deep breaths*

Thanks for bearing with me folks.  I feel a little better.
