When I see you again, I'll know not to expect
Stay one step away, we will have to wait
When I see you again and I'm greeted as a friend
It is understood that we did all we could
“You think that he cheated on you because you weren’t hot enough. That’s not true. He cheated because he was the kind of man who cheats, and I sought him out because I like men like that. They thrill me even in the predictability of their deception. You let your love run cold, yes, but only in the way that humans do. A more decent man would have stayed with you through the tougher times, stayed honest, and worked with you on building something that can create sexiness in its stability. He would have found you both comfortable and exciting, because he would be capable of seeing more than one facet of your humanity.” - How I Will Sleep With Your Boyfriend
I miss my youth. I have the worst case of night feelz and nostalgia. Nostalgia for a better time, a better me and also, some of you. The truth of the truth is that absolutely nobody will ever make me feel as young and or as happy as you did. I'm not in love with you anymore that would be ridiculous, that is simply the way my fucking life is. Looking through old posts and shit because assignments, I find that what I miss or yearn for is not the way I felt and what not, but for the special kind of hope only possessed by those still in the prime of their youth and naivity. And I can see it, positively radiating off our glistening faces, this subtle twinkle in the eyes of kids in love. I can fucking see it on all of our faces, pressed next to each other, making goofy faces to pass the ridiculous amounts of time we spent doing absolutely nothing. I can see it in the pinks of our cheeks, high off wine and love and debauchery. This is too depressing. I am absolutely and have always been, terrified of growing old and losing that. These things happen over time, like a motherfucking ninja. The thing about Life is you don't ever really notice things are changing until they have changed. God damn this is fucking depressing. I have a jonzing for all the times we've had. I know I've made some horrible mistakes in my life, but I wouldn't have had it any other way. Okay, maybe I definitely would have been better to you. But I still wouldn't have changed what I did and how I tried to make it better by giving everything to you, because it really taught me what it truly means to fucking love somebody. I don't want to be old and have no feelings and be fat and gross, somebody please save me ):
What does it mean to be home? The first week back consisted of: complaining endlessly abt the ridiculous heat, getting into trouble cos I just got home so free pass (lol) and being crazily jetlagged. The next week was decidedly quieter, rushing some disgusting assignment with this imagined pressure to always be #1. Last night was it's tuesday time to get drunk, making fucking inappropriate jokes and generally doing what I was not supposed to do. Reality is a bitch. See also: why do I have the worst friends ever. Like can you not.. I mean like.. CAN YOU NOT. Swear that information gave me a mild stroke while i sat there fucking smiling politely and pretending that these images weren't fucking burning themselves into my brain while my phone pings with your messages. UGH. I just want things to be normal, which they are.. except now I know where you've been and just.. eeeeeeeeee. The funny thing is that well, it really isn't my only friend. I'm very lucky for everybody and everything, even for the pressure there is for me to be "better", whatever the fuck that means. A lot of me resents this pressure and expectation there is for me to have somehow magically gotten "better" when, really, who was there to help me? It's naive to think that moving to a place where no one knew me or anything about my life would somehow make things easier. It doesn't. Yes, I screwed up. Yes, even in our little bubble of time and space I still somehow managed to corrupt things from the inside. Yes, I was wrong. Yes, I've been better. But also: Yes, I was happy. Yes, things were easy. Yes, from the pits of my mistakes and desperation, I found something almost real. So I was wrong.. so what?
