I ran out of room to grow so very long ago.
Home is where my heart is, but my mind needs to be elsewhere.

The Face vs. The Screen
It’s all too easy, sitting behind a screen. You use the keyboard to let the words and emotions flow through your fingers when it’s so hard for you to say them out loud. The tears stream down in silence, the murmurs aren’t heard by a single soul. Those feelings are transmitted through the wires as numbers and letters, losing its meaning and poignancy as text allows those words...

I just watched (500) Days of Summer.
A learning experience. I’m actually quite glad I watched it now, in this mindset. Had I waited or seen it earlier I probably wouldn’t have taken away the same message.
It reminds me that I miss [you]. It reminds me that I should give it another chance and ask (you) again. It reminds me that [you] were so much like what I now know that I never want. It reminds me that {you} could...

I wish I were extraordinary.
It’s hard to deal with the realization that you’re never the first choice. Always an afterthought, stuck in the back of someone’s mind. They don’t think of you often enough, they don’t see you as someone important or significant. Someone you think is special… to know that they don’t even think of you the same way at all is just painful.
And it’s...

A Change of Pace
To deviate from my previous trend, I’m going to try to point out and remember more of the things that I like about myself. It’s not good to always look at the bad.
I like my hair. A lot. I like that it’s shiny, healthy, thick, and soft (when I wash it). Guys like my hair, girls like my hair, babies like my hair, old people like my hair. I believe that my hair is my best...

Grateful
grateful (http://definr.com/grateful) 1: feeling or showing gratitude 2: affording comfort or pleasure
I am grateful for many things.
An internet connection. Access to multiple computers. A cellular phone that has unlimited texting. Money to spend. A room of my own. A house with air conditioning and heating. A refrigerator and pantry full of food to keep me from being hungry. A roof over my...
You don't have to tell me anything.
You don’t. Really, you don’t. I always find out on my own eventually. If you’re keeping something from me. If you’re not telling me the whole story. It just never really occurs to me at the time. It’s always later. You never tell me of your own accord, I always have to ask first.
Why can’t you be more open with me? It hurts to know that you don’t...

I took a chance and essentially got rejected.
We’ll see if it’s a real rejection later. But it’s still the same nervousness from asking and the same low from getting rejected (yet again).
Oh, feelings… you’re such a bother.

And I realize that you are now my one and only, the only one that will ever matter.
Maija, you are my best friend and always will be. I love you.

I had a dream I kissed you...
Not you kissing me, But me kissing you. How happy we’d be…
Dreams are such a wonderful thing to wake up from at times. You find love, you find peace, you find adventure all without even being conscious. Those things that you yearn for so much come to you just like that and disappear just so. But when you wake up and find it didn’t really happen, your heart drops and those...
