Confusion a.k.a. prattlings of a nonsensical mind--take not this post seriously
"Baby set me free/promised misery/I can take it no more..."
Ya know, all of three weeks ago, I swore off love. Said it wasn't for me. And yet...
Four different guys, four different personalities, four different stages of crush-ness.
One helps me to laugh without malice, and to grow my faith.
One helps me to see my and others' faults and to accept them.
One helps me to see faults and laugh hysterically at them.
One helps me to realize my talent potential and push it farther.
Two are giddy silly little crushes--just those "we're just friends" type. One is a very good friendship. One is a very deep friendship. At least, I'd consider so.
I remember coming back from my vacation, and Heather, our bartender, was the first to ask how vacation was.
"Relaxing. Fun. Except for the phone solicitors. Oh yes, I got married 5 times in one night."
Heather stared, then burst into laughter.
"E-married!" I suddenly yelped, realizing what part of the word I had forgotten. "
E-married!"
Heather snickered. "Still, 5 at once?"
What I didn't tell her was what one of those guys had said afterwards.
"Why e-married?" he AIMed me. "Why not get married in real life, mmm?"
I thought he was still joking around, so I said, "LOL not yet!"
"Ah, but you'll be mine one day...just you watch."
I got a little nervous. "Heh, won't be any time soon--I'm not emotionally mature enough."
"Some day, then."
For some reason, the thought of being in a serious relationship with
anyone scares me. I do have one physical fault I am good at hiding, but I need to take care of it. Failing to do so isn't fair to whoever God meant to send me. (It's nothing obscene, but it's ...bweh.) I also need to work on my potential anemia, slight weight, and the whole general taking care of looking good.
It's funny--I never really cared about that much, only a few times--when I felt I meant the world to someone else. And it's funny--but those few times, I really cared about myself and I was very happy. Not fake happy--but knowing I meant something to someone else... *watches train of though run around in a circle* It was a genuine happiness.
I guess I tried to swear off love because I was afraid of the ever impending, unavoidable fall.
I'm over my past. Yeah, I've done bad things to others, to myself, and I've experienced bad things. But I only hope that I've matured for it. I've found in the past few months, after Mom's..."attempt"...that I approach things differently. And the emotional tantrums/blackmail that I always seemed to engage in when I felt I was being ignored (whether real or imaginary)...it's just not an option anymore. And I don't want it to be.
But I'm still scared to death of it resurfacing.
I was scared enough to be very serious with Mitch about it when we were talking the other day. I usually call him "Meh" in AIM. This one time though, we were talking about how I had done really badly back in February, how I told him I never wanted that to happen again, how I was afraid it could...
draKehho: And it scares the hayell out of me, Mitch.
Dilapoid: ...
Dilapoid: That's the first time you said Mitch.
(First time I had casually (psuedo-)swore in an AIM convo, too.)
I know none of them would do anything to hurt me, and I don't want to do anything to hurt any of them, but...
There's the distance. There's the emotional connection. There's the terror of being close, too close, and someone getting hurt, you know? (Gaw, this sounds like some big soap opera, lol. Oh look, here comes my long lost twin sister with amnesia! ^_^;) And the last few days, I've been so very happy, and I keep thanking God.
And telling Him to prepare me to understand there isn't always happiness.
But to keep gripping to the happiness that
is there, to not go back down dark roads again.
And I think about the guys. Try to figure out which one I like best, or how best to get over these silly little crushes. And just as I say, "Yes, this one stands out most," whatifs and can'tdoits pop up, making me think in reality and not fantasy and...*sighs*...throwing me around in circles. I'll admit I feel strongly for all of them (insomuch as I care tremendously, as in brother/sister, not in any obscene way), but one of them
does feel special and...and...
Ah well, crushes are just crushes 'n' nothing more. Right?

right?
