Things are waaaaaaaaay too serious. Time to calm the fuck down.
I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.

So I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we’ll never know most of them. But even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.

Reading people’s experiences on couchsurfing.org makes me want to travel so badly. Why am I job hunting instead of getting out there. Fuuuck.
You know, some people say life is short and that you could get hit by a bus at any moment and that you have to live each day like it’s your last. Bullshit. Life is long. You’re probably not gonna get hit by a bus. And you’re gonna have to live with the choices you make for the next fifty years.

Without change, something sleeps inside us. And it seldom awakens.
Frank Herbert
You have to get away from them. You have to get as far away as you can otherwise they’ll kill you with their lives. They don’t know what they do. They are careless with themselves and they take too much for granted. They make their shortcomings your problem. The only way to keep your head above it and heal your wounds is to crawl away.

Going back to myself
Okay, I can’t get sucked in. I can’t let these high school attitudes get the best of me. I refuse to be pulled down to their level. I didn’t come this far just to take three steps back.
I can’t help compare how I’m feeling right now to how I felt a year ago. Right now I feel really lost, but I now realize the vital difference between now and back then. It is amazing how being away from all your friends can make such a positive impact on your life. You have so much more time and energy to just focus solely on yourself. You aren’t busy trying to listen to insignificant problems, keep up on the gossip, or exchange bitter judgements on other people. I mean, the hanging out and having someone there for you is nice, but that’s not the shit that weighs you down. That’s not the shit that makes you just as bad as they are.
I am staying awake. I can’t keep going back to them. I need to also go back to myself. I need balance.
It’s a Saturday night and I’m spending it alone, and I’m also completely sober. Things are good.
“But because things change. And friends leave. And life doesn’t stop for anybody.”

This truly gives dialogue to the experience I’m having right now. It’s funny how I saved this quote in particular after reading the book. It’s as if I knew, somewhere down the road, this would apply to my life. It freaks me out, dealing with the changes. It’s not that I’m so afraid of new things, it’s that I look at old things with new eyes. And it’s almost heartbreaking to find out that all the things I knew to be beautiful were actually very ugly. My bubble’s been burst and suddenly I’m breathing different air. But it’s also okay. I know that. I’m just still getting used to it. I’m slowly building up another bubble.
