So… Im feeling all these feelings lately. Im not sure how to catergorize them really. Its kind of confusing.
Feelings for one person, feelings for other people… other… types of people I guess youd say.
I am just feeling so much intensity right now. I want to explore all of these feelings, all the different ones, at such opposite ends of the spectrum, but I am afraid of each feeling. I wish I had someone to talk to but I am not really sure who to go to with this. Who can I trust, who can understand.
And with you. Lovely, handsome, you. Lovely, handsome, genuine, nice, caring, sweet, easy you. You are too good. And thats the problem. Things that are too good, are often, if not always, too good to be true. How can I even be sure these feelings are real for you if we cant explore them. If you’re afraid, and I’m afraid, then what. We are just two people, who go with the motions of something real, afraid to call it what it Really is, because if its really what it really is then theres a real chance of getting really hurt. Or maybe… its just real for me. And I guess thats what I am afraid of.
We all have fears. Especially those of us who’s fears have become all too real in the past. And then it gets harder to get past those fears, to come face to face with them, and be brave. It gets harder and harder not to sleep with a nightlight because when you become so used to that safety net it becomes the per usual of your life. I for one have many fears. Silly ones of spiders, scary movies, and things under my bed. More serious ones of plane rides and robbers. And then those fears that have developed only from experience, which I think can be the worst and most fearful of all. A crazy fear of hospitals, an intense fear of going under anesthesia, with last thoughts of never waking up again. A fear of falling in love. Or more so, of Love in itself. I tend to reject anything that resembles love in my life. Whether it be personally directed At me, or something in the passing of my eye. Romance, fairy tales, loving embraces, looks, and words. Too much for me. Bullshit, is what I call. I think that I try to make myself feel like its all too fake, too plastic, and try to convince myself that such things dont really exist in reality. Love isnt what everyone makes it look like. Its not picture perfect smiles, it can never be that way, and people who are sappy and too happy are really delusional waiting to be crushed. I guess because that was me. I dont ever want to let myself be deluded by someone again, into thinking that the feeling I feel is something so incredible that I cant be without it. The illusion of pure bliss and happiness. The feeling of such intensity in my heart, flowing inside my body, that I can hardly contain it. That is my worst fear. And speaking from experience, it has been rightly developed. Ive turned into this… this bitter, pessimistic, non believing girl. And I dont have too much of a problem with it. I dont want to turn into a silly naive girl like I was. I dont think Id be able to stand myself. But… sometimes, what I Would like… is to think that maybe its okay to feel loved and want to love. Maybe not the kind that I see everyone else having, because when I see other people, and not to be rude, I just feel like its such a show. And I want to roll my eyes and be done with it. But my kind of love. The new kind of love. I dont need to be totally wrapped up in someone else to be Happy. And I dont want to be. No one else completes the person I am and they never will, I make myself whole. And I like that feeling. Ive never felt that way before, until the last year or so, but it makes me feel stronger. Like I am a strong woman, not just some lovesick girl waiting for a man to come by and take care of her. Like I can walk into any place and hold my head up high and present myself for the world to see, standing alone and being Okay. No… Im not asking for a man to make me whole. God, I cant even think about getting that close to a man, not right now anyways… Maybe someday… maybe. But for me, that kind of closeness is almost, no it Is, claustrophobic. I need to have my own self, my own space, something to call mine and mine only. But, sometimes I like to think of someone standing Beside me. Holding my hand… pulling me close… giving me the kind of feeling that I dont want to admit I need, but for one second, I will admit it. I’m not going to go search for it, honestly I dont want to. I want to feel things naturally develop, which… ehhh… nevermind. I will say on that note though that… feeling something so easy, so uncomplicated, a feeling that you know is right, like the way you perfectly fit into someones nook, is such a peaceful freeing feeling. But thats all Im going to say… because being vunerable is also one of my biggest fears, and although I feel like a strong woman and can present myself as such… I am breakable… very breakable, fragile, and delicate. Not quite as hardened and cynical as the world might see when the lights go out.
