wow long time no journal
i guess this is going to be a long entry because i have quite the update:
I kind of have a boyfriend
now i say this not for the omfg no way no way effect, just more as a clarification
i need to remind me, to document the epicness, of having a nice decent guy actually want to be with me
so basically, it's kind of awesome
we're not actually technically exclusive yet, but it feels like it
he walks me to class and kisses me goodbye
we text like every waking second possible
yea...he's pretty much a shoo-in for the cliche high school relationship i'm looking for lol
today dan (yes that's right my crush from before) walked right past matt when we were holding hands
it was weird, but i kind of felt nothing
i mean, i expected to have this great vengence moment like ha! take that! but no
matt just felt like any other random nameless person
i'm not sure if that means i'm completely over everything that happened or if i've honestly managed to convince my brain that my matt and hallway matt are unrelated
i know i think about him less and less, but from time to time i feel like it's good to remember
the weird thing is now that i'm with dan, i really do believe it was my past experiences with matt and chris that allowed me to believe i deserve to be loved
people keep telling me how they could never do what i did with dan and just straight up tell someone they liked them
too much fear of rejection, i guess
but for me, i learned the hard way that you never get what you want if you don't go after it
it sounds corny, but it's so fucking true
guys don't pick up on hints
you have to just sit down with them and be like, listen: this is how i feel so this is what i want from you
it's not fair to expect anyone to be a mind reader
maybe he could have said no, but i had a good feeling
trusting your instincts is key
the human mind is fucking powerful if you know how to use it
but the thing is, if i hadn'tmessed up so bad with chris and matt, iprobably wouldn't have figured that out
and i think that's part of the reason i have so much hope for the way things could work out with dan
this time, i feel ready
i'm so much less vulnerable because i know what i deserve
i'm so sick of letting people judge me and telling me i'm not good enough
because really, as long as i can truly say deep down inside that for the most part i am okay with me, then i don't see the problem
if i break it down, people are just as annonymous as any other species
i have accepted that my life is unimportant
it sounds kind of depressing, but there's this huge upside that no one ever really looks it
because the good part of being that uninfluential is that no matter how bad you fuck up, your mistakes are completely impermanent
i kind of had an opiffany this morning
if i look at my life individual, i can see all these building blocks that piece it together
for instance, my life can basically be broken down into school, home, friends, gymnastics, etc
and then even within all these assets come subdivisions
for school, i have grades, reputation, attitude
for gymnastics, i have effort, relationships, determination
the lists can just go on and on getting more specific forver
but seriously: if your life, your entire existence is unimportant?
then all those facets, everything that makes you you?
they're like fucking paper clips to the rest fo the world
i guess what i'm trying to say is that you have to live life completely for yourself
in the end, making everyone else happy just makes you miserable
it's taken me a while, but i think i've really been able to embrace that
i can now watch tv without feeling guilty
i can make an executive descision that i care more about music than grades
once you have priorities in order, the rest is easy
it's just getting there, the breaking away
well, that part is some hard ass shit
best of luck,
serenity
i think its getting better in the worst way
