My friends
are not like your friends.
We are free to talk and express ourselves
and not be afraid what others think.
We love what we do
We are who we are
And we love that.

Day 271
Looking out my dorm window
I wonder...
These new students
With their cocky attitudes
and loud music
Aren't so different from me
Yet I feel a world different from them.
I wonder if they'll graduate.
I wonder if my children will be like them.

Day 270
I don't have it.
I probably should.
I should be trying to get it
Trying to work on it.
I don't have it.
I don't have the patience.

Day 268
I know.
I missed it.
I missed them.
Out of my control
And I feel out of my mind.
Sometimes,
I just have to go with the flow
And accept that there are some things
That I cannot begin to control.

Day 265
Are you kidding me
Only one hundred more days?
Has that much time really gone by?
Have I made it this far?
Does time slip by so fast
That it can go flying past me
And I don't even know it?

Day 264
The sun is out
The air is clear
I'm ready to go
I don't have anything to fear.
So let's get ready
Let's take on something new
I'm ready if you're ready
Let's just see who.

Day 264
You know...
I really don't like this whole
"waiting" thing.
I kind of want to be IN the moment.
I want to be experiencing everything
And appreciating the world around me.
But lately...
It feels like all I'm doing
is waiting.
It's not the destination
It's the journey.

Day 263
So...
Life continues on, I guess.
And even after past events
After the mistakes we've all made...
We must learn to move on
Live on.

Day 258, 259, 260, 261
You won't find me.
You can look in all the familiar places.
You won't find me.
You can look where I usually tred.
You won't find me.
You can call me. Text me. Try to reach me.
You won't find me.
Because I planned it that way.
Call me after I've gotten a tan
And have sand embedded in my toes
Because then
You can find me.

Day 257
The little pleasures
of the day
continue to amaze me
and they brighten
the cloudy days.
It almost makes the bad days
mean too little to matter.

Day 256
Kit
You are so curious...
With your little wet nosey
And your perky little ears.
Chasing your tail
Playing with any loose string
Anything in your path
Running around like you are on crack...
Kitty.

A new chapter
unfolds itself in front of me.
And I must take a deep breath
and fall fall
fall
into the darkness
fall
into the unknown
and unto something new.

Day 254
(I decided not to continue that other side project, journal thing.)
I'm...
Tired.
I'm tired of always being let down by you.
I'm tired of the empty promises
No matter how good your intentions.
I'm tired of always giving you another chance.
I'm tired of having my heart broken.
I'm tired of always picking up the pieces
And going on with my life.
I'm tired of waiting.
I'm tired of repeating.
I'm tired....
Of being
Tired.

Day 253
Day 10 — Someone you don’t talk to as much as you’d like
It really does suck.
I really miss talking to you like we used to.
We’ve drifted away.
And damn
It hurts me.

Day 252
Day 9 — Someone you wish you could meet
It is very unlikely that the two of us shall ever meet…considering not only age difference, social stratosphere, location, and…well, occupation. The odds are against us meeting…and far against becoming friends but damn if I don’t dream it will happen.
You seem, truly, like someone whom I would be friends with. Your awkwardness, way of looking at things and overall personality leads me to believe what kind of person you are. I’m fascinated by you and I truly do want to meet you someday.
You are like the creative and kooky friend I’ve always wanted.

Day 251
Day 8 — Your favorite internet friend
It’s odd for me to really try to be friends with people I’ve never met.
It’s so different for me but…I love it at the same time.
I feel like…being a friend on the internet is like sharing ourselves with people without reservation.
Friendship without reservation.
I like it.

Day 250
Day 7 — Your Ex-boyfriend/ Ex-girlfriend
You know, it really was your fault. You were just too chicken to man up to it. I tried to show you how I felt. I tried to make it better. You just stood there and watched me.
I know that we weren’t meant to be a couple. I see that now.
But having to find out from someone else about your new, uh friend, was hard on me.
It’s funny; I’m still friends with your mother and she misses me.
I just wish I could say the same about you.

Day 249
Day 6 — A stranger
You don’t know me. You take one look at me and think you know me. That you know what I like, who I hang out with and what makes me tick. You probably think that you are better than me, that you will achieve more than me and that I’m no one special. You think your own life is too busy to bother with being nice to someone like me.
You don’t really want to know me.
Which is why, stranger, you never will.

Day 248
Day 5 — Your dreams
I wish I could understand sometimes what you are trying to tell me. You are crazy, unreal and fantastic in design. Sometimes I wonder what you are trying to tell me, but you are too fanatical for me to follow.
I love remembering what strange things happen. It makes me wonder what my subconscious is like. It’s when they are too realistic and your blend in with my daily life, does it freak me life.

Day 247
Day 4 — Your sibling (or closest relative)
Okay, no sappy crap because you aren’t that type of person. You might look big and immune to everything but I know the real you. I know you worry about me, even though I should be the one worrying about you. I don’t know if you are aware of how protective you can get. It’s actually nice to know you care.
I’m glad you care and I’m glad you are my brother because for the most part, I feel like we get along quite well.
It’s a good thing too because we would rip each other apart if we weren’t.

Day 246
Day 3 — Your parents
I love you more than I can ever say. You’ve always been there for me and sometimes, I wish I could repay you. I know that the best way, is to treat my own children the same compassionate way that you’ve treated me. You are not only my mom; you are a great friend to me who has been there.
Our relationship is strained. You know this and I know sometimes you try but more often than not, you don’t. Look, I’m trying, okay? I’m not perfect and you as hell aren’t. I can only have my heart crushed so many times before it doesn’t work anymore. You aren’t making it any easier.

Day 245
Challenge: Write an unsent letter, every day, for 30 days.
http://community.livejournal.com/embodiment/1686466.html#cutid1
Day 2 — Your crush / significant other
So you are traveling all over the world and I haven’t seen you since high school…so what? I still have the fond memories of sitting alone together in class, talking about our individual futures. We shared a love for the unusual, supernatural and otherwise creepy.
You and I were complete opposites. You had a girlfriend. You could be crude and rude at times. Your taste in movies is terrible.
But damned if I don’t think of you sometimes, out of the blue and I wonder what you’re doing.
Please be careful out there because someday, I would really like to see you again.

Day 244
Challenge: Write an unsent letter, every day, for 30 days.
http://community.livejournal.com/embodiment/1686466.html#cutid1
Day 1 — Your oldest friend (that I still talk to frequently)
I’m so lucky we found each other because high school would have been pretty dull without you. Going from being strangers sophomore year to the peanut butter to each other’s jelly by junior year happened so fast and so casually. It felt like we have known each other for much longer.
The distance between us now really has stopped and made me think. It’s hard for me because I’m used to talking to you every day. Now, we miss each other’s calls sometimes and don’t talk as often as we used to. This, I guess, is part of growing up. I miss it. In all honesty, I miss those laid back high school days in which we created our secret alter egos, doodling obscene pictures during choir, getting yelled at for talking in class…
I know your life is going in another direction and you may be aware that I don’t like everything you are up to, but I want you to know that I will always be here for you. You will always be my best friend. No matter what.
It’s just a little painful when you are so far away.
