"At times the world can seem an unfriendly and sinister place. But believe us when we say there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. And what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events, may in fact, be the first steps of a journey. "

untouchable

it's 9:12 pm and I am bored. bored. bored. bored.
I don't like feeling bored because then I have way too much time to think. If I start thinking, well, the possibilities are endless.

I wish I could do something tonight. But most of my friends are miles away, living their lives in college or doing something for spring break. And here I am, wasting my night away thinking about how much fun I could be having if they were here.

I feel strangely alone, and sometimes that happens. I can honestly say I hate being alone, but I'm trying to learn to like it. I'm learning to depend on myself because sometimes, that's all I have.

But to be honest, I hate it. I hate feeling like all you have is yourself. I love knowing that somewhere out there, there is someone who cares about you as much as you care about them. And sometimes you feel that way. And sometimes you don't.

I think I build myself up just to get hurt. Why? Because I expect so much out of my friends. I do. Sometimes, they are everything I want and sometimes, well, they let me down. I feel like I try so much more to be a part of their lives. Should I feel this way? I don't know. I don't know if it's just me worrying too much or if I just read way too much into everything. But it's a terrible feeling. A feeling I don't like to express,

but sometimes, I do.

Jared listens to me every time I call him upset about these things. He tells me I worry too much and makes me laugh. He tells me everything will be fine and that my worries will soon be ended because I will see them again, and it will be like nothing has changed. I appreciate him so much for that.

I love that I can come to him, but there's a part of me that hates that I have to. I want to be more independent. I want to take those feelings and put them in the back of my head and go on with my life.

And so, that is what I am gonna try so hard to do. After this post, I will try so much harder to learn to be okay with being with myself.
