"Insist on yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with the cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have only an extemporaneous half possession." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

One is the Lonliest Number. . .

"True love never runs smoothly. . ." - English Proverb

There is an old saying that states,"Good things come to those who wait." Really!? Who says and why!? How does that work with the saying that states, "The early bird catches the worm," or concepts like being diligent and working for what you want!?

If you haven't already guessed I'm a little irritated. (I know it was hard to tell). I'm irritated because I'm finding that my surroundings are having a major effect on my inner workings. In a normal circumstance, I would be fine being alone. I would feel claustrophobic and would run and hide away from people that wanted to be near me. Now I find myself. . .just here. Alone.

It's so weird how we want what we can't have and don't want what's available to us. It's like overexposure can soothe desire, where are in other cases, over exposure causes addiction. Well, I'll tell you one thing. . .I'm not going to get addicted to this!

The situation is simple: All of my friends are boo-ed up. It's like God waited for me to say I didn't want a relationship to give them all relationships. OH, THE IRONY! I don't even know if I want a relationship, as much as I just want someone to call, or go to the movies with. Nothing serious, but he has to be as disinterested as me, yet interested enough to want me a little more than I want him. Complicated right?

I don't know. I think I just am having a moment. Which will pass, and then I will be back to my normal anti-love/relationship self. . . I hope. :)

  1. Nothing wrong for wanting companionship. That's why God made Eve. People aren't meant to be alone, at least not all the time.

  2. Girl, I can relate to this post so well. The want what we can't have and don't want whats available to us is sooo my life right now. The part about not wanting a relationship but a movie partner or someone to call is exactly where I am in life. Its like I want a main guy but not a boyfriend, someone I am attracted to and actually want to hang out with but not all the pressure. Sheesh

  3. @Za: Agreed, but just wanted someone compared to the one is different. I don't want to miss out on greatness for good. I'd rather torture myself and wait. . . which it is torture lol
