Step By Step

Yay. Don't I make it easy to avoid the serious stuff with all these wandering email threads and snippets? :P :)

Oh wait, I thought you wrote "Still love you" to me... ooops. lol lam..

So I wrote a message to every single person on the roommate site tonight, even the ones I wrote to during this past week since I started really trying to find a roommate again.

I looked at apartments and everything is so expensive that isn't in the ghetto and even the ghetto isn't cheap.

Getting old along and poor is really no fun. I see why some people just let go and die.

I'm too stubborn for that and besides, somewhere inside I get off on this hopeless martyr trip.

Who's mentally ill? Jesus?

I didn't laugh out loud, I'm showing respect.

I also see why people compromise in relationships they barely tolerate or even hate.

I'm too stubborn for that too and I've had enough abuse for one lifetime.

Nobody's gonna abuse me more than I do anymore, so there.

I suppose I could give up softball and social life and move to some small town where it's cheaper to live but still not too far from work. That may be my only alternative as the years pass.

Or maybe I'll feel better about spending more on rent in a few months when the car is paid off.

Maybe the right house will turn up, but I don't even know where to start looking.

This ghetto shack sold for about $70,000 and his mortgage is under $500 a month. I just don't have the money to fix a place like this up enough to make it livable and there is the little thing about drugs and guns and crime right outside the front door. But I've done a good job ignoring that.

I am really trying to think through my options...

it is sad but getting stressed or depressed over it isn't going to help me live longer and I still want to live longer, so use that logic to see this rambling is the only way to really see my choices and try to choose the best choice I have.

That is the best I can do and the best I can do is a good thing.

Good things make us happy, right? :)

Maybe I could find a house I could afford if it was far enough from civilization... seems the most sensible option.

Know anybody in real estate I can trust?

I promise I won't be your neighbor :P

I should go to sleep. Tomorrow is a 6 AM to 6 PM day at work and then softball after that if it doesn't rain. Same for Thursday and Friday, except without the softball. I've just been stressing a bit more than usual about living here and not finding anything on the roommate site and realizing it's been years now... sheeesh, and there are fewer people on the site than there has been in all the time I've been on it... sending messages to dozens of people and getting no replies is a kind of rejection, after all, and rejection feels bad.

So that's the reason for all this rambling, I feel bad. Rejected. unwanted. Not valued. Not appreciated. Alone.

And the mice r rats that moved into the attic aren't helping. lol lal sigh :)

So how are you? :)

See, as long as I'm caught up in this limbo life living like a refugee, you can avoid the serious stuff in your life and just feel bad for me.

Maybe that's not such a good thing after all (snark).

So I exhausted the roommate site. Maybe next I need to take the house search seriously.

Focus. :)

thanks for listening, I think I figure out what I should do.

Find a house for under $100,000.

Believe it is possible.

Do it.

Narf :)

love you :)

The Writer On Beauty and Happiness

I once wanted to see myself as a writer, as a person gifted with a skill to put words together to say profound and wondrous things, to amaze readers with thoughts and emotions that would open their minds and free them from the shackles of fears that oppress us from without and from outside in this culture. What I have found in sharing personal letters is that most people personalize the thoughts and feeling in the words to a point where they either fall in love or become defensive, accepting the concepts and therein the person who they do not really know or rejecting them before ever knowing them. This is an attempt to reach beyond that superficial and over-personalized communication, an attempt to find your mind open, objective, and even eager to understand the concepts, thoughts, feelings, and playfulness in these words without judging the writer, without leaping to any assumptions or conclusions that you know me. For how can anyone truly know another without spending time lookin...

To You, To Me, For You

Never give up on love, never give in to fear, always remember your passion for that is what makes you care and that is what you should share for that is why you are here So I'll just keep trying to encourage you to share this way and any other way I can think of, cuz I adopted you and this is what family does, reminds you to be yourself, define yourself, grow yourself, express yourself... Maybe I ask too much of you, but I believe you've got it in your to continue growing your confidence and ability to know and express yourself. I believe you could write a book one day and it would be full of the kind of insight and love that this world needs. Even more important, I believe you need to get it out, to ride through the catharsis that self-expression can be - into a new awareness of just how precious and few people like you are. I'll just keep trying to convince you and hope you believe me... There's always hope (I hope)... there's always hope because I h...

Pretend We Don't Know Why

You were the last one I chose to trust unconditionally. The last one I let in to the space inside of me. You never ventured deep. We did not share our sleep. Or our dreams or our schemes or whatever that means. Yet until someone else comes along to take your place in my heart. I write to you as if you are here because that is your part. In this live I live. Everything I give. Are our dreams ad our schemes of whatever that means... all the trust without lust because that is the unconditional... or bust. You may not know that life is pretend . We forget most of the truths we knew as children at play. You may not know that love never ends. The bond of trust is so far beyond lust that it perpetually mends. All we need to do is trust the truth to come to us in being real and sharing caring unconditionally. That is when we can know the experience of love that is beyond when fear prevents us from seeing... it is so freeing... the purest being... all as one with the energy of the infinite ...
