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 :)

Still The Same

Every now and then I get a little bit lonely, but it's almost always by choice. Or forgetfulness. I wonder if you understand that. I don't know if anyone ever has. That, in and of itself, is lonely. I learned self-control as a survival skill before I knew how to define or describe what I was doing. Instinct saved me from so much, and eventually, I learned that everything I thought or felt was a choice. My choice. It isolated me so much from others, It still does. I did everything I could to try to forget this. I did everything I could to try to forget who I am, what I can do, and how it feels to be me. It didn't work. I did it for love. You are sometimes uncomfortable around me and I'm not sure if you know why. It is because I can feel everything and you can feel that and it scares you. It is your hypersensitivity. You don't know how to be comfortable with all you feel, especially because there are so many sad and painful feelings in this world and I feel ev...

all I want

I check my email, nothing meaningful is there I check my phone, no one really seems to care I check myself, sometimes I'm not even here and still I do everything I can just to share because all I want to do in life is share. I ask for too much, it drives people away sharing everything is not popular today I just want someone who is not afraid to play without hiding or asking me to pay I just want someone real who really wants to stay I try to understand why people are afraid to share so afraid to trust, to love, to let themselves be here I understand how people can use and abuse me when I care but I don't understand over empowering fear to me that is just wasting the little time we have here all I want to do in life is share This isn't just to you, E, this is me trying to express myself and understand who I am, what I want, and what is missing from my otherwise happy life. The superficial challenges and comforts and cleanliness and healthiness matter, but ...

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...
