Create A Rewarding Life. FAITH KNOWS!
Woke up this morning after passing out on the uncomfortable couch last night, somehow stayed there all night. I awake from that post and wonder how I made it through the night. Somehow, on top of that, I managed to sleep through the whole night, waking at around 9 a.m. ish. Made some coffee, which somehow, brewed all over the counter top, turned out the pot wasn't all the way on the burner, so I cleaned that up, and noticed that the coffee leak shorted the coffee maker clock out, so that the numbers just kept rolling. So, another clock in my house has bitten the dust. That would be three in the last couple weeks. Go figure that after that, the coffee tasted pretty good, the last few pots have been too strong, this one turned out just right.
The weather feels cooler today, slept last night without a fan. You can feel Fall trying to creep into the air.
It is rather disheartening, I like Fall and all that, just, why does summer always seem to want to go so fast?
I have big plans today, I know that I am going to the laundromat, trying to do some power washing, sheets, towels, some clothes that have been buried in my closet for a while, it is time to begin getting these things done.
I have the tv going, and I realize that I am not missing much of anything. Had some weird dreams last night, which I will directly attribute to the 3 Beers I had before bed, the ones that knocked me out. Feeling pretty blue today, maybe not as bad as yesterday, I don't even know why I am letting this stuff bother me anymore, It has taken up years of my life, and it is just tiring. What am I talking about, you may wonder. All I can say is that this pertains directly to an interpersonal relationship that I have been dragging through for the last 7 years. Up and down, in and out, long weary...The love is gone, or has it just changed. I don't know. He stiffed me yesterday, just blew me off, never heard from him, and I can't clarify the way that I feel about that. It has happened before, not much lately, but, it has happened. It used to drive me nuts, I would wonder where he was, who he was with, what he was doing, and it would wreck me.
Again last night, I started to feel these things, not as intensely, but, they still got under my skin.
And when it happened I find myself wondering...why? I don't have the same kind of attraction to him anymore. The years of him treating me like crap added up and took their toll, to the point where I didn't really feel an intimate pull towards him, except for occasionally.
He has stated his love and apologies repeatedly, and I know that I should forgive, and I am trying...It's like he took the best part of me, and I still do not feel whole, and it is a real hindrance. Not to mention that there were once a few good friends in my life, and through the drama of this relationship they fell away, so when he is absent, I have no other outlets.
I have reconnected with a few familiar faces through Face book, however,I am not physically hanging out with any of these people yet. So, it seems that when I plan on seeing him, and then I don't, I feel off, a bit lost, and I'm not sure why, because what would we do together that is so spectacular?
I guess that I have just gotten used to having him around, knowing that he is in my life, some days he really is like my best friend, other days he has a very short attention span, and I can't carry on a decent conversation with him to save my life. I don't know, I wish I did, I wish I had some clarity. This is something that likely, should have ended years ago, and I am trying to come to terms with the idea of releasing him from my life entirely. Maybe, I am afraid that If I let him go, he will find someone else and be the great boyfriend that he could not be to me, that he has been trying to be to me, and I have not been receptive. I know it's wrong, why can't I just let go? Why does this still matter to me, even though maybe it does not matter in the same way?
Am I scared to start over, to make new friends, find a new love and make my life better? Is it really that daunting? What happened to me?
I love him, and I hate him, I miss him, and I wish he were here... I just don't know, and that is what I have to figure out, that is what I have to come to terms with in the here and now. Love him or leave him, no more victim.
