Ridin Solo

As of late the horrors of my life have come to a boiling point. A shit ton has happened since my last post and I thought I should fill anyone who might actually read this, in on what’s going down in the life of C. Well, for starters, I lost my job at Pump It Up: The Inflatable Party Zone over some stupid bitch who can’t take a joke L

This could not have come at a more inopportune time, I had just planned to be one of those people who throws themselves into their work in order to escape from everything that bothers them, but now, I have nothing. My friends barely ever want to hang out with me, if at all and to top it all off now I can add yet another completely unrequited love to my list of heartaches.

Yes, I know, you all would have thought I’d learned my lesson after the whole Andy debacle that I barely survived. But I really truly thought that this time would be different and that everything would work out, but of course, I was dead wrong. I told him everything, I told him exactly how I feel and he felt absolutely nothing. I can understand him not liking me back; I mean he has a very charmed life in my opinion. But to just feel . . . nothing . . . I don’t understand it.

Because at least with Andy I knew he cared at least a little bit because of how angry he got over it, but with this I have not a clue in the world as to how he’s feeling about all this. I am so afraid he’s bottling it all up and that he’s going to resent me just like Andy did and I will lose yet another friend but I just can’t have that happen.

Why have I been cursed? Cursed to fall in love with those who are closest to me and those that I have the most to lose from. True love means risking it all, putting your whole self on the line and then having the courage to make that final leap into the abyss where there may not be any solid ground to catch you. But lately, more often than not, it seems that all I do is plunge into this abyss, and it’s true, NOTHING is there to pull me back up and I just keep spiraling deeper and deeper into a depression I may never come out of.

My only escape these days is music. It is the one time that I can truly forget everything else and make believe that my problems don’t exist, oh how I wish they didn’t exist. The screwiest thing though, is that the boy who causes me so much pain is also the one who can make it all go away. How does anybody deal with that? Is there even a prior situation in the world of love that I can compare this too? The man who’s killing me slowly with indifference is also the one slowly raising me out of the pit that I’ve been stuck in for 6 long years.

Consequently, I come to this conclusion, that there is nothing healthy about any part of my life. This whole situation is a shambles and I don’t know what to do. I’m being lifted into a place of light that I haven’t seen in years while at the same time, somewhere deep in my core, I am dying because that is the place where I know that my dreams can never come true. I will be alone forever just as the higher powers meant it to be. I am not meant to know what real requited love feels like. I will live forever in this hell that is made all the worse by the constant glimpses of heaven that it offers only if I go deeper into its depths. So really, what’s the point anymore?

Until Next Time.


XOXO

Heartbreak Hotel/Show Me What I'm Looking For


Being always overavid, I demand from those I love a love equal to mine, which, being balanced people, they cannot supply.- Sylvia Ashton-Warner

For as long as I can remember this quote has basically summed up my life. I make so-called "friends" but our relationship is always deeply unbalanced. The love and caring I feel for the people who I let in close to my life is always exponentially greater than anything they feel for me, and this is how it always will be.

After 18 years of friendships that inevitably fizzle out and turn to nothing but a vague memory of happiness I have resigned myself to the fact that I will never find what I'm looking for. But what am I looking for exactly you might ask? Well, I will tell you. This is what I'm looking for in not only a friend, but also a significant other:

someone who . . .

- doesn't mind that I love to drive
- understands my incurable road rage
- likes that I take the long way to get places
- knows that I do that because I just want to spend more time with him
- wants to spend as much time with me as I do with him (aka a lot!)
- knows me inside and out and still loves me
- wants me to know everything about him
- I can trust
- trusts me
- I can have a huge fight with and then half an hour later we won't even remember why we fought
- texts me first
- sends me messages just to say he thought of me
- is thoughtful
- loves kids as much as I do
- isn't afraid to cry in front of me
- likes to try new things
- doesn't mind that I have slight TV obsession
- understands that I'm trying to fix my life
- can't imagine the world without me just like I can't imagine the world without him
- even when we're not together is thinking of me constantly
- the minute we part wants to be with me again

After all, "A friend is one who knows us, but loves us anyway." - Fr. Jerome Cummings

But as I've said, I have accepted my fate. These traits will be impossible to find because I simply cannot be loved. I've searched and searched, but my efforts will never come to fruition. I will forever be the boy who people keep around for a laugh until they get bored with him.

I used to be okay with this, but lately all of my best friends have paired off and no matter who I hang out with, I'm a third wheel. This feeling sucks, I have to watch these incredibly happy people snog, touch, laugh, nibble, cuddle, and all the other things I'll never get to do and it just . . . hurts. It is an unimaginable pain that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Lucky I'm a good actor eh? No one even notices anything is wrong and I am determined that they don't. I want these friends in my life so I guess I can deal with this pain, push it to the back of my mind and blog about it on here when it wells up inside so that I'm about to cry. It's not like I have anyone who I could talk to about this that would understand and who isn't a part of the situation.

For now, I will keep going, never looking back. I will find away to stop this pain. Love is overrated. The Fates chose to leave me lonely, and that's how I will stay. Who needs love? I sure as hell don't!

Until next time.
