debris

Well let's see. You can't be friends with everyone. You can't. And why would you want to be? There is not enough time in the world to be friends with EVERYONE. It's ridiculous. We all know this. But sometimes we think it seems rude for someone to want to live his life for himself. Why is that? My ex-friend Dimitrios was.. well, yeah, I've told people about him, because I've never ever ever met anyone like him ever. And I never will again, either. I can't describe him. Sometimes I just think he's crazy. But that's stupid. He's not. Anyway, over the summer he cut me out of his life. No longer wanted me to communicate with him, ever. It hurt me a lot. Sometimes I wonder if I just wasn't able to handle having no control over that. He used to tell me before that happened, that when he didn't like someone, he wouldn't pretend that he wanted to hang out with them or anything. If they bothered him to hang out, he would just sort of.. say no. Sure, he sounds like an asshole. And maybe it's a little extreme, yeah.. but part of me just wishes I had a little more of that in me. I think everyone is worth something. They are. But also.. he's right, I mean, he was right when he said you can't always waste time like that, as harsh as it sounds. You just can't. It's not good for you. And do you think it's good for them? To hang out with someone when you wish you were somewhere else? We've all done it. It's good to give people a chance, or just to be nice sometimes. But you can't live life like that--and it can't be healthy for the other person who is constantly being pitied by you or something. You can't be friends with anyone, you can't stay in touch with everyone forever. That's ok, too. A couple of the people who I consider to be my closest friends are the ones I don't even talk to regularly. And that's fine sometimes. I don't know.. I get so frustrated sometimes. When we try to be friends with everyone.. it just hurts people sometimes. And this all reminds me of the French goodbye--that is, simply leaving without saying goodbye. That is a French goodbye. I used to get upset if someone I cared about did that. But.. I've just thought about it more and I don't know. Whatever. Goodbyes aren't that important. Really, in the long run, who cares. I mean goodbyes are good, but.. you're not an asshole for leaving without saying goodbye.

God. and hormones. I think about this a lot. Is it because I'm a girl? I fucking hate how much my body messes with me. I feel like a little kid sometimes. I can't feel good about anything and I just get randomly upset. Sometimes. Ohh I get it, she's just pmsing, she'll be fine. Haha. Isn't that cool? We can just dismiss our feelings because it's pms, nothing to worry about. I don't know, I mean, why did I get so upset so much yesterday--when I'm not pmsing at all? Why does that happen? Can I just blame that on my body and hormones messing with me, too? So the reason i feel so angry and like there is nothing I want to do is just... because.. ohh, it's probably just hormones. So it's like it doesn't really matter. I should just ignore it. That's just so ridiculous. This is obviously a dilemma that can be thought about forever. I mean, emotions are scary and sometimes it sickens me that pills can change the way you live your day-to-day life. What is that? I guess it just makes me ask those questions like.. "What the fuck is real, anyway?"

  1. I find myself always asking that question. This whole post feels so.. real, to me. Really real. Like I know where you are and I know where I am and we're both someplace familiar.

    God, the PMS thing. When I am freaking out and upset or depressed, usually yeah, it's the entire week before my period. But you can't always blame hormones. The hardest part is defining that line.

    Also, regarding being friends with everyone, I tend to do that. I'll say it. Yeah, at the beginning of the year, I usually am just really friendly with everyone you know? Then the more I get to know people, the more I get to know how compatible I am with them, I guess I just flock to them. So then I have good friends and acquaintances too.

  2. I think as long as people know you care, it's okay not to see them all the time.
    Like us, for instance:
    I care about you very much even though we don't talk on a regular basis (which is almost silly since we live in the same building) but I know it'll be okay when we do hang out (though we should more!). At least I hope this is what our relationship is.

    As to your friend - I've heard about him before and I hope you know it's not you that's the problem. As a part of PMSing - I always feel like that.
    Perhaps it's perpetual PMSing. Ha. Wouldn't that be an easy way to sum up problems.

    <3 love .
