and some would be happy,
i suppose,
and at least i'm not starving in africa
or some other cliche to make myself feel better

it's 10:30 on christmas night.
10:46, i guess.
i'm rambling,
but that's okay, i think,
because you know what my rambling is like by now.

truth be known,
i miss having someone to ramble at,
and you're good at listening
or good at pretending,
i don't know which,
but here i am with this addressed to you.

yeah.
i miss that realness
of just saying what you think
and i think we should get together and do that
but it's hard, you know.

i'm growing up too quick.
i realized the other day that
i don't know if i'm doing this too fast
or what i should be doing,
but i'm almost twenty-one.
last big milestone until i'm thirty five
and can run for president.

grrr.
now i really am rambling,
and adding in little animal noises too.
and you say
"no, i love to get psycho letters from girls i ... whatever"

okay, end of ramble
(beginning of new ramble?)
the whole point was that i miss talking to you. see, i had good intentions.
and that's it really.
so merry christmas/happy c/hanukah/kwanza/ramadan/seasonal peace celebration

love,
me

oddly enough, I know how that feels. To love somebody so much, and not know if they are listening and loving or just pretending... it's a hard place to be, but just keep your head up and fight the battle. Very interesting read, I could really relate with this one.

Good one here!




I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them!

hmmm...I always thought that I was crazy for doing the things I do

I know just how you feel with this one...your writing is very real and down-to-earth.
Wonderful!


Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence.
