And we're back...in the car again.
I need to get back to this. I need to fall back in love with writing, and this is the only way I know how. I miss being able to put it all down and let it out of my already too full brain, which brings me to my point. I have always considered myself a smart woman and a pretty fair partner in terms of relationships. I get my fair share, but I ( Read more... ) -
The Best Part of Being Single
It's so easy to forget about being single for a little while. When I start thinking about my job and the jobs that I really want or moving out and starting my life, I completely forget about not having another person to share that with. And that's kind of nice. I know it's been said before, and probably in much more eloquent words, but being ( Read more... ) -
And that's where I am now.
I'm a little sick of this shit. And by a little, I mean really and by this shit I mean everything. I clearly came out of college full of idealism and rainbows and my head right up my ass. I really thought I was instantly going to be successful. Not super successful, of course, but sort of successful at least. I thought I'd get a job in the ( Read more... ) -
Ruminations from a Suburban Couch
I want to be crazy with someone. I would like to go completely insane with someone. Instead of always being crazy at someone, I would like to enjoy my insanity in the presence of someone who enjoys it, even revels in it. I am finally ready to meet that person. And I think I'm satisfied enough with myself to the point that I can admit that I'm ( Read more... ) -
The Virtue of Selfishness
There are things about my life that you don't need to know anymore. There are happinesses that will forever be mine alone because you don't deserve to be a part of them. I know what this means. I am well aware that I am falling out of love. That part sucks, but the rest of it? The rest of it is amazing. I can look back, even just a month, and ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Do you remember when you first told me you loved me, when we first whispered it to each other in that van before we were brave enough to say it in front of other people, when we weren't even sure we were brave enough to say it to each other? Yeah, me too. -
Things You Have Ruined for Me (and most of the men that will follow you)
I've been thinking a lot lately about all of the things that I can't seem to do without thinking of you, things that often times piss me off. I've decided that these are things that I will not be able to do anymore, and I've decided to keep an open ended list ( Read more... ) -
Out of the Woodwork
You know what feels great? Being wanted. Wanna know what feels even better? Being wanted for more than sex. I am honestly in awe of the number of people that have contacted me recently, and I was especially surprised to find that none (alright, probably only one) wanted to just have sex and leave it at that. And the reason this makes me feel ( Read more... ) -
Put a ring on it
Do you know why I wanted that ring so bad? Because I wanted to know that you were in it enough to commit for a lifetime. But I'm starting to realize that I wouldn't have been satisfied with that for long. I lost that faith some time ago, and it would have taken more than some shiny rock to get that back. So I'm sorry, because I didn't know that ( Read more... ) -
Cover Letter
I miss you and your love more than you can imagine. There is nothing I can do to stop that. But more than you and the love and the incredible experiences we had together, I miss knowing that there was someone else out there feeling the way I did. I want to know that you're miserable right now, that you're not out getting drunk and fucking stupid ( Read more... )
