In the same confusing breath, you pull away and draw me in...

Nov 22, 2005 02:31

I read these words in a book last month, and they impacted me so much that I couldn't breathe for a minute:

"Keep me up till five only because all your stars are out, and for no other reason."Which is to say that I no longer care about the good points of a person. You see those all the time. I care now about the faults of everyone around me. ( Read more... )

I am really surprised by all of that. Especially that you have to struggle to stay close with God, cos you seem to have a better hold on it than pretty much anyone else (aside from Beth, cos y'all seem pretty equal there).
And I feel bad for cursing so much now. I will try not to do it to where you have to see it.

I like the things you've added, I'm pretty much the same way. And I still love you all the same.

Hi. I'm Derrik.
-I smile alot but I'm actually really bored with life and could care less if I was told I was about to die.

uproareast_ November 23 2005, 07:30:21 UTC

You are about to die.
Just kidding. Fooled you, I'm not a doctor.

I don't know if that is a fault, really... But I am pretty shocked by it. And it doesn't change what I think of you, other than make me hope you can do something to change feeling that way. As long as you don't end up on "COPS" or something. Cos you are too cool to have to coast through life being bored to the point of apathy.

Val, you are so brave. I'm too afraid to do this. To face all those things about myself and put them out there for everyone to see.I honestly feel that things like this take a lot of courage to do.

uproareast_ November 23 2005, 07:23:50 UTC

Its really not that hard. And after you do it, you feel really liberated. It takes courage at first, but then it almost becomes like a game with yourself. You should try it, even if you don't post it. Its nice because you realise in seeing other people's reactions that everyone has faults, and that can be really easy to overlook most of the time.

Thats true. I think I will do it and just keep the results to myself. I bet I will learn some things about myself.

uproareast_ January 12 2006, 22:12:33 UTC

I have no idea. I definitely added you.
Oh, shit, I know what it is! I forgot to put you in a filter! Sorry, I will fix that right now.
