Darling, if you have a credit card you can buy happiness. People who say you can't buy happiness just want to make sure that there isn't a run on it at the happiness store.
And you're like the nine-millionth person to tell me- and yes, you were talking directly to me- about creative writing teachers wanting them to dredge up painful memories. Why do they do this? Shouldn't they be getting you to dredge up creative moments? Are all creative writing teachers Oprah addicts? What is this moroseness they all seem to want to promote?
In completely unrelated trivia- I would have sex with Linkin Park. The whole band. At once. Seriously. It's like my guilty bad band sex fantasy pleasure thing. Now if THAT doesn't gross you out of the blues ain't nothin' gonna!
I've yet to find the happiness store, but you know what? If I do, I'll be sure to give everyone directions.
I'm not sure about this creative writing class. The only thing I've been able to produce are Linkin Park worthy poems about foster care, drug abuse and rotten relationships. The last assigment we had was to write about our family dinner table. Who sits at a table anymore as a family? So, I changed the topic to "The family dinner table couch with a lame leg" and she told me that she didn't believe I didn't have at least ONE family dinner at the table

I hate to seem like the devil's advocate, but you CAN live without someone in your bed. It seems to me that you're hung up on finding "someone to love" and ignoring the people who already love you. Yeah, some friends have been fair-weather. You can have crappy friendships, like crappy relationships. But just because your bed is empty and no one holds you at night, doesn't mean that people don't love you and you can get just as much out of a long-term friend. No, it's not the same. But when you focus on the have-nots, you miss out on a lot of life.
I'm not in love and no one is in love with me. But I am loved. And so are you.
It's not just about that. It's like, I've got friends yes. I'm glad for those that I have. But every day, my mom goes further and further away from the person she was and I've got to hold her hand through the process.
I knew it was coming, but it doesn't make it any easier. And it makes me wish I had a partner in life to help me. Which I don't - and I certianly wouldn't expect it to happen any time soon. It's balls, that's all. I've lived without someone in my bed for a long time - I don't need it to feel complete. But it is nice now and again.
