one more time

I'm afraid of myself
I'm terrified of the choices I'm making,
do they make me happy,
or am I slowly shooting myself in the foot,
like a slow motion replay
but I can't see, no matter how clear the image,
that I'm wrecking myself.
I could be so happy, I have been,
I can make myself be
but all I want is that feeling of security,
the feeling that I know I don't have to force it,
its real..
I was waiting for that this weekend, thats why it hurt so badly.
I was so on top of the world,
and I thought I was all that,
and now I am sitting here, fallen,....
I'm embaressed.
This doesn't fit together,
I'm all over,
this isn't me.
I'm strong, and I'm organized, and I know where I'm going
I always have a plan/Why don't I have a plan?
I'm running on empty, so tired..
I feel so empty, so alone
I know, deep down, that everyone wants to relate
but I keep telling myself,
no one can relate.
I'm afraid to let someone make me happy,
I dont know if its really happy,
I'm so afraid I'm making it up
and that
its not really there?
I'm so out of touch.

This is beautiful and I'd like to say I can relate, though I wouldn't want that to bother you. : )

Um, I wanted to say something about PLANS. Actually I've been meaning to write a blog about it-this woman I met in Argentina made this really insightful comment during a lesson I was observing about Americans and how they always feel they need to have plans and goals, and how they measure their lives in achievements and are always so focused on the next step that they can never enjoy the moment. She wondered why. I do too sometimes... it doesn't seem to make us happier, does it?

My point was to say that you ARE strong and organized and determined, so, in my humble opinion, you have no reason to be worried. I think sometimes, lack of plan is actually the best plan you could have. Plan to live and have fun and jump into opportunities.

I'm sure you will.

Also, I really want to see you! When can that happen?! I talked to your mom on the phone today because my parents forgot to fill out forms. I miss you!

Life's for livin' child, can't you see?
