I am writing a public thankyou to jeff for hios comment on my call for help with guys. I know that people were recently very harsh with him (on my journal too), so I felt I needed to say that I think he is a very deep person. Right now, I am half crying, half laughing, cuz its been sucha weird day. Got a ton of shit at work, come home depressed an d lonely, and I see his comment, and wow. Plus, I've been listening to Run" by Snow patrol repeatedly, so that also affected me. I am taking things so seriously, I want everything to be perfect, but, that's only in fairy tales. So, as I sit here sipping my earl grey tea, I promise to myself to just enjoy dating. Why must I find "the one" right away? It seems like such an obvious answer to my problem, but I just did not see it through the walls of expectations I was surrounding myself with. Jeff gave me a much needed reality check, and I appreciate it to the one millionth power. Life is a journey. It's time I started walking the road.

anytime...

Glad I could help. I use the quote too much, but I truly believe John Lennon nailed it when he said, "Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."

Also, I don't sweat the "harsh" stuff on here too much, as I realize that everything is basically extreme for most teens. The heights of joy, the deep well of depair, no middle ground, etc. I'm pretty sorted out at this point, so I just smile and let it work itself out.
