The struggles are still there but working to change my perspective. I don’t want to keep dragging my past into the future. I want my breakdowns to lead to breakthroughs and only sharing makes it happen. Bear with me as I need all the love and support I can get.

Between self-esteem issues that no guy would want to actually DATE me, and certainly not LOVE me, and deep, deep abandonment issues… I had no desire to form any kind of emotional attachment to anyone. As far as I was concerned, falling in love was for suckers and could only lead to heartbreak.

The reason I write this, though, is because I’ve always felt a strong, inescapable calling to live here and to do so purposefully. To live with meaning behind my existence, a reason behind my physical presence in the community. I’m not going to pretend to be a community leader, to be an active volunteer, or to be a community organizer. I’m nothing more than a person who gives a crap, a Mississippian who actually cares. I’m nothing more than somebody who shows up to concerts, who frequents restaurants, who spends his free time at the local watering holes chatting with others, who invites friends from out of town and drives them around to show off his beautiful, broken city.

She deserves a mom who isn’t measuring her self worth against that last roll of fat that will not budge off of her stomach (seriously, why the hell is that thing still sticking around), and who will bake (and eat) cookies with her on a cold winter’s day.

After my service, I realized that I want to give my kids the extra support and love that some kids lack at home when I am a teacher. I would like my classroom to be an open and welcoming place.

As I see the outside world and the people that do things that aren’t good and never have to struggle with anything, it sure makes you question WHY? Maybe it’s just ME. I’m thankful for everyday, don’t get me wrong. I want to be happy, I want to see the lesson, I want to know what it’s teaching me. I want ME back.

When I was down with fever, I always thought, “What if I died alone in an apartment?” My soul kept screaming that, “You would die after hearing those magical words, never lose hope.” I want to trust my heart even though it was sedated that night. I want to be someone’s forever in this world full of “Maybe.” Love as magical as it sounds, can be my cause of loneliness. Love as joyful as it sounds, might break my strength. Maybe someday, someone would save my drowning soul. Maybe I get to hear my share of “I love you.” At the end of my story, there will always be a “Maybe.”

I myself have come up with a hypothesis. I did this more or less by myself — and of course if you are familiar with my own ideas related to environment, habitat and so on, then you will take that remark about my own (singular) behavior with a grain of salt. 😉
Why do I want to underscore my own quasi “singularity” this way? Because I want to contrast my own behavior with the plurality of lovers — which is precisely my hypothesis: love is a plural behavior. All participants in a loving relationship realize that it is based on the mutual recognition that the “other(s)” in the relationship both derive satisfaction from appreciating the other(s), but also derive satisfaction from pleasing one another. This activates not only so-called “mirror neurons” but also feeds the narcissistic hunger for self-worth (and via a positive self-image also ultimately contributes towards a positive and a positively meaningful self-actualisation — i.e. in the context of others).
It’s just a hypothesis. If it were something more, then I might be more confident in following it up. But since I have no shortcomings about confidence in my own ideas, I will follow up as if it were something more.
Thus, therefore, … When someone says “I love you”, they take reciprocation as given. Whether or not this reciprocation actually exists needs to be determined. And perhaps such reciprocity needs to be developed over time. We do not normally move from a blank slate to full-on love at first sight. Such fantasies exist primarily because they seem extreme (i.e. fantastic) … almost like ideal states.
In real life love is only gradually proven.

I want to be a masterpiece. I want to be loved by someone who thinks all of time stands still when looking into my eyes. I’m tired of pouring what little I have left into people who don’t appreciate me. I am ready to be full of life and joy and laughter. I want peace. I want to see the light. I want to be everything to someone. I want to be special. I want someone to beg for me to stay instead of asking me to leave. I want someone to fight for me and cherish me. I want someone to treasure me and value me. To truly love and want me. I want to be whole and I don’t want to do it alone.
