I spent the better part of today with some really great friend's of mine. Around four 3:30, my friend Ryan drove up here and picked me up, and we hung out talking for quite a while. I really love spending time with him. He's one of the few male's i've met in my life who've got really great and sincere hearts. He's an amazing person, and I value him dearly. Some things I've got to think about tonight that he's reminded me, and got me thinking about, are remembering to take everything day by day. Living in the moment. That's something that used to be on my mind for quite some time, but then again, when those thoughts were in my head, I had quite a magic puch filled will hope, and now that hope has depleted significantly. I find my days to be bleak and lonely. Barren and painful. Alone. A lot of hope lost after falling in love, and feeling like that love wasn't fully reciprocated. HOPE!
I was walking arond The Block in Orange today, and this really awesome person was walking towards me. It was peculiar, I swore that I had met him before, as if I had known him, or perhaps we had spoken some time in the past, or maybe we went to the same place once. All smiles and happiness and joy, he walks up to me, beaming with happiness in his heart, and he hands me a little book. He tells me, "Did you know that Jesus loves you?" I responded, "No... I don't know about Jesus." He asks me, "Have you heard about Jesus?" I respond, "Yeah, I've heard about him." He asks, "What do you think about him?" I respond, "I don't know what to think," and I hand him back the book. All smiles and joy, he walks away and tells me, "Jesus loves you," and I give him a thumbs up, and I smile and tell him, "You look really happy man. Right on." I wanted to talk with him. I wanted to know what it was that's got him so full of life, so full of hope. His answer most likely wouldn't have satisfied me. I can't accept that the source of hope and joy and happiness is something OUTSIDE of myself. I need to find something within, but I WISH that I had talked with him. I sought him out a few minutes after that, but wasn't able to find him. That was me only so many months ago. A beacon of light and life. Of joy and happiness. Of hope and love. Now. Now I'm a barren wasteland of pain and loneliness. The energy gone. The energy to articulate myself powerfully gone. The energy and power to see the true nature of people and the universe gone. All gone. Not gone per se, but burried deep within.
I want to ressurect that. I want to bring back that power. That life! I lost hope, and without hope, there is nothing. Nothing but pain and loneliness. How I wish your hand to hold! How I wish, above this, your desire to hold MY hand. To be loved! My insecurities. I bask in my insecurities like one basks in a warm pool. Comfortably. Yes. I know my insecurities, and am not afraid of them, I know them well. I accept them. I feel like an insect. I feel like a puppy dog. Following the stranger. "Take me home with you. Love me. Care for me. LOVE ME!" Little puppy dog. No more! No more do I want to FOLLOW. No more DO I follow. I do not follow, but still the discomfort, the feelings of BEING a puppy dog linger and fester within me. Within my boiling cauldron of insecurities. HOLD ME GODDAMIT! LOVE ME! CARE FOR ME! WANT ME! But... but either you do not, I do not know that you do, you don't completely... I do not know. *sigh*
