i gave all i could, but it wasn't good enough

i'm writing this now 
i'm writing this now 
only because, honestly 
i have no idea what to write as a follow up to the last post.


i find myself lying awake, just before i go to sleep,
listening to "the saddest song in the world",
and all i can do is think about what i wrote,
how i feel and all i can seem to think about.


i don't know what it is, 
but lately i just can't live in the "now"
it's borderline crippling.


don't get me wrong;
i love my new job,
i love my friends,
i love people i work with kind of, mostly,
and i know that things could be a lot worse,

but i DESPISE "it could be worse"
by that logic, anything can sound good,
you have all these people telling you just think,
if that truck had merged a half a second earlier you could be dead,
well, if it had merged a half a second later i could be living in my studio apartment,
working at my dream job in san francisco.


so please no "it could be worse"
it is how it is.

i guess i just need some time to adjust;
this january made it a full year,
and it's taking a whole lot longer than i bargained for.

on the bright side,
now i can finally blog about something,
without worrying about a weird segway.

i'm gonna fix my mind with a final destination.

about a week ago i recognized a few things within myself,

that i think i've known for a while,

but have never admitted,

i've found i can't - don't explain myself well,

who i am, what i want, what i'm feeling, et-cetera.


i keep it all inside,

and when i finally do talk,

i say far too much.



i expect people to know things,

bits of information about me, 

random truths, illustrating the person i've become,

things that i have no business expecting anyone to know.




i find myself waiting for the person who will pose questions no one considered asking.
