It seems as if your entries always put me in a place where I have to think about my choices and decisions. For the past year, for my entire life it seems, I have been living but not alive. I’m trying my best to break out of this pattern, but it’s so hard to do when it’s all I know.

I hope reading the rest of your entries gives me more insight.

Wow. To echo others, this was incredibly well-written. You are 100% right, of course. That indifference is the worst. But to actually go for it, to put yourself out there, now that’s scary. If you can do it, absolutely go for it. At least you know that then you’ll know. No regrets, no wondering “what if.”

Good luck.

Umm..Yeah. I may have said one or two of the above things. And in theory, that sounds good. But in practice I’m more like you’re saying. I’d rather be hurt than sit on the sidelines waiting for life to happen to me. You’re so right, Hope.
Beautiful.

Sometimes a post is just so good that I have nothing to contribute.

This is one of them.

When I feel that way I make the spiciest curry I can handle and feel the burn. Kind of reminds me that yes, actually you are still here, you are still alive.

So in a roundabout kind of way I can see your point. I did the same thing once myself (obsessed over a guy, told him i liked him, he wasn’t interested) and looking back it was purely to keep my mind occupied, to have something new to think about, to write poetry, to feel SOMETHING because I’d just emerged from a terrible depression.

Do it! We’ll all be here cheering you on. And my philosophy is always when in doubt, consider whether it’s good writing material. If it is, at least you’ll get SOMETHING out of it.

Sometimes you remind me so much of myself it’s freaky.

I say go for it, whatever “it” is. You never know what you may or may not have until you try.

Good luck!!

Well put my friend. I think it’s good that you have people who aren’t afraid to speak their minds, but at the end of the day- you are the one who lives with your choice. Do what feels right! Or said differently, do what you cannot live without doing.

you’re so brave… for willing to live without the “what ifs”…
