"If you're always looking for reasons not to be with somebody
then you'll only find them. But I guess at some point,
maybe you should let go and give your heart what it deserves."
- One Tree Hill
So, I suppose I should say this is my last post here. I decided to start a new one because I've put so much in here. One final post to explain everything, or, almost.
So, my sister canceled her engagement with Dave. She said he didn't have ambitions and all this other stuff. It was a long discussion we had at Creative Sparks. Although, I think that I made a good point (even though I was painting a bowl while my sister was writing a lot down.) She wrote a Pro and Cons list of being with Dave. After she read me off the list here's about the way it went:
"So, is that it?" (Me)
"...He likes cats... I hate cats." (Liz)
"...You're seriously going to say 'I'm not marrying him because he likes cats'?! Nope. You're not allowed to write that down." (Me)
"Haha fine." (Liz)
"...I have a pro that you forgot." (Me)
"What's that?" (Liz)
"...You didn't write down that you love him. One of the most important pros, the one that should be the easiest to come up with, you forgot. You thought of 'he hates cats' before 'I love him.'" (Me)
"...oh... Well... what do you think it means?" (Liz)
"I dunno Liz. What do you think it means?" (Me)
"What do I do now?"(Liz)
"Well.... you take your list of pros and cons... and you think about the fact that you're going to let your future depend on a piece of paper...no a paper towel with a bunch of words on it." (Me)
"You're right... it's not really fair to Dave... is it?" (Liz)
"You need to do what will make you happy Liz. That's what you do. That's what's important." (Me)
Later she said to me, "You know... you really are a writer at heart. You can tell from the things you say." I said maybe, I just read a lot of quotes and from that what I say turns out that way. Also, it doesn't hurt to be as hopeless as I am when it comes to matters of the heart. I have these silly ideas of romance, these ideas of true love and all that and I hold on to them for dear life, hoping that everybody has somebody, that's theres more to life than what I've seen. I'm constantly being made fun of about these things... when I say happiness is what's important in life. Paul still makes fun of me and basically says that the idea that being happy in life is what's important, is idiotic. He thinks I'm really naive I believe, because I think that. Because I would rather be happy than be rich and miserable.
I don't want those things to dissapear. That's something I love about myself. My endless hope. My ideas about things. My hope that everything will always be alright in the end. The idea that love is out there and everybody is meant to find it and be happy. The idea that everyone should be happy. I don't want it to die. That's something I have that most people don't. Most people give up. Most people aren't looking for romance in life, or true love, they're just looking to get by. Looking to settle. I don't want to settle. If that makes me silly then so be it.
Lately I think that something's changed about Aaron. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it has. I'm going to keep trying to figure out what it might be though... I'll figure it out eventually.
So, I was talking to Sean the other day. He had been wondering if I wanted to hang out before he left for college, but I'd already left for my Dads. I told him we were going to hang out next time he was home. But, while we were talking he asked me what I had been up to, and I mentioned that I had hung out with Trav and I got a weird response... he asked me "Do you get the vibe sometimes that he likes you?" I was really caught off gaurd from that question. I said "Sometimes I guess... why?" He said he was just curious but, so far, from what I've gotten to know of Sean he doesn't really ask me random questions like that. Everytime he's said it was just because he was curious and he's acted the way he did when i asked why, like he was trying to make it off like he really was just curious, it's turned out my suspicions were correct. Although, I have no idea as to why he would ask me that. I can't simply ask him either, he wouldn't tell me. But, maybe I'm simply being silly.
Schools starting soon. I'm actually excited for it, although I'm going to go see my guidence counsler about switching english teachers. I hated Mrs. Tarantino. She was such a horirble teacher, she even almost kicked me out of class for some stupid reason. I do not want more problems this year and I'm going to do my best to get switched. I had a high 90 in her class but she was such a riducilous woman I cannot sit through a whole year of her class. I'll end up hating english.
So apparently I have to get homecoming and prom date approval from both Aaron and Travis. Great. I'm going to probobly end up going alone. I was talking to Travis about it and apparently, my options are very limited. Trav said he'd be okay with Issac, Shorty and Conor....yup. That was pretty much it. I'm going to keep who I'm going with a secret and hope neither of them find out haha :) (Although, I have a feeling they BOTH will.....)
So, Travis is leaving for Bard this weekend. We had a nice goodbye. We hung out all day and went shopping, played frisbee and attempted to untangle over 100ft of string (with very little success) and he said goodbye. We had a nice hug and I said "So I suppose you won't have any time to talk to me while you're away, you'll be so busy with college!" (He had told me his whole schedule, barely has any time even for sleeping and eating) and he said "I'll make time for you." and he gave me a smile before I turned to leave. I saw him the next morning as well, before I left because he had to give me back my wallet (I hope he finds my lost book as well) and he gave me another big goodbye hug and told me to have fun at my dads. I really like our relationship now. We're really close friends. I'm really happy about that.
I suppose there are so many other things I could write about in this entry but... maybe I'll leave them out. No need to be too long. I'm simply thinking about things and how they're changed and all that's happened since my first entry. It's crazy to think about it all. Well, I suppose my final words should be meaningfull, so I guess I'll quote somebody...
"Until they become concious they will never rebel...
and until after they have rebelled they cannot become concious."
"Oh foolish child, don't you know,
the broken heart will never mend and true loves story never ends."
