… “that we sat down and I announced that it was my belief that life was to be lived and not simply contemplated. I have a suspicion that prior to this experience we spend lots of time contemplating and I am confident that after this life there will be an unlimited amount of time for thoughtful reflection.” (From the Mystery Cookie blog.)
But we won’t! Everything we want to do is crammed within these eighty years of time we occupy!
Life has been so difficult to come to terms with lately. It is impossible to live in the moment and appreciate it. By the time you realize it, it’s gone. This moment could even last forever and I wouldn’t notice. Life is virtually impossible to enjoy, because you cannot truly appreciate a moment until it has gone by.
And this isn’t a result of some ultimate plan. There isn’t a reason for this happening. It just happens, and that is what frustrates me.
I feel so incredibly lonely, I have no clue why. I hang out with the same people everyday. It’s never anything new. I would love to see an old friend.
It’s also been pretty difficult to love myself, too. Most of the time, I think I’m awesome. But I had this dream the other night of somebody that I used to know, and decidedly- I haven’t forgiven myself for losing this person (it’s a friend, okay.) It’s so difficult to love yourself when you remember every event that has happened to you. Sure, nobody else cares, but you do. Forgiving other people is pretty easy, too, but when it comes to forgiving yourself, it’s really difficult. I can’t stand myself right now. But I wouldn’t like to be anybody else either, because everyone else is stupid.
I want to stop writing now. Even if I were to keep writing and find the words to say, it wouldn’t even be the whole truth. I hate admitting these kinds of things but darn it- I’m a teenage girl, not Nelson Mandela.
