Not worth bothering to read..

It’s another one of those boring, senseless entries, so don’t worry about reading it, since it’s so much the same ‘ol stuff.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

I babble, sometimes way more than I should. I say things at times that I wish I’d just keep my mouth shut, but they come spilling out at a rapid rate and it’s like watching a head-on collision that you know you can’t stop. The only problem is that with this, it’s self-induced.

I’m my own worst enemy, I know this, I always have been. I mess up just about every friendship I’ve ever had, the only one I haven’t, I think, is with M.

Even knowing this, there are times that I will say or do things that regardless of my best intentions, I manage to blow things out of proportion, and when scared, then it is almost a guarantee that the end of the friendship is near. And that’s not the other persons’ fault, it’s my own.

So why do I do this? Probably because I want to protect them, I can see nothing good about me being in someones’ life, I’d rather that people would surround themselves with wonderful people, those who are not damaged or scared or lost or frightened or lonely or just wrong.

I care too much to let someone allow me into their life, for too long. I only see that at some point, they will realize it too, and know that someday, they’ll have to cut the connection, when they feel it is safe to. It’s why I know I will be alone, because I won’t let anyone ruin their life by having me in it.

I’ve learned, for the most part, how to hide this part of myself, keep it far away, not subject others’ to it. I talk of things here that I would not often to those I am around in real life. I’m more apt to be somewhat aloof or cold, box myself tightly into a knot, allow only what is acceptable to show. The only problem with that is that there is not much that is, at this point in my life.

So if I care about someone, then I shall protect them, even if it makes me sad to walk away, because at least they won’t be burdened by my heart and mind and emotions. It is a measure of caring, when everything points that they grow weary and I can’t face the car wreck, I’ve seen the crash far too many times before. Everyone has their limits, watching others come to terms with them, and knowing it is my own fault, saddens me so deeply, I’ve learned how to hide so much, why can’t I seem to get it through my head to just stay quiet, for once, and not ruin friendships any longer?

First, your entries are neither senseless nor boring! This place is for you to write and leave some thoughts, some kind of thearpy may be (well, at least this is how it feels for me sometimes) so don’t worry. People who care about you will read it and forget about the others then. Reading this entry and the note you left me, things really seem a bit rough at the moment *hugs*

(cont) There is not much I can do from here, dear but just remember, you are not alone and I am there to listen and if I can be any kind of support, then here I am 🙂

I babble non stop. But there’s nothing wrong with that. Stop worrying about who is reading and how they feel about what you write and just write. Because screw everyone! 🙂 This diary is for YOU.

The very fact that these are YOUR thoughts give them value. You don’t need other people to tell you that you are a worthy person with valuable thoughts. Is it possible that by turning away friends, you are also (perhaps subconsiously) trying to protect yourself, as well? I say that because I used to do that, sometimes I still catch myself doing it. I was so afraid of what others would think…cont

…I lost sight of the fact that it’s only what I think of myself that truly matters in the long run. By protecting ourselves (or others, however you want to say it), we are depriving ourselves of what could be very prosperous (emotionally) relationships. Just my opinion, of course. =) Btw, even if I don’t note every entry, I DO read them ALL. *Her*

I think you’re scared. I think if you put your whole heart into your relationships and believed that you were worthy of receiving the same, that things would be really different. I think if you trusted yourself, and put just as much value on you as you do on everyone else, that other people would see you as what you truly are. Worhty and valuable. I think I should follow my own advice.

But what do I know?

Things change, dear. And this is one of them. You won’t scare me away because the things that would drive me from you are things I know you will never do. 🙂
