The Vampires in your Closet
I have no idea why I chose this title, but it seemed very appropriate.
It’s no secret I’ve neglected this diary for the past 8 months or so. Why I keep it running is a mystery, but there’s something to be said for nostalgia, regardless.
I find I set myself up for failure so often. Or perhaps it’s not a set-up, but rather a delusion of grandeur. I know that too often I become afraid of failure and turn in my jersey. Is this better than failing? Probably not. Certainly not. In fact, it’s probably worse.
But what if you had a 50/50 shot at success? If you failed, though, you were left penniless and completely and utterly lost. If your 50/50 shot had the chance of ruining your life? What then? Is it worth that risk? I can’t decide. I’m thinking it might not be. Do you give a little now to get more later? Or do you give a lot now to hope you get even more?
And so the queen of ambiguity bids you adieu, perhaps for another 8 months, perhaps for a week.
Always,
Afton
and don’t get any silly notions in your head that this is about some kind of idealistic love. It’s not. It’s about my future plain and simple.
I think the question is ‘are you happy to live with nothing’ if the answers yes like it is for me, then yeah its worth a 50/50 gamble! if you are content, then maybe not. I used to drop in and read your diary, although i dont think i ever noted because im not as interlectually sound as you and im very hypocritical. its nice to see you about again.

Probably have to make little goals to accomplish so it doesn’t feel like a 50/50 chance.

some people risk it all on a lot less than 50/50 chances good to see you finally wrote an entry 😉

Yeah, I feel you. Do you ever feel like people are just waiting for you to mess up? I feel like that a majority of the time. Everyone expects greatness so they don’t feel we need their support- as if we never doubt ourselves and our path.

Hello… it’s ..vanity.. from that diary with all the poetry you used to note on. Maybe you don’t remember, but I remember, and I’ve missed your presence. I hope you’re doing well. I like what I’ve read of your discussions and what you’ve written lately. Please note me back! I would love your opinion on some of my later poetry 🙂 ~..vanity..
