So here I am. 3:00 AM on a Saturday night, laying on my
friend's front lawn. Everyone is asleep. But not
me. I'm out here all by my lonesome. The grass
isn't wet, that's good. I bet if someone looked out
their window they'd think I'm crazy or dead. I
wouldn't care either way.
The sky is polluted with light. You can't see the stars
like you can in the country-side where I live. It's a
shame, really. The stars are romantic. Romance is a
shame.
It's hard to do things other than think. I mean, what
else can I really do? It's almost natural in this
setting. Listening to sad music. It's a little
chilly, but I'm comfortable in my hoodie. I can hear the
hum of the highway that's about 300 feet away.
Life is hard to describe right now. It's great but it
sucks at the same time. I thought I had my act together at
the beginning of the year. I was going to make my senior year
the best so far. Previously, I never thought about anything,
really. I did my work and played video games. But for
some reason that changed this year. Maybe I'm growing
up?
Politics, Romance, and other anonymous BS. That's all
that really goes through my mind nowadays. I really wish life
was a little more straight forward and simple sometimes. What
is the point of life though? It's pretty hard to say when
you're not religous. Sure, there's probably some
scientific explanation, but that won't suit me right now.
We don't live for reproduction. At least as far as
we know.
What IS my goal in life? I honestly can't make up my mind
anymore. I wanted to write progams and do tech stuff, but
that all seems bland to me now. Honestly I can say as of now
I live for romance. Which is silly because I'm a kid.
I turn 18 in less than a month. What do I know about
romance? I have no experience in that department. But I
call myself a true romantic. A martyr to love. And it
ain't easy.
It's noones fault really. Sure, we like to blame things
on others. It's easy, but it's kind of petty. I
suppose some things are caused by other people, but not my
problems. I've done a lot of thinking these past few
months. More than most people do in this amount of time.
I can say I've taught myself a lot. Maybe matured a
bit since I started exploring around with this stuff we call
love.
I guess I can say this:
Being lonely sucks. Don't get me wrong, I have some of
the most amazing friends on the face of the planet. But that
doesn't cut it. I want, I need someone
to hold me. Someone to listen to me. Someone to
understand my feelings, to run their hand through my hair and lay
in my arms.
Why? Just why?
