Teach me to love again

As lame as it is, I found a Drake-quote, or perhaps it is someone else who has said these words. I only know that I could relate to this quote, and that it in a way explains me and who I have become. I am not bitter or angry anymore. I just wish to meet a guy sooner than later, who can reassure me that I do not have to be afraid of loving him. 

"She may come across as hard to get, but that's because she's been through a few things, seen a few things, been there and done that. She's cold... Yes, but only because she once cared about someone who failed to care about her. She's built a fortress to protect her heart from further damage. You told her that you're different but she won't believe it until you prove it. Words don't mean a thing, actions are everything."

Desperate

Nobody sees, nobody knows

We are a secret, can't be exposed

That's how it is, that's how it goes

Far from the others

I made my first move and it was a mistake. I find myself so incredibly desperate to feel joy. Right now I only exist without really living. I smile when I am with friends, but I am not happy with my life. I feel like a failure because of school, my friends are slipping away and I screw it up with everyone else. 

I wish I remembered what it felt like to be in love. My feelings have literally just shut down, and it feels so wrong because I imagined that this period in life would contain more young love and happiness. How did I get it wrong? What am I supposed to do to change it? 

Not good enough

Three years ago I met someone who changed my life, but not in a good way. I am so, so mad at him for fooling me, using me. It has had a huge impact on my life, I do not trust people anymore. He is the reason for my low self confidence when it comes to people, especially guys. 

He really swept me off my feet. He was so irresistibly charming, I could not avoid falling for him. Bad news are that he only used me to make his ex jealous, and I fell for it. I am mad at myself for letting myself be fooled like that, I should not have been so naive. The consequences are something I have to live with all these years later. I am scarred and I hate that he got to do that to me. 

I never let myself develop any feelings for any guys because I am afraid of getting hurt, but mostly, I never think I am good enough. I always compare myself to the former girlfriend or someone else who like him, and I always end up with the conclusion that I do not have what all those other girls have to offer. I am not good enough, not funny enough, not interesting enough. Why would anyone choose me? 

Just my luck

For the first time in what seems like forever, I have met someone that I really could have feelings for. Of course, for me it is not that easy. This wonderful guy, with this enthusiastic personality is the one person I cannot go after. You see, there is this group of friends I have startet to hang out with, and in this group, there is another guy who really likes me. Unfortunately I have to dramatise everything in this situation by liking his friend. Also, the thing about the guy I like is that he just broke up with his girlfriend who was also a part of the group, so of course, it would be a disaster if I told anyone there who I really like. 


Oh, it sounds so stupid and childish, but to me it is really unfair because I would love to finally grow feelings for someone. I am a realistic person and I guess by the time it is "accepted" for him to move on, he has probably found back to his girlfriend or found someone else. I hate hurting people, and I do not think I could bear telling the guy who likes me, that he is not the one my feelings are drawn to. 

Light's out

I wish there was an answer to why I always have to lose the friends that mean the most to me. This happens repeatedly and so it is not strange that I do not let people close to me. It is just very sad. Not entirely sure what to do. I feel so helpless, and sometimes quite alone. Eventually my closest friend will be my cat, probably. 

Nostalgia

I heard this song on the radio today, and it reminded me of a night six years ago when I was listening to it on my ipod. I just enjoy the memories. 

I chose this video because I thought it was better than the original one...

True friendship is forever

Last weekend I hung out with one of my oldest friends. We have not been seeing too much of each other the last couple of years, we sort of slipped apart. 

However, every time we are together it never seems like we were apart. The conversations are flowing and we always have something to talk about. Anyways, we hung out this weekend and I got to meet her boyfriend and the "gang" for the first time. I was so shocked and relieved that she has turned out that good, with great friends. I have been a little anxious about my old gang because two of them are really struggling, but the third one that I am talking about is truly happy I think. 

I was just so amazed by the relaxed, happy and light mood around them. I could not be happier for her, and I really look forward to be spending more time with her and her friends. Also I think it is nice for her as well to have me back in her life a little, we used to be so close. 

Insight

I had had a little too much to drink, it led to a major melt down. I cannot remember last time I cried like that. In a way it brought with it something positive like showing me who is really there for me when I need it the most. I appreciate it. Those feelings had been kept in for quite a while, it really was a relief to feel that empty. 

I am not sure of what I might have shared that night, it bothers me in a way, it is just all so confusing. The bottom point, however, is that I really do not feel safe. It feels like I am on my own, it does not have to be a bad thing. I am independent and live my life as I like. It may be time to grow up and act like an adult for now. 

Actually I changed my style into something more sophisticated and it feels good, we will just have to see how long it lasts. I do not want to be the old me anymore. 

Let's recall

What I love the most about this blog is to look back at my older posts. Also I love most of the images I have chosen to visualise feelings. To me, some of them are breathtaking, that may be because I am the only one who truly understand the reasons for choosing that exact picture. 

Trust

I just realised a couple days ago that I have big trust issues. To be honest I do not trust anyone, and actually I do not know why. There are no good reasons for me to be such a cynical person, but I always think there is a hidden agenda to everyone's actions. If people are being nice to me, I automatically wonder why. Very peculiar. 


"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you can appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

Vanilla

I have realised that I am actually terrified of getting close to boys, and too afraid to give of myself. I cannot imagine why this is, but that is how it is. However, I will try to change that.


It might be that no man has the key to my heart, it is me myself who has it. 

The friend zone

I used to have a great friend. He was someone I loved to be with. We met at a small music festival, both of us were working as volunteers, and became really good friends. I loved the time he lived here, and we became really close during his time as Russ. He was the kind of guy who would do anything for me, anything. I was so sad when he moved to Oslo for a year, but we planned visits and I promised I would come check out his life in Oslo. Unfortunately it never happened.

The last couple of months he became closer and started holding me and hugging me in a different way. I knew then that he wanted us to be more than just friends. Last time he was home, we were out clubbing and I became friends with one of his friends. We danced and held hands, which was too much for my friend. He almost went home without saying good bye. I felt so bad. 


The next time we were out he told me how he felt, and that he knew I did not feel the same way about him. He then said it would be better if we did not talk for a while. It broke my heart a little, I really did not want to loose him. We have not talked since, I want to give him the time he needs, and hope he will talk to me someday. 


I kind of regret dancing with his friend, it would be nice to postpone his honest moment a bit. On the other hand, it would be extremely selfish of me to keep going. He deserves the best. I really miss him. 
And his friend, I have hung out with him a little, but he is not worth it at all. Not that I think stop hanging out with him will get my friend back, because it will not, but at least he will not have to hear about me being with his friend.

Shhh...

Sometimes I think about who I will end up with. That makes me wonder who that person is and why we ended up together. I am very quiet and do not always converse too well, because I do not know what to talk about without making it weird. I feel like I am a bit boring to be with, communication is very important in a relationship. 

Actually, I just do not think I fit together with anyone. I mean, if someone was in a relationship with me, we would spend a lot of time in silence I think. Unless the other person is very talkative, but then again, why would a very talkative person want to be with someone as quiet as me?

Great song by Gotye

The weak moment

And it took so long just to feel alright

remember how to put back the light in my eyes

I wish I had missed the first time that we kissed

cause you broke all your promises

and now you're back

you don't get to get me back

And who do you think you are

running 'round leaving scars

collecting your jar of hearts

and tearing love apart

you're gonna catch  a cold

from the ice inside your soul

so don't come back for me

don't come back at all

- Jar of hearts by Christina Perri

Please disappear

I hate to see you, meet you and talk to you. I wish I did not have to see you everywhere, and be reminded every time. Just go away, please let me forget. 

Let it fall, my heart

and as it fell, you rose to claim it

it was dark and I was over

until you kissed my lips and you saved me

My hands, they're strong

but my knees were far too weak

to stand in your arms

without falling to your feet

But there's a side to you that I never knew, never knew

all the things you'd say they were never true, never true

and the games you play, you would always win, always win

But I set fire to the rain

watched it pour as I touched your face

let it burn while I cry

'Cause I heard it screaming out your name, your name

- Set fire to the rain by Adele

Happy I met you, darling

I have met a person whom I am feeling kind of addicted to, or at least addicted to see. Someone I always want to be with. I feel like I have to talk to this person every day. Although I am getting addicted to this person, I suspect the person is a bit cunning, and has everybody wrapped around the finger. Well as much as it sucks, I will play the game, and pretend to be costly, or just stubborn. I will not be one of the other people to be taken advantage of, or just too nice to say no. That is what I think will make us special.

Apparently I cannot count on you...

The vulnerable me is back, kind of a relief. However, the hurting part I am not so fond of. The point is that there is one person I cannot let go, and to that person I mean nothing. I think I give up now, it is probably better to forget what we had. 

Alone in a crowd

This night's a perfect shade of
dark blue, dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room

when I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning down

Dark blue
Have you ever been alone in a crowded room
well I'm here with you
I said the world could be burning
now there's nothing but dark blue

And a new one just begun

The year 2011 was ended with turkey at my friend Roy's place, before we went to Eirik to meet the crew. After a while we went to town to watch the fireworks, but unfortunately it started raining. When the new year started, we went back to Roy. It was a great night! I really enjoy staying at his place, I feel very comfortable over there. The next day we just hung out in the living room, eating all this crappy food. Also, the new year started out with new friends, new opportunities and new hopes. 

My New Years resolutions have not really been thought through, therefore I will update this post along the way. This is what I got to start with:

- Go to the gym at least twice a week

- Make an effort with my friends, try harder

- Move out

- Find a guy worth falling for

- Improve my grades and care more about school

- Be on time, try not to be late

Merry Christmas

Christmas Eve was wonderful with a delicious meal and a lot of presents. The day started out with three hazelnuts for Cinderella, I watch it every year, and it is what gives me Christmas spirit. 


We had porridge, reindeer steak, flan, fruit and nuts, and at last we had cake and Christmas cookies. I was so full I had to lay down. I am so thankful for being so privileged, it is important to remind yourself to be thankful. 

I also got some great presents; from my sister and her husband, grandma and grandpa and my auntie and uncle, I got beer glasses and champagne glasses from Ritzenhoff. 

Beer glasses

Now I have ten beer glasses and five champagne glasses. Also I got some make-up, gift cards and money. I do not really care that much about the presents though. The most fun part is giving away great presents, but this year I did not do that as good either. I am more fond of personal gifts with meaning, instead of just something materialistic. 

You can count on me now

My dear. I am afraid I have been too tough on my friend, and I have not been there when she needed me. I understand now that it may not be only me who has been hurting the last couple of months. We slipped away from each other, but now I see that it has gone too far. I miss my friend, and maybe she misses me too?

She has changed since we stopped hanging out. She cries now, everything insignificant makes her cry. One year ago, she was the toughest person I knew, she seemed invincible. She hated clichés, pop music and cheesy love songs. Now she is the complete opposite.

She has many other good friends, and I can see she really loves them. I have decided to do my best to be a better friend, however. I do not know if she opens up to the others, which may be the reason she is more vulnerable now. But maybe if I am a better friend to her, she will open up to me, and she will feel better? I really miss the way we used to be. Although she may took our friendship for granted, and figured we would never drift apart, she was right to think that I would come running back. I mean, someone has to try, because as much as I had hoped, she has not tried too much. Anyway, I have always been the soft one in our friendship. At least I thought so.

Breathe now

The incident I was talking about in the last post, made me think that I might had ruined a friendship. Fortunately, everything seems to be fine. I am so relieved, and I might have exaggerated a bit. Everything seemed to solve itself, for now. I hope everything will remain fine between us. I would hate to loose such a great friend.

:)

Coconuts

It has been a while since I have written, but now I feel like I have something to write. This weekend was awful. 

Some things happened which I am not at all proud of, and that I cannot talk to many people about. I just crossed a line, both mine and my friends'. When I realised what I had done, there was no way I could stop thinking about it. That was all that went through my mind for two days. I could not think about anything else, I could not eat and I could not concentrate at school. It was horrible, and it all made me want to cry so badly. However, not a single tear was shed. I felt so crushed and nervous and disappointed, but the tears stayed back. Even now I feel like shedding a tear, but I cannot! 


"There is an ancient tribal proverb I once heard in India. It says that before we can see properly, we must first shed our tears to clear the way."
                                                                                                                - Libba Bray
Anything personal will not make me cry, because I have turned into a coconut or something. Hard as a rock on the outside, but as soon as you crack me, the tears will start pouring. I am just wondering what will be so heartbreaking that it will make me cry, because so far it has only been used sticks in attempt to crack me. 


On the other hand, I now only cry happy tears. Very often I feel like I experience so overwhelming and wonderful things that makes me want to cry, and sometimes I do. This is very new to me, I never used to cry happy tears before.


"Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning to do afterwards."

Although it might sound good, I am not sure it is. I know I lock up what bothers me, and keep it in, and there is no way for it to let out. The happy tears are just side effects of that. Confused feelings escaping.  

Tunnels

Yesterday I told a rather depressed friend of mine to start setting goals in life, and really make an effort to achieve them. And I started wondering which goals I should put for myself? Of course finishing school is one of them, but what else? I guess studying abroad has always been a goal of mine. Other than that, I would like to do something meaningful, for example getting a sponsor child, but I think I have to turn eighteen first. 


The next destination is France which I am going to with my French class, in March. And next summer, my friends and I are going to Croatia or maybe Portugal. That will be quite interesting because we are a quite large group of friends going together, which might lead to some drama. 

Also I have to learn how to surf

Home alone!

Being home alone gets quite boring after a while. I have been home alone for a week now, and I think it is too lonely and quiet. I have had friends over, but in the evening, I feel very lonely. I would like some company! It makes me think of when I will get an apartment, no way that I am getting one by myself, I am definitely having a room-mate. Just think about having to make a decent dinner every day for one person, that would be such a waste. I would end up with noodles and pizza! 

Please, let's chill

Cake!

My favourite cakes are carrot cake, oreo cake and the brownies at Godt Brød's bakery with triple chocolate and walnuts. Just sayin.

I do not know what I can do to change that, because I would like it to change. I would like to love someone, and to be loved back. I feel like I am just only me. Always. I feel like I am alone, I have good friends, but I do not have a best friend who thinks of me as the best friend as well. That is gone now. I miss feeling special and like the only one you desire to be with. emostupidshitass.

See the world

My London visit was a total success, the weather was good, my friends were nice and the things to do were countless. I think we got to do almost all the stuff we planned, but there were so much more to do!

The Kooks concert was the highlight of the trip, they exceeded our expectations. I was standing on the front row by the fence, making eye-contact with Luke, I know he sang to me all the time. The sad part is that it is all over now, so quickly. We have been so excited for this event for such a long time, and suddenly it is over. Just like that. I think I have to make new plans to keep me motivated. Or else the days will be too boring. 

London tomorrow

Tomorrow. London. Five days. Concert. Or well the last one I am not so sure about any more. Sadly we were told the vocalist in The Kooks is sick, which means the gig might be cancelled. Not the luckiest kid in the world, no. Anyhow, the trip will be great, gig or not. We are free.

The second chance is the last chance

Before it's gone

Taj Mahal, India

I have got a new life mission, I have to visit the Taj Mahal within two-five years, because I read that it will collapse! I cannot live without seeing the Taj Mahal before it crashes. Also I have to go to California within maybe seven years, because I heard it will be crushed by an earthquake or something. The Maldives are also on my list, beautiful and peaceful. 

Surfing in California

Relief

I noticed the moon was in the sky today, almost a full moon. It makes me feel calm when it is there, I do not know why the moon makes such an impression on me, I love it.

STFU

It sucks and it is awkward, people are actually reading this shit, which limits the honesty in my posts. I would love to write about what ever was on my mind, like I used to, but now I feel like I cannot utter my inner-closest feelings. However, in a way I still do, I guess the last post was a bit over. Well, appreciate the honesty you get. 

I love going entirely, completely, absolutely commando

Few things feel as good as sleeping naked. The pure, natural comfort, and the sheets will warm up faster. The only thing that is concerning is if something would happen, which would lead to a frantic hurry toward the dresser. The same goes for walking naked around the house, but it just gives you a certain pleasure. You learn to be comfortable with your body, which is important. 

                                          "The naked truth is
                                        always better than the
                                           best-dressed lie."

Why do I even care?

                                         "People want you to be happy.

                                      Don't keep serving them your pain!

                                         If you could untie your wings

                                        and free your soul of jealousy,

                                         you and everyone around you

                                            would fly up like doves."

                                                                                       -Rumi

Why was I full of expectations, and why did I get disappointed? It should not have meant anything to me, I do not know why it does. If I was a friend of mine, I would just say forget about it and do not think about it. I just cannot control it, I do think about it. And what difference would it make if he did want me?

Get over it.

Snow on the roof

Is it wrong to be kissing random people at parties? Say it is just kissing or making out, and it does not go any further, is it a bad idea? I think to me it does not really matter because I am young, and I do not want to set any strict limits to myself. I know when it is going too far, but making out? I ask this because I have friends and, well other people that think it is wrong, so is it really? I guess I have already given my opinion, but is it slutty to make out with different people at different parties, or is it just the youth having fun? All I think I have left to say is that if you want to do it and think it is fun, then do it. Snow on the roof.



I mean, what are the advantages of being single, well you can do the stuff you cannot do when you are in a relationship. That is why many people enjoy being single. 


I guess I will just do what suits me, and live my life. The others can live their careful, boring lives.

And by the way, this blog sucks

I want someone I think is special to make me feel special

Why is it that it always has to be the wrong guys that like me? Why is it that I cannot like them back, and have to turn them down. Suddenly everything is awkward and different. Fucked up. I hope next time the feelings will be mutual, preferably both will find each other special.

I don't think you've ever needed anything

So I was told today that I do not need anything in that meaning that I do not need anyone. Is this the impression people have of me? That I think I am better off alone? This came from a friend who used to like me. When we hung out and I was struggling with something, I always told him I could do it. I did not need his help, but that is what people want to do for each other right? Help. I guess I make the impression that I think I can do everything myself, but the truth is that everybody need some help sometimes. And certainly everybody needs somebody. 

I've been roaming around, I was looking down at all I see

Painted faces fill the places I can't reach

You know that I could use somebody

You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you and all you know and how you speak

Countless lovers under cover of the street

You know that I could use somebody

You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you

I was also told that girls tend to over think stuff. 

It's not what you did wrong that matters, it's what you do to make up for it

Is it really that simple?  

Away or gone?

It is the end of summer which means back to school. This year something is different, people are leaving to study somewhere else. This makes me realize that I am actually growing up and the time for studying and moving away is approaching quickly. I was supposed to leave as well. It is strange, I keep wondering if I will ever see them again or is this it? I did not even get to say goodbye to some of them.

I love you

It is so difficult to tell somebody that you love them, or that you really care. Honesty can be so hard to utter. I hardly ever tell my parents that I love them, and when I do I feel like a weirdo because they are not used to such honesty. 


However, some people abuse the word love. 

"Those three words, are said too much, but not enough" 

I love you grandpa, feel better soon. 

Can it get any worse?

This month was supposed to be fun and unforgettable, and it really turned out to be unforgettable, in the worst way ever. It all happened during my two weeks in the states. The first bad news was that my grandpa is very ill, and he is in a hospital in Thailand. He is too sick to come home, and therefore he and my grandma had to stay longer. This really affected my dad and I could see that he was very upset. Three of his siblings went to Thailand to see grandpa, and I can see that my dad really wanted to go too. In the middle of that, my dad also got the news that his beloved boat was stolen. Later he heard that my brother found it, but unfortunately it was a little wrecked.


A day before we were going home, we got the worst news. There had been a bomb in Oslo city which exploded and killed seven people. This was so shocking because that kind of thing just do not happen in Norway. Later that day we heard about something else that had happened back home, and it was terrifying. A man dressed as a cop had entered an island full of AUF youths on summer camp. They were from the age of 11 to 25. The fake cop killed 76 youths. Many of them were hiding, escaping and begging for their lives, but he fired away. The stories about this massacre have been on the screens without any end to it. It is so touching and horrible to read the stories of the victims, how they experienced it. It tears me up inside.




Like a cherry on top of everything, we lost all our three flights home because we read the wrong time of departure from Miami. We had to order new tickets which came on 40 000 altogether for three people.

A long time ago, there was this boy...

When I was a little kid I had so many crushes and "boyfriends" even though we did not really spend time together, therefore they do not really count. 


When I was in the 7th grade, I had my first real relationship. It lasted  for about a month, not because we stopped liking each other, but his father denied us to keep seeing each other. Two years went by and my heart still belonged to him, and with some help from my friend, we got back in touch.  We stayed together for seven months, but being the person who loves the other more, is not simple. I was so in love, but I did not feel the same affection back, so I crawled back into my shell... The day we broke up hurt so much, and I still remember it all. 

A year after I met another guy, who I did not know for long at all. He was really ongoing and eventually I gave in, stopped resisting, and let him kiss me. During the two weeks I knew him, feelings grew unnaturally fast and I really liked him a lot. Suddenly one day he told me he loved me, and I replied that it was not true. He fell silent and later on that night he sent me a message on facebook, telling me that we had to stop seeing each other. The day after he told me he loved his ex and that he had only been using me to make her jealous. It hurt so incredibly bad, and it still does. I just felt so used and hurt because I had given so much of myself and my feelings. 


Six months went by before I had the gut to try again. I gave a friend of me, who had had a crush on me for a while, a chance. At New Years Eve I kissed him and it felt good, but the next days were awkward as hell. He told me he was afraid to say or do anything stupid, which made it all very difficult. About a month later he told me he still had feelings for me, but it did not change anything because he was drunk and he still was not tough enough to sweep me off my feet. 

A couple months later I met someone again, but that too ended as fast as it started. He was too pushy and clingy, and not really my type. I do not really know why we were together, I never really liked him, but I just wanted to give it a chance. The thought of never giving anything a try went out of hand and I think I did a small mistake there. ;-)


This is the story of my tragic love life so far....

Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

Siesta time!

Just woke up from my siesta, which I wish was an inevitable part of the day.I like to think of myself as a night person, so a midday siesta is just exceptionally. After a power nap like today, I have a whole new battery of energy for the rest of the day!

"With great power...comes great need to take a nap. Wake me up later."

Letting go

It has been a while. Things have happened, but I have not taken the time to write about it. I am back in my shell, and I have stopped missing my best friend. Which obviously means that something is not as it should. However, I have so many other friends to rely on. Even though I do not think this is the end of our friendship, I definitely do not think it will be the same again. I feel like I am moving forward, but I am not sure, I may just be fooling myself. 

I have friends to rely on whom I love

Well, finally it is summer vacation. I am not really noticing the hot weather yet, but the sloppy, empty days have already started. I will be working a lot though, but only for 2-3 weeks and I will be off to Florida!

Tourists in town!

Summer is approaching, and the cruise ships are coming in. It is really exciting because I get to speak English, especially at work.





Today a friend of mine and I went to town to hang with the tourists, in hope to talk to someone. We actually joined this small group on a short tour, trying to blend in. Unfortunately the cruise ship left early. In replacement, we pretended to be tourists and started talking English to each other. It was fun!

Indifference

I just want to leave this place, go somewhere new and get an opportunity to do something different. I have always wanted to take my second year in the states, but unfortunately that opportunity is gone now. Honestly I do not think there has been any time I have wished more to go than now. Things are starting to fall apart, and even though it is giving up, I just want to forget about it. I just want to give up when I see that I am the only one fighting, when I am the only one who spends time and powers trying to fix it. I question myself if it is worth it, is it worth fighting for someone if the other person do not give a damn?


While losing my friend, I lose myself because it makes me so sad. For a while now I have felt this sadness and it changes me. I may seem happy and I may be laughing, but still the ache is there underneath it all. It is strange to look back a year and see the difference. My smile used to be so sincere.


At school life is easier though, because it takes my mind off of things. The nights are tougher. At night I have time to think and it just hurt so bad to think about it. It takes real effort to hold back my tears, and sometimes they are just too wild to be tamed.


Where were you when I needed you?

17th of May !

Today is Norway's national day, and I have been out celebrating the whole day. Some people walk in the streets while singing or playing in school bands, others stand on the line watching and cheering. I walked in "barnetoget" with my school. Afterwards my brother, my niece and I watched "russetoget". Russ is the celebration of graduation, which lasts about a month and 17th of May is the very last day as russ.

Then I went to my grandmother and grandfather and ate a whole lot before I went to town again and watched "folketoget". After that we went out at a Chinese restaurant, I ate fried banana with ice cream, before we went to my friend's house and just chilled for a while before we went home. It was a quite long day. 


I love this day more and more for every year that passes by. I love this country, my town, more and more in a way I never thought I would feel for this place. I am becoming a real patriot although I still love to travel and want to move abroad soon, but I know I will always end up here. 

Hey I'm Pluto

I have been told that I am not the person people really notice. For an instance, at gatherings where I meet new people, I am never the one people remember afterwards. I am just there. Well there is no point in complaining, it will not change anything, this is just the way I am. Not really shy or anything, just quiet. Still, it kind of sucks. 

Don't sail away without me

My self-esteem is decreasing and I am afraid I am about to crawl back into my shell. I take distance from everyone and I barely talk to people at the time. Sometimes I am overwhelmed with sadness, but then it goes away for a while and then I do not think about anything of significance. I feel so boring and lifeless, I wonder where my mind and soul went... 

I don't care!

Something else that, I do not know, bothers me or delights me is that I do not think too much about my problems. I know they are there, but I do not bother to try to figure them out (except from when I am writing them down here). They can solve themselves with the time. That is more chill. 

Heads&Hearts

Okay. I am contradicting myself a bit. I cannot do whatever I want to, because I care too much about other peoples' feelings, to just think of myself and what I want. Sure, I do not care about my feelings to get hurt, but I really do not want to be the person who hurts someone else. 


Also I have figured out something new about myself. I think it is almost impossible for me to like someone or develop feelings for someone if I know they already have feelings for me. What I mean is that if I do not know whether I like them or not, it will not go any further because I am too scared I will change my mind and hurt the other person. I feel trapped, but I guess I just have to take my chances and go for it if I want to. 













I cannot follow my heads' choice, if my heart thinks it is wrong.
