O Queso....
Last night, while I was lying in bed trying to go to sleep, I somehow got on a thought train that led to some self-realization (apparently midnight is a good time to think about yourself). Anyway, what I realized was this: I am dysfunctional when it comes to feeling sad. I figured it was because I just don’t want to feel that way and that it’s not in my usual character to be like that, and also that I didn’t want people to know that I got sad. I know I’m freaking retarded and that makes no sense at all, but that’s how it was or is or whatever. Then I realized that instead of just being sad, I got frustrated, angry, not at anyone or anything, but at myself, just blaming myself for everything, and beating myself up about the littlest of things. I’m guessing that’s probably not exactly healthy for the psyche.
Anyway, I think I’m done with all that.
Something that Ben said today triggered another train of thought, this one merely speculative, not realizing. He said something along the lines of, “Be the prize.” And that my problem was I’m “too nice”. At the time I thought I understood all of it, but I’m not so sure. He’s probably right, but I don’t know why. Oh by the way it’s probably helpful if I clue you in on the fact that I’m talking about establishing a relationship, which I pretty much fail at in epic proportions. So I thought about it and yeah I’m really nice to the people I like, but honestly not that much more than I am to others. Or am I? I’m not exactly the most objective person when it comes to me; maybe everyone else is seeing something different than me. Maybe that is the reason why I get stuck in the “friend zone” cliché. I’m really nice so they think of me as a friend and nothing more? I guess that could be a possibility. I really have no idea.
It’s kind of nice to have homework again. I know right!?! Crazy! But I like having things to do, to keep me more focused. It’s also nice to have classes, well just one I guess, that I’m actually worried about failing. Adv. Bio…. I haven’t had biology since the seveth grade or something, I’m beyond rusty. So when Dr. Woodward says review cellular structure, to me it means go learn that stuff again. It’s interesting, I’m actually entirely dependent on myself to learn this stuff, which in some ways is really cool, but I’m also worried about not getting all the information I need.
So, I guess that’s the update on Life as Hair. If you’re reading this then you must be really really really bored, but have a good day regardless.
