My dad sent me this in an email that he found:
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that
wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will.
You will have your heart broken probably more than
once and it's harder every time.
You'll break hearts too, so remember how it
felt when yours was broken.
You'll fight with your best friend.
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did.
You'll cry because time is passing too fast,
and you'll eventually lose someone you love.
So take too many pictures, laugh too much,
and love like you've never been hurt
because every sixty seconds you spend upset
is a minute of happiness you'll never get back.
I just want to be happy again. I want people to do nice things for me because I always do nice things for others. Not many people return the favor and it hurts inside at times. Even more so when its someone very close to you. Today I will find out if I will entually have to move home after the summer or if I can continue to live in Greenville.
And this may help or hurt Joel and I's relationship. If he loves me he will stay with me even if I have to leave. I was going to continue to love him and date him if he went on that tour that would have lasted a yr. I would wait for him. I feel as though God wants me with him. Sometimes I wonder why becaus of all the fights we have been through but he wants us all to experience Love. And I am experiencing a True Love with Joel. I can only wish he is experiencing the same thing. Guys dont tell how they feel often and I wish they would. It would make things so much easier and more clear.
I love that boy. I do. If I am to be suspended from school... I would work full time to stay here with my friends and to be with him. He was fired from his job over the summer because of me and I recently found this out. Made me feel like shit... big time
But if I cant find a full time job or a cheaper place to live eventually I willllll have to move back to Hampstead/Wilmington. But I would try to be in Greenville/Washington every weekend or alternate weekends so maybe Joel would take the time to come see me like he used to.
It worked before... it can work again. You always find a way if Love is involved... real love. I think I am going to find a softball league somewhere and join or start taking piano/keyboard lessons. I need something to take my mind off of school and JOel. I do. I think about EVERYTHING too much and I dont get out and enjoy things. I want to enjoy my time with Joel everytime Im with him but sometimes it is hard when he has his mind on everything BUT me.
He is an amazing individual... he has a gift. He has a voice the world is meant to hear... I like to tell him that because I honestly believe it to be true. He has a true heart... and he isnt selfish. He is clueless and such at times... but no one is perfect.
Do I think he is perfect for me? Yes. I do.
Why? Its hard to explain.
-He makes my heart go crazy EVERY single time Im with him (in a good way).
-Ive yet to get tired of being around him
-He ties my shoes for me
-He makes me want to be a better person as a whole
-He listens to me and helps me through my problems
-He hold me when I am hurting inside and out
-He used to sacrifice things for me and do things for me
-He used to travel to see me.
-He sees something in me that Ive yet to find out from him
-He makes me smile so much
-He cares about me
-He used to say he loves me but he doesnt as much anymore... but he says it once in a while..... *sigh*
-He dances with me
-He fills that part of me that was missing
-I feel a connection with him that I have never felt before
-He is goofy and I love that
-He is sometimes serious and sometimes shows his emotion
-He used to write me sweet things... at least I have a memory of them now.
I sometimes wonder if I am right for him. He hasnt really said. Id like to know. Id like to know if 'the juice is worth the squeeze'
Id like to know if I left... would he miss me and stay with me.
Id like to know why he loves me.
Id like to know a lot of things....
I suppose only time will tell. You cant force someone to open up to u... it just has to happen
But I love that boy so much. I am IN LOVE with him. And that is something I will carry with me forever. My first TRUE love. Thats something that lasts and is never forgotten. I thank God for him in my life. I only hope he thanks God I am in his.
-Pray for me I can stay in Greenville and Pray that I have to will to want to stay in Greenville. If I lose him... I may be gone. If I lose at school... I may be gone. If I lose at friendships... I may be gone.
I dont want to leave. I want Joel. I want School. I want Friends.
I WANT TO BE HAPPY AND FREE.
And I need Joel to be with me and catch me when I fall.
Would You Catch Me? Because I dont know who would.
This makes me think of my dream last night. I was forced to have to jump into this water. Mark and some other people had already jumped. Mark told me not to jump close to these pipes to my right or they may explode. He told me to jump toward him and the others and he would catch me. I asked where Joel was... and they pointed off to another direction and I couldnt see him. I needed him. I jumped and landed in water by Mark and the others... but something grabbed me and flung me back into the air.... my body was falling toward the pipes and i saw joel... just watching... while the others swam to help me. I missed the pipes and I went under water and I saw everyone floating above me... I was falling/sinking. I tried my harded to swim to the surface. Underwater I saw these beautiful creatures... and it seemed so peaceful. My breath was shortening... And I wanted to stay down there for somereason... but I looked up and I saw Joel. I couldnt stay down underwater. I swam with all my might and reached surface. I was pulled out of the water onto this cement stage of some sort. It wasnt Joel that pulled me out though. I was balled up in a blanket crying. I looked around and I saw Joel.... he was talking with his friends as I was being taken care of by the others that were in the water... Joel comes over and asks if Im ok. I ask why he didnt try to help me... and all he said was 'i dont know... i was too busy. im sorry'
I woke up and it was 5 am... I txt messaged Joel about my Nightmare. I woke up in a sweat. Ive never been so scared from a dream. Joel doesnt know about the dream yet. Im sure he will though.
I have a lot to reflect on. What does this dream mean. I dont know. I just dont.
