Wanting Everything and Getting Nothing

Listening to: Silence
Feeling: perplexed
Easter was...I dunno, perfect. I stayed up the night before doing laundry and reading a romance novel about magicians who fall in love and watching Kids in the Hall. I kept thinking that I did not want to go to the family Easter dinner thing because everyone is weird around me and makes me uncomfortable. But I went and I was sitting at the table looking at people and just feeling whole inside and like that feeling is enough to live for and why do I care if they are uncomfortable around me? I cannot help it if I remind them of my mom. Period. I'm over it. So, I'm sitting there, feeling full of positive energy and my little brother just walks up to me and tells me he loves me out of the blue and then walks off. I can't explain how I felt. Like I was drowning in peace. And I'm thinking of going to nursing school after college (because what can you do with an English degree?). And I'm having ups and downs but I'm not staying down. No one can hold me down but me. My head is going to stay above water and its because I know I'm not alone. I'm no longer wanting everything and getting nothing. I'm just living today. And I realize that I've been a bit of a drag to read (and communicate with) lately. Sincere apologies all around.

im glad that you are feeling better and have a more positive outlook.
i didnt know you had a little brother!

people with blind faith always scare me, i cant imagine the thought process, i mean what goes through their heads?
i saw these people standing on the street corners the day before easter with signs saying how everyone was going to hell if they didnt go to church or something like that and i was just sad, i mean its just so backwards!
valley, you need to not ride your emotions so hard. understand that just recognizing a certain mood, either good or bad as an example, is just fine. when i get all hopped up on a high because im in a good mood i come crashing down because it is enevitable.

btw, i am not sure that i like the pink... :)
