So, a few days ago I met this girl. It was during my explore-time, this place is kind of big, too big for my taste.. more places to run though.
Y'know, this is what I like about my diary. I know there's no judging, no witty retorts, nothing to hold me back from being me. Nothing forcing me to act happy and cheerful. Nothing telling me to be what I'm not. No one telling me to smile, to feel happy, to be social. I sometimes wonder why I even bother trying to annoy people. Sure, I'm doing it for the negative attention, right? Anything for attention, right?
I wonder, sometimes, I really do. What if I'm just fooling myself by thinking I can make something of my life when I'm clearly just acting in a futile attempt to make it all worthwhile?
There a only a few things I can come up with that make me even remotely happy, or even forget to think, remember just how shitty my existence is. Music is one of those things. From time to time reading is. The thought of being happy is, but the more I think about what might make me happy the more I think about fucking it up.. my curse, my bane.
One of those things is a someone though, not a something. The girl I met a few days ago.. she makes me smile without me even wanting to smile. She.. somehow makes me both happy and sad.. I.. kind of know it won't last if it even happens, which I don't like thinking about because I'll just fuck it up..
And that is the part that saddens me. Sometimes you need to let go of what you love for your own good, or even the good of the other, but if I think about letting her go I just.. I just..
I don't even really know what she feels, what she thinks deep down. Not what we share, but what we don't share is what scares me. What if, y'know?
What if she feels the same about letting go out of the good of her heart?
What if she doesn't want to let go?
What if she eventually changes her mind.. ab.. abou..
No. That'd be something I couldn't take.
But that's just like me to cling on to the faintest glimpse of happiness.
It all started out as a joke, but she just.. has this.. way about her.. I knew what I felt clearly for the first time ever from the moment I saw her. Like the Carpathians say.
You have only one mate. Every day spent away from that person makes your emotions dull. Once you meet that person, you know it. The air gets sharper, sounds clearer, emotions more intense.
Or like the ancient Greeks once reasoned. That every person is born with 2 heads, 4 arms and 4 legs, but Zeus deemed them too powerful and split them in half, and that from that moment everyone is just waiting for their 'alter ego' - their other I - to make them complete again.
Yes. I think I like that second reasoning. It works, somehow.
So, this girl, Marnie. She like, didn't seem all that annoyed by me, which I have to admit, upset me quite a bit at first. But after some playing around [though she didn't experience it as playing] I felt that there was a reason for her not outright stomping out of the room, or telling me to stop. I felt there was a reason for her being patient. I knew there was a reason for me losing the urge to annoy her.
Now, I'm not saying that I love her. It's too soon for that.
But by god, I think I'm in love with the idea of her.
