Oct. 6th, 2002 02:02 amI'm so tired, but I don't want to go to bed.
I'm so scared, and what terrifies me most is, I don't know what I'm scared of. I'll just get really depressed reading, or just staring at the creek that runs behind our house. I get so scared that I'm going to be alone for the rest of the year. So scared. I try to paint a pretty picture to my family and friends, but the truth is, I'm disappearing over here. That or I'm growing so much stronger, so much bolder, in colors almost. I don't know which scares me most.
It's hard starting over. It seem to be a whole new life over here, and nothing quite the same. It isn't even close. And I feel out of place, like a puzzle piece in the wrong box, or a young star trying to find it's place among the other stars. Trying to be part of a bigger picture with out intruding and screwing up any constellations. And it'll seem fine on the surface, and my mask has no cracks, but then I come home, and sit in front of my computer and I read about other people doing the things I should be doing. Or I think about things that freak me more than anything about my new life.
My old life.
It scares me. That I'm still the same person, yet so totally different. I wish I weren't a teenager. Everything's so confusing and the world seems to tilt side ways, skewering my view. And I can't see where I'm heading, or which is the way back, and I'm scared. So terrified. I want...I don't know what i want. I want Julie to love me back, I want Josh and Sam to end up together, I want someone to save me from the hole I'm digging myself into. I want someone to recognize me. I want someone to know me. I want someone to see me. I want someone to hear me.
Why did I think I could do this? I know I'm terrible with new people. I can't do this I'm too scared. I'm terrified.
I want out.
