Growing Out Of My Emotions

I find it very strange how people often talk about how they miss someone so passionately. Maybe I'm one of these keep calm and carry on wannabe war wives, but honestly I don't feel it. I can't say I have since I was in my mid teens. With that in mind, i wonder if I've grown out of my emotions? I don't miss the intensity, (well I'm not sure I remember what missing is, that's my point) but I'm starting to think that being sensible and rational is very dull. I look back at throwing tantrums and I wish I still cared that much. Perhaps that's what it is, with age we give up on being emotional, unless something incredibly serious crops up. Maybe my opinion of serious has altered? Or maybe I just don't have the time.

Words Spoken

Words breathe fire like the flame from a pheonix as it rises from the ashes. Spitting hope and faith for a better future as it ascends from the darkness and lights up your mind.

People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing.

The Choice

I learned the hard way that I cannot always count on others to respect my feelings, even if I respect theirs. Being a good person doesn’t guarantee that others will be good people, too.

I'm not always as confident as I seem ... there are many nights and many days when all I want is to be held. I love being held. Always. Sometimes I don't want to talk about what is bothering me ...

I'm tired of being sad. I'm tired of crying. I'm tired of feeling empty inside. I'm tired of feeling worthless. I'm tired of feeling stuck. I'm tired of feeling crazy. I'm tired of being alone.

Let It Be

It's hard to accept, but you can't change the past. You can't go back and manipulate things to the way you wanted them to happen. Because life'd be meaningless and boring and just not worth living.

I'm so the same, although I love my partner very much, I can't feel missing him, I do miss him, but it doesn't eat me up, it's like I would have seen him yesterday(it's actually 3 months now)...o.O

I think other stuff just becomes more important, and all the lovey dovey stuff just doesn't get a look in.
