I want to fall again...

Warning: This will become psychotic.

When I was a teenager, and it wasn't that long ago that I was one, I
asked God (who I thought then would pre-determine what would happen in
my life) him to send me a life full of possibilities and wonder and
love and challenges, all in my lifetime. I asked him to send me a life
of adventure, ups and downs, sideways and waysides. Basically, I asked
for everything.

I didn't really know what I asked for. But now upon reflection, I
think he gave me what I asked. I did not expect to get into a
relationship with one of my best friends. Ironically, all that wonder
and possibility I asked for is in fact in my head. I wonder all the
time. I play the "What if" game all the time. And if you asked me,
isn't this what I asked for, I would tell you, "HELL NO."

All this wonderment and curiousity makes me feel so unstable. Such
instability that I have no idea where I want to take my life. Where I
want to plant my roots and just grow. My g/f tells me all my
uncertainties makes me "flexible." Shit, if I could have it another
way, I might just want to dig a hole, jump in it and hide.

My uncertainty, insecurities, blah blah, it's driving me nuts. It
makes me want to ruin my life and what I have that I hold so dear and
just break it. I feel like I hold this life ball, which is made out of
glass and so pretty, up too high.

As it has been said many times before: Life is overrated. Indeed it is.

I don't know what I expected back then. I don't know why as a kid I
thought life would become so magical, colorful and ever-so-fulfilling
as I got older. And it hasn't been so, it feels drab. I feel drab. I
feel like it ain't going right. Now I feel like a little child who
didn't get her candy.

But seriously, tell me, as Jack Nicholson said in his movie, "Is this
as good as it gets??"

Well, don't answer that.

I know what you mean about the disillusionment- about expecting life to be this lush, exciting thing, and it turns out to be like eating matzah bread. I think we can really only appreciate things in our life once they are in the past...so we just have to BELIEVE that things are really good now...We'll only KNOW that they were good later. Does that make any sense at ALL? It made sense in my brain...
