�2006 Candor Communications


2004-05-10 - 6:47 p.m.

discovery, or one of them


I just had a glimmer, almost a shimmer... a glimmer, for those of you wondering, is a sliver of a revelation, a glint of epiphany, a moment of potentially profound thought that inspires a smile mostly because it does not require much more exploration at the moment... a shimmer, on the other hand, would have some more tentative possibilties and be scary-exciting, kind of like will the roller coaster car fly off the track this time? or like a crack in the wall between understanding everything and not (with the shimmer being the light that shines through to the not side, where we are)... anyway, what was this about anyway?...

communication...

ok, so this is what I realized... I am a wimp... that is, I am super sensitive... I am also super addictive... I mean, I have a tendency to become addicted to things (as opposed to my attractiveness being addictive, which is not what I meant)... I also have a loathing of rejection... and my self-esteem is at the lowest ebb it has ever been... and my courage as well is crapping the bottom of a barrel... and I am lazy, tired, old, unambitious, unfocused, ambivalent, apathetic, depressed, and easily distracted... and I intellectualize my way out of feeling and therein truly appreciating, or more importantly, investing myself in things more often than not... this sucks...

if I write it's not that bad thought next, then I may be doing exactly what I just wrote I do, or perhaps I am distracting myself from the actual discovery I made that titled this entry and brought me here to type when I was not intending to and have been sitting here in the big green chair for at least ninety minutes forced to listen to tapes of conversations Precious and her friends had on her weekend trip to where she used to live a few years ago that she went on this past weekend cuz she was listening to it loud in the living room and it woke me... she's got her phone plugged into my charger, the lamp on over my chair because Rasputin took my other lamp into his room cuz he doesn't have one, and she's sitting at the desktop computer listening to her tapes... that is, she was until just a moment ago when her mom called so now I am listening to her conversation with her mom... and this probably has nothing to do with whatever it was I came here to write about...

it's not that bad though...

ahem... what I realized is I am burnt out... specifically about communicating with people... even more about trusting people, counting on people, depending on people to be there, to be consistent, to care and be my friend... I may have an unrealistic definition and therein unfair expectations for the word and being I would call friend... I expect honesty, loyalty, sensitivity, and attention to detail... more than people seem to be able to or want to or care to do... I am way too sensitive for this world...

starry starry night...

the point?... I think the point is that I continuously browse diaryland just as I continuous browse through life, smiling and leaving very sincerely and hopefully meaningful little notes for people, communications intended to inspire positivity and mean something good to the person receiving the communication (and anyone else around)... and I don't check email or notes or comments or as often as I would like to not just cuz I usually do not have time (which is true) and not just cuz I have so many distractions in my space so often (like Precious now wants to tell me all about her weekend since she is hyper excited cuz she just ordered another pizza and I think she might be a bit embarrassed cuz she was skipping through her tape, maybe to censor a bit, and the line "I gave him my cherry" slipped out... of course they might have been talking about ice cream sundaes, and here I am getting distracted by fifteen year old cherries, see what I mean?), but also because I want more attention than I get, that is, I want attention all the time, I want everything to be responded to, I want someone (or do I want lots of someones cuz I am afraid of trusting any individual someone?) to hang on my every word, be totally devoted to me... ok, I'd settle for daily communications, however I am not ready to invest myself in returning the commitment...

that's a switch... all through this life it was me rushing headlong into sharings... I was always the one responding fastest and most and waiting for others to catch up... I was always the one more trusting, more giving, more open... and now I am still just as open, I think (am I fooling myself?... I don't think so... I mean, what could I possibly not be exposing in all my rambles?)... the difference is I do not let individual lines of communication develop and continue with anyone... even when someone does show interest in continuing the communication on a more intimate, personal, one-on-one basis (which is not as often as you might think), I find reasons to continue flitting around as I've been doing for a few years instead of settling into a real trust with a single individual... of course this is justified in my mind (and questioned right here and now) by voices telling me my instinct says this or that person is not the right one, not the one I want to trust to be the one to count on and depend on for everything... and then I wonder if anyone should be given such power over anyone... and then I wonder if I ever did (I think so) and if I did, why I stopped (duh, I was stripped of everything more than once, used, abused, betrayed, dismayed, and discarded to the streets, dragged through horrible tortures, left for dead, and just generally treated rather badly, but we know all that already)... but to stop permanently?...

I live to love and be loved...

still, this was and is the reason I do whatever I have to do to stay alive in this world... it would be so much easier to give up and just give up...

the pizza just arrived...
