I am stan

Sometimes I hate freedom.
It’s a burden.
Making decisions.
Being responsible for your actions…
Your behavior.

Sometimes I hate not having a choice in having a choice.


I’m still young and I’m still confused and it’s still killing me. Too slowly. Why am I like this? Why should I be like this? Why shouldn’t I? Why did I even choose to be like this? I can be different from what I am now, but should I? Would I? Will I? To what extent?

I actually already know some of the answers to some of these questions. I just don’t know what to do with them.


How do I put this knowledge and awareness to implementation and application and self improvement?


Should I even be beating myself up about these things right now? Just because something goes wrong and it was partly your fault… Does it make it a mistake? Does it recommend change.


I do embrace the… Uncertainty.


But it’s painful being alone somewhere so chaotic, interesting, breath-taking, intense, turbulent, and so beautiful you could cry or implode. I feel like a tourist abandoned by her favorite travel buddy and companion. We were both lost, but at least he was someone to bounce ideas to and fro.

And someone to hold when it got cold.

I wish I really couldn’t live without him. I don’t WANT to be capable
But I am. And it’s hard and difficult and heavy and sad HAVING TO LIVE this way. I can’t kill myself because it’d throw a lot of people off, like my family, the people I work with and deal with, the people who look up to me, my friends, and my family… That would be selfish. I’m okay most of the time, but you know what I mean when I say I’m okay. It doesn’t EVER mean that I’m happy.


All these bits and parts of me are going haywire right now. My circadian rhythm is totally off. Sometimes I sleep once every 2 days. Sometimes I sleep for 18 hours straight. But I NEVER fall asleep when the sky is dark. I’m working on music whenever I’m at home, because I haven’t bought art materials yet. And the notes and words keep coming and coming and coming.

I’ve been drinking.

I’m moodier than ever.

Like I said, I was the one who got hurt in the end, the causes of which were my own actions. And I can be all pseudo-schizophrenic and apologize to myself over and over again, but I really don’t think I’ll ever be able to forgive myself.


The day you told me you hated ignorance more than anything in the world, during a discussion on one of our moments to remember together (I think).

Can you blame people for not knowing; for not being taught?” I tried to challenge you.
I don’t like it when people refuse to learn and understand, even after they’re taught.” You corrected me.
For someone like you who’s in love with language and is very particular with semantics, wouldn’t there be a better word for that instead of ‘ignorance’? Maybe like… Bigotry?


Ignore?



Ignore. Which is a choice.

That cleared that up with me. Now that I remember the conversation. Ignorance is bliss in the way that people tend to ignore or reject (in one way or another) facts/logic/rationale to make themselves happy in ways logic and rationale can’t. They do it for gain, for indulgence, for peace, and for love. Not knowing can’t harm you in the same way being indifferent or rejecting the truth can’t harm you. In whatever situation, people have the choice to be happy.



But you knew that, didn’t you? So did I. It’s just nice to have it typed down.
*sits back, relaxes, and sips a cup of hot coffee*.



But I value knowledge and love, both… And I will never forsake either for the other. I’m no proverb, and I definitely am not going to attempt to make this sound poetic, but my personal substitute saying would have to be,

RETARDATION IS BLISS, OBLIVIOUSNESS IS FORGIVABLE, ABEYANCE IS SUSPENCE, DELIBERATE IGNORANCE IS FUCKED UP, ACCEPTANCE IS PEACE, KNOWLEDGE IS KEY, FAITH IS LUXURY, AND HOPE IS COURAGE.

Or some shit like that.


Don’t get me wrong, folks. When you abandon “reason” for love, it doesn’t make you a fool… But it does make you a go-getter; doing what you want to do despite the odds for something that’s more powerful than logic and unfathomable by science. You can argue about hormones and chemicals and nerves, and how they’re all behind emotion. Love is far more complex. You can be in love without a heartbeat out of place, without breaking a sweat, and without sexual instinct.


Hmmm. And we all know that love doesn’t always lead to benevolent bruhaha.
When you’re in love, you become

A civilian casuality
In a battlezone between
Logic and feeling
Whichever reigns supreme
Whichever side you choose
You might be rendered a fool
With your limbs apart bleeding


I also remember that you once asked me to define love. I took a moment to think it through, and I gave you what I had come up with. It impressed, overwhelmed, and pleased you, which made me feel really good because you’re hard to please sometimes.

Never seen anything so pure
So white.
So azure.
So pristine and so sinister.

but those are just remnants of some wonderful serene moments for me when we were together. its just feels good to take it back out off my mind one more time. though my eyes weren’t so sure about it. it just dropped a tear.

i’m about to go.

or


Finally, let him go. He needs his space. Time. Distance. To be away from me. Far far away, in order to be sane. To be okay.



And I understand. I was so confused at first, I wish he was kind enough to finally explain to me exactly why he had to do this… then it all made perfect sense. He also actually really doesn’t blame me. It’s just something that NEEDS to be done.



I don’t know what the future holds for either of us… If we will ever see each other EVER again or not… But it is over. I’m finally letting him go for his own sake. He hardly asked anything of me, and now that he wants me to leave him be… I need to give him this. ‘Tis the least I can do. There’s a lot more that was said, but I really can’t say it here. He’ll eventually be okay (and no, I’m not just saying that to make me feel better; he will get over me/it/this/himself/us). I wish the best for him.
