Life changes a lot.

I'm not going to sit here and pretend that I've listened...
So, for once I actually have news. Well, first off, no longer single. For those who want to know who my new beau is, he's
Atlas21.
Moving right along, school. Well, last semester it seems I made the Dean's list, yay. As of now, I have about one month before I have to go back to school. Like most years involving school, I have mixed feelings. On one hand, I learned that I don't enjoy being away from home as much as I thought I would, but at the same time, it's liberating. Or at least as liberating as it can be with me normally stuck on campus because I can't drive and don't have a car. I also am excited to see my professors again because the more I meet of our Criminal Justice department, the more I think I made the right choice when I chose my major. As for my friends on campus, I really haven't been so good about keeping in touch because I don't like using Facebook, I prefer using the phone so I can at least talk to them directly. It's going to be interesting to see what happened to the friend of mine that discovered he was bi last year. He's honestly got mixed feelings about who he is, but I hope that if nothing else I can help him work through his troubles.
Onto another point of order that's been eating away at me for a while. It seems that no matter where I go, or who I'm with lately, I somehow end up feeling uncomfortable or unwanted. I understand that while some who have actually been around me don't think that I was made to feel unwanted, however in cases like this, perception is reality. I've tried discussing this issue before, but to no honest avail. After canceling my AC plans due to some poor news, I really thought I might start working on this issues, and I've been trying, but the more I work at it, the more it seems to grow worse. On some level, maybe I set myself up to end up feeling bad, I honestly couldn't say. I'd like to think that isn't the case, but it's a possibility. I don't even know who will actually see this, but I figured getting my thoughts out might help.

Writing can actually be quite therapeutic, even if nobody reads or responds. But I think you have enough friends out there who are interested in you and care enough about you that you should never feel abandoned at all And congrats in order on landing yerself a man? Well done, Sir... hope things go well for you both and that he makes you happy.

I am actually happy, after writing it down and talking it out with somebody I feel worlds better. My problem is, until I get something out it just sits and festers. Once I get it out, I'm good. And thank you very much for the kinds words.

Words mean more if they have a ring of truth about them, my friend And you know it. Having said that, it's natural to have doubts sometimes, and for things to get you down. But at the end of the day you always know there is someone out there thinking fondly of you which can be satisfying.

*holds you tightly* What do you mean "unwanted"?

I more mean just that I feel like I'm an outsider looking in at a bunch of friends. *Hugs softly*

You're not an outsider, people don't have to fit perfectly in with any one group to gel. You're just quiet, and that tends to lend itself to people not directly engaging you in conversation.

Honestly, I agree with you. I've been told my being quiet has been an issue. I just have troubles being vocal just because I'm nervous.
