Haha. Anthony just came and said good night to me. Too early, I really should go back to bed but I&#8217;m wanting to take advantage of the not sleepy and not at work time even though I am not awake enough to have any particular focus right now.<\/p>\n<p>I exchanged a few text messages with mom last night while having dinner with Andy and Tori at the twilight. I forget exactly what she said but it was fueled by these discussions I&#8217;ve been having about love a lot lately. I don&#8217;t tend to get to worked up about figuring life out, at least not in any sort of a zealous way. I have to admit it seems like I worry about it more than most, but that&#8217;s like because I&#8217;m just more open about the things that I think about and worry about than most. While they still get to me and upset me, the downs in life I usually don&#8217;t complain about so much, taking an attitude that they&#8217;re &#8220;par for the course&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The stereotypes about what love is have probably been overstated. A feeling like lust, or an action when you care. Something short, or something long, depending on maturity and sexual tension. I don&#8217;t think I can wave my arm and clear away the stereotypes leaving a clean explanation but I often feel like it&#8217;s clear to my heart.\u00c2\u00a0 That is, often times I feel like my feelings are clear to me, it just feels like they&#8217;re a puzzle piece and the trick is trying to figure out how they&#8217;re going to connect to reality.<\/p>\n<p>Mom seemed to acknolwedge where I&#8217;m at and that it&#8217;ll take some time and effort to leave this emotional place behind when the time comes. As much as I joke about getting cranky and pessimistic I&#8217;m all mushy and romantic inside so it&#8217;s very hard to do as much, hard to give up on matters of the heart. Maybe it&#8217;s all in the timing too.<\/p>\n<p>I dated for a while last fall. It was a good times, and certainly a worthwhile growth experience for me but in ways I feel lonelier because of it. I think I need to find better ways to date for friends, or as such to go back to mingling social groups because most the people I meet dating come with different social agenda&#8217;s and life values than me.<\/p>\n<p>Too melon collie at the moment I think. Back to bed or off to work, time to roll the die.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I went to bed shortly after 8pm and up at 4am. Haha.
