i've realised, im sadly jaded.
for a while now, i've left... unable to love.
unable to feel things.
unable to trust.
unable to give myself to another person the way i have always wanted to, the way i have always done before.
but now i realise that perhaps this isn't the case.
yes, i'm jaded.
yes, i'm kind of a dick.
and yes, i don't really believe in love anymore.
but a conversation with a girl made me realise that maybe this doesn't have to be the case.
maybe the problem isn't with me,
but the girls i'm trying to love.
the girls i've tried to date have run the gamut from crazy to fucked up.
i tend to think that the fallen ones will save me.
and it is true that the crazy ones are good in bed.
but three abortions and compulsive lying isn't a good thing, no matter how you spin it
"hey, it just means she's good in bed"
"or maybe she's a good actress"
but when you end up lying out of your teeth to just get laid
or get what you think you want,
you're in a bad place and as you say:
'i'll rot in hell for this'.
but i know i don't deserve the fire because at the end of the day and deep down enough,
im actually pretty damn nice.
and that doesn't mean i'll lose or finish last.
it just means i won't settle for sloppy seconds
and that eventually i'll get the girl.
so i'm going back, back to california
back to who i was
and back to what i was doing.
i think its been time.
i think its been enough and i've tried and tested the waters enough
and i've taken a break from reality for long enough.
its time to get my head back in the game.
2 years?
fuck that, lets have three cheers for 2 years.
and its time to motherfucking jump.
so maybe im not jaded.
and maybe the worlds not as dark a place as i imagined it to be
and maybe fairytales do come through.
but i know, i feel, like i'm ready to start loving and trusting again.
i know what the problem was, and it sure as hell wasn't me.
a friend asked me 'what do you think you're doing?'
and it killed me to say 'i don't know'.
