Mid 20's Mid Life Crisis

After my first post I have done a lot of thinking and writing. A lot of life changes have occurred; I am a year older and am still on a constant search of what makes me happy as you may or may not already know. I have begun writing a short story in my journal for kicks because I was bored and I truly feel as if it helps me define myself a little better; the title "Life at exit 18". Quite and interesting little story thus far and of course it has not ending and no real theme, its basically my journal with a title. I have also tried to date, which has turned out miserably. I have found out in a short time I am a heart breaker and should be equipped with a warning label. I truly feel it is because at this point I don't want to settle and I really have no clue what I am looking for, all I know is I haven't found it. With that said, I am truly grateful for all of the wonderful men that have been in and out of my life and I am sorry for the hurt I have caused. Over a year has passed and I have been riding life's roller coaster with apprehension, excitement and carelessness at certain times, frankly I am exhausted but I have learned a lot and I hope to share all of my stories in order to help define what has made me happy and learn from what hasn't.
So after over a year you can imagine the stories I have at this point and I am
I am going to try and start where I left off in Oct of 2010, just a month after my break up...

Valentine's Day Heartbreaker

After that last post I'm getting back into my story. I think if anything that proved I am real and I have issues I am still dealing with. I still get upset and I am still working through it and learning about myself everyday. Hell if I didn't learn anything what am I really doing? Anyway getting back to where I left off.... As January 2011 came to a close and I had a boyfriend; I was still beyond confused. I was happy in the moment trying to live day to day, especially after the hellish month that just passed. I was relived to have someone in my life that cared about me but I began to feel as if he cared too much, more than I cared for him. Dinner with my parents, a cold Monday on January 31st; the first day we officially started dating, was a turning point for us in his eyes but I'm not sure I felt the same. That dinner was nearly impossible for me to get through. Not because I was nervous but because my parents are so embarrassing I didn't know what to expect. I had ...

Unexpected Blissfulness

In a short period of time I realized I have always tried to be overly prepared for anything and everything. This thought occurred while preparing for a date, my first date ever, which was incredibly difficult. I started getting ready hours before he was supposed to pick me up. I nervously cleaned my whole apartment, did the dishes, and finally the laundry. I felt like I was sixteen again. This was real and he was picking me up to go out to dinner. When I finally sat down to watch TV hoping it would pass time, the doorbell rang and my heart started pounding. I casually walked to the door trying not to walk too fast or too slow, quickly checked over myself in the mirror, took a deep breath, and opened the door with a smile. I remember seeing his eyes first; an incredible light blue with sparkling hints of grey, almost silver. He stood in the doorway as I put on my shoes. Awkwardly bent over and talking, in the back of my min...

Happy New Year?

I was excited to ring in the New Year. 2011 was promising, it had to be better than the last four months. I didn't want to not kiss anyone when the ball dropped but I refused to be with Brian. I didn't want to give him hope that I was his this year, I felt like it would mean more to him than it did to me, so I went out so New Paltz and met up with my friend and her fiance. I usually hate being a third wheel but they are always great company and when drinking is involved I'm interested. It was a nice night for what I remember, which isn't much, but I didn't make any terrible decisions so things were looking up. The days to follow were increasingly hard. I found out my ex told his new girlfriend he loved her and I was crushed. I couldn't help but question everything we had and what those three words really mean to him. Obviously not much because the girl he was dating was...lets just say not ideal, unless you're looking to get herpaghanasyphiliitis, but you d...
