It was not your fault or mine, and it was your heart on the line, I really fucked it up this time.. didn't I my dear?
I have come to the conclusion I am one of those people who decide what they want, and then go after it. I am also one of those people who change their minds all the time.
Example one, I was going to be a Drama teacher, and PSW, and an Art Historian. But I am still a bartender/waitress/ Beer Store employee. I have wanted to be a Daycare teacher for some time now but have not pursued aggressively because I wanted to make sure this was it. I am almost positive but a part of me is still afraid of getting halfway there and then coming back to square one.
Example two, I have wanted to not be lonely for quite some time now, so to avoid it I have kept myself busy working three jobs, playing hockey, babysitting, volunteering at hockey games, schools and more recently canvasing. I have to color-code my calender to manage my life, that really isn't all that important. However when I hear a song on the radio or fall asleep in my single bed I still end up with my old friend loneliness. However when an opportunity presents itself it seems I no longer want someone to fill that void, although there is barely anytime left to do so.
How can I be such a contradiction? Do I really want something to answer to, maybe now that my free time is so few I'd rather just do what I please, be it watch my black and white movies, murder mystery shows, walk or blog I want to be able to do that and not worry about how I am spending my free time. Maybe I am making something out of nothing again. I don't see how I can keep doing that though, I thought it was out of boredom, but surely I cannot be bored with this hectic-ness I have created for myself. Is it really fair to string things along to see how I may or may not eventually feel, giving others the impression something may or may not lead to something else? Do I need any more attachment to this town I am so desperate to leave? And more importantly, am I prepared to do to others what I have disliked people doing to me? All I know for sure is I am not ready to answer these questions and make decisions. I would much rather read my Nora Roberts, or watch the Turner Classic Movie Channel and wish my life was more like Old Hollywood.. I don't think my mom reads this but if she was she would kindly remind me (ok, not so kindly) as she does at least once a week "Tatum, it's time to grow up.. and do the dishes." However the dishes are done and it's almost midnight, so maybe I'll work on growing up tomorrow. Until then,
