Something New

To any and all of you who came out Saturday night, thank you so much. Every time I go out, almost literally every time, at some point in the evening I hit a wall. I stop enjoying myself. I realise I'm alone in a crowd. I want to crawl away and die.

But not this time.

For once, I had a fantastic time the entire night. There were disappointments such as the birthday girl not being able to make it, but even that paled in comparison to being truly happy. I smiled, and it wasn't just a brave face. It wasn't to mask the real emotion inside.

I couldn't have stopped smiling if I tried.

Reminder

You make forgetting look so easy.

Borrowed from here.

Resolution

To any and all who may still be reading, I've decided to let you in on one of my resolutions for the new year. I want to post here at least once a week. That's at least 52 posts in 2012. (Don't worry. I don't count this one and therefore am not cheating.) It's going to be a little tougher than usual as Blogger no longer supports the browser on the computers at work or on my phone, so I have to do all my posting from my home computer, which I'm not too keen on sitting in front of. But that's what resolutions are about, right? Finding something about yourself you want to change and changing it. Change is hard and therefore, resolutions are hard.

That's why I'm going to ask for your help.

I find it so much easier to write consistently if I have feedback on my writing. If you come across one of my posts that you find interesting for any reason, please leave a comment. Good or bad, I take it to heart and it does inspire me to continue and to do better the next time.

To those of you I know do still read my stuff, I respect your opinions very highly and do enjoy hearing your feedback, positive or negative. Please don't hold back on criticisms or down play reinforcements.

Thank you so much for reading. I do hope you return.

Happy New Year!

My Sweater

You're so wrong for me. Everything you do, everything you say, it all screams wrong.

Why then, when I hold you, does everything feel so right? When you squeeze me as tight as you can, why don't I want you to let go? When you rub my back to comfort me, why do I feel so much better? When you're talking to me, why don't I want you to stop? When your ride arrives to pick you up, why don't I want you to leave? When I smell you on my sweater after you've gone, why can't I stop breathing you in?

Why do you make me feel like I won't get hurt again?

Never Fails

Just when things start looking up, just when I think I have a few days, maybe even a week of happiness to look forward to, something always brings me down. Someone.

Why did it have to be you?
