            I have so many things in my mind that I’m not able to get out or express, and here lately it really seems to be holding me back.  Right when I thought things were actually starting to improve and I had decided that I was going to give life a second chance, they only went down the tubes again.  Or more like my life did.  In turn makes me come to the conclusion that things will probably never get better.  Sam called me earlier and swore up and down they would, but it is so hard to put my belief in that.  Shoot, half the things I have believed in I am slowly beginning to lose faith and question why I even bother in the first place.  Especially considering that majority of the things I have been so strongly opinionated about and stood by 100% within the past few years has suddenly become pointless just because nothing seems to be getting done or being accomplished by any of it.  I mean what’s the point in sitting there and spending like an hour arguing over something when the result is just 2 people either being majorly pissed off at each other or simply agreeing to disagree?  Yet it doesn’t even begin to change anything about that issue in the “real world”.  Having opinions have just somehow become utterly useless to me now.  Most of the real issues that are of major concern have already been dealt with in the past and are long gone.  Referring to African American rights, Women’s Rights, Freedom of Speech……and etc.  That was all settled back in the 60s and 70s and I so wish I was born or living as a teenager during that age, or time period because it would be so perfect for me.  If anything else it would actually give me something to fight for, making me have more of a purpose to live life.  I’m glad Sam called me today.  Used to be after we got off the phone since we’ve broken up I would be crying my eyes out and wanting to beat the wall, or I’d be smiling from ear to ear.  Now my emotions and life have become so empty that somewhere along the line I just began to stop caring and messing around with it.  I guess that is just part of the process of falling out of love.  Once again something I once believed wasn’t possible (falling out of love), actually something I strongly believed about being the huge romantic that I am.  Also once again it’s just another belief shattered before me on the floor, just as most of my life is becoming.  I did spend lunch in the bathroom today and will more than likely do the same tomorrow and the day after etc…  Nobody even noticed today, or if they did they didn’t bother to ask.  I know Sam had the opportunity to ask where I was.  So I simply come to the conclusion that I apparently wasn’t missed.  Believe it or not spending lunch in the bathroom is a lot better than hearing your ex boyfriend (Sam) flirt with another girl, and speak of his new girlfriend, the consequence being, me feeling sick, maybe a little out of jealousy and envy, but mostly because it just hurts and I still care for him in that way.  I think there will always be a part of me that cares for him that way.  He was my first true love and people say you never fall completely out of love with your first true love and I am slowly beginning to believe that, but then again it will probably end up coming back and slapping me in the face.  At first I thought it was me wanting to have someone there, wanting for them to help me form an escape, wanting for them to listen, really listen, not just sit there and nod, but actually get the concept of what I am saying, but I now have come to realize that these are no longer things that I want, but that I need.  It has now become a necessity for me and is literally crucial to my survival, especially with the many directions my life is taking right now.  I need somebody to walk me through and literally hold my hand and guide or at least help guide me through this.  I see that I am at the point where I CAN’T do this on my own anymore, and if I am going to survive and pull through this I HAVE TO HAVE someone by my side (just as a friend) no ifs or maybes anymore.  I have also come to the realization that until I get past this tumultuous time in life and get off this emotional rollercoaster I will not be able to have a relationship and get emotionally involved.  I say this because it may end up being based on false emotions because I don’t even know how I feel about things that I have never changed my outlook on before, so therefore how am I supposed to be stable enough to judge how I feel about another person, for all I know it could be just caused from vulnerability.  Yes I must admit I do have interests in two people right now.  Max who I am not interested in actually pursuing a relationship with because more than likely it won’t work out.  Basically it is just a school girl crush, besides I am pretty sure it is just caused from so many people saying we are going to hook up, he’s too bossy anyways.  The other one is Dean, who I do talk to a lot, but I don’t really know much about other than he’s single.  I think my liking him is more or less based on looks, and I am also pretty positive he has his eye on someone else anyways.  So that’s just more like a lost cause.  Another thing is I am not quite ready to let someone new in and share my secrets and heart with them because last time I did that I got hurt really bad and am still hurting over it.  He said he didn’t (pertaining to Sam) mean to act like he was ignoring me at school in the halls, and during class, but that it was just awkward for him.  I told him I never got the impression he was ignoring me, I was so lying, I actually shedded tears over the fact that I thought I suddenly didn’t exist in his eyes anymore.  I guess that was just more of my over-reacting.  The thing I don’t understand is why it is awkward for him, but not for me at all.  Personally I enjoy talking to him still because it at least makes me feel like I do still play a role in his life.  One thing I find odd is a lot of my friends that I thought he has become friends with while we were together and who he talked to a lot, now he hardly acknowledges, like Helen, just throwing in an example.  I mean while we were going out, Sam would talk to Helen like a lot of the time I assumed he had become good friends with her, but now that we are apart Sam hardly says a word to her.  The funny thing though, is a lot of his friends I actually am closer to now that we aren’t together and most of them are guys.  It’s really kind of odd considering I talk to Jack like all the time now.  Jack, someone who I once strongly disliked, made fun of me all the time, and who at one time was a strong factor in me and Sam breaking up or mainly just him breaking up with me.  Then again that is the past and he’s pretty cool now.  I just find it ironic that many of my friends he doesn’t even know anymore, and I still talk to his.  It isn’t a big deal or a concern of mine, just a little fact I figured I would mention.  I know I need to go to sleep, but I can’t, I don’t really feel tired.  Last night I stayed up until 4:30 I think.  I came home and fell asleep like around 5 this afternoon woke up at about 6:30 and like right after I woke up Sam called.  It was somewhat strange because like five seconds the thought came in my head that he might, but I just ignored it and then the phone rang.  Man, I really need a massage at the current moment because for some reason my muscles are so sore especially my legs and shoulders.  Actually my sore muscles are caused from me doing so many sit-ups and jumping jacks over the course of the weekend.  At first it wasn’t intentional for me to lose weight, but once I did I kind of liked myself more, so now I am doing it on purpose.  I eat when my stomach is completely empty and I can feel it.  Usually right after I eat I do a bunch of exercises.  Sometimes I go three or four days without eating.  I don’t even know if that’s normal anymore.  So many things have been twisted and mixed up in my mind lately that I am not really sure of much at the moment.  I have to be able to get out my feelings and thoughts, but I have to find someone willing to listen first.  It’s just the more they sit inside me, the more I feel like I’m going to explode.
