how am i still so lonely?
i’ve been single for two and a half years. i’m so fed up of this. i know that a romantic relationship won’t solve all my problems, and perhaps i want it to. but still, oh can’t i just have someone to hold?
i was so scared to drive until i just decided to do it. i never felt ready- but i just got in the car and drove. i realize that i never would have “been ready,” if i’d kept waiting.
the freedom is wonderful, and the pleasure is a delightfully meditative one (except when you try to switch lanes and look in the rearview/side mirrors three times, get your heartrate up, and try to switch before that big truck gets here).
