Death of a Pillow
I have a phobia of myself, well, of letting myself think for too long. I have noticed, that if you think about something for too long, it stops making any sense whatsoever. And then you get all confused, and the thing that you were thinking of in the first place is silly now, and you change your mind so much in the course of all these thoughts, that you end up losing support for your decision instead of gaining it. My mother read this book, called “The Paradox of Choice”, which talks about how, if you make a choice, and then have to explain it to someone, you actually start thinking about all the reasons you made that decision, and then you want to change your mind, but suddenly don’t know what to change your mind to! Well, my choice is that I am a lesbian, and the person I am explaining this all to, is myself. I don’t know really why I think I am a lesbian. Yes, I am attracted to women. Yes, I do want to have sex with them a million times more than I want to have sex with men. And yes, I am in love with Tara (if you missed the part on Tara, go back to the post “Tara, R, G, and AL” or if you want to know of my lesbian exploits, (no it isn’t dirty) go to, “Holding hands with Tara”, and ignore the bisexual part. Or should you?! I don’t even know! Anyways, so ummm… yes, I do look down girls’ shirts when they bend over, and yes, I do have many guy friends that I am not remotely attracted to… so why would I ever think I wasn’t a lesbian? That, my friend, is the problem. Why indeed? Because I don’t want to be a lesbian. I don’t want to get into the whole “rights” thing, if you want to know of my bitchyness, try “Rosen Girls”, and I do not want to never care about how I look, good example in the story “Beautiful Girl”. So the world is really confusing me right now, so I punched a pillow. Which didn’t work. Now I am wishing I had a gun so I could shoot it to death. That might make me feel better. Die, pillow, die!!!!

Although I can't say I've ever gone through what you're going through, I do know how hard it is to figure out who you are. I'm still trying to do that. It's been something I've been struggling with forever, it seems. But (and I'm still not quite sure why, actually) I seem to have this faith that eventually, through all the bullshit, things will work out. Maybe that hope is what keeps me going. I think it's because that's really all I have. But either way, I do think that eventually, through all the bullshit, you'll figure things out for yourself. You're still young. You have a whole lifetime to figure yourself out. Now, though, is the time to just have fun and be young. Things may not always happen the way you want, and life seems to kick you in the head right after it's tripped you and made you scrape your knees. But sometimes it helps you back up, even if just to trip you again.
I sound so preachy and cliche, I know, but hey, twenty years of going through it, I should have at least learned something. Haha.
P.S. You should never have to be ashamed of who you are. And anyone who makes you feel like that doesn't care about you. And it's hard. I know it's fucking impossible sometimes, but always be you. Whoever that is.
