Dear, Journal

Life is nasty... People promise things they should never promise and leave you broken. Some days I can't help but to think it's on purpose... why would someone you love try and destroy you until you fall out of love with them? 

I love him. Everything about him, I want and my ears light up whenever I think or hear his name, it's almost like a notification that this guy is in my life. And when he's not hurting me, he's loving me right back. He's right by my side holding my hand. Carrying me somewhere I don't want to go. 

When we come of age, sometimes we just don't want to be hurt anymore.

He has to prove to me he is the man I love, not the boy.

Happy 19th

Remember when you were younger and life was just about the things you wanted to do? You enjoyed almost everything, oblivious to the fact that one day that would fade away and the carousel would just keep turning and never, never stop. Then, on the day you we're born you age and age until you finally become an adult and you think, how did we get here? And how do we make it stop? 

Today was that day. Growing up in the face of anything, I guess you could say and nothing at the same time. To advance into a destination instead of eating a tub of ice cream alone. "You can look but you won't see the girl I used to be cause she's...!!"

You might be wondering why am I singing. Well it all started off this way.
"She's sooo gone!" I jumped on my bed, clutching my phone. It was that time. It was that awkward, weird time. I was fully an young adult now and was still listening to a childhood song that I might as well should've forgotten by now.

But no.

Maybe I was to old for this, but! Sounded pretty damn good! "Cause she's so gone!!.... oogonee She's so gone ooonnooonnonnn!" "That's so over now!"

The days before today we're decades of being with Nina and Allie and crossing off people who "weren't material" for the guest list, when actually I said everyone could come, Nina and Allie did the X'ing for me... Fine by me, as long as I see cake... The only thing I was really concerned about was if dad was going to make it. He never missed a birthday even if he was a busy man.

This year would be different of course.

I had to enjoy my few moments of freedom. I had got up around five just to dance around the house before the real world set in, which it wasn't. Every year my friends go out for me, and every year I ended up getting drunk --- that was the plan. So glad you guys missed my 16th. I had to wait for the 'distraction' they always sent me so I could be occupied.
