I’m continuing to have these weird and crazy dreams. I’m not sure what to make of them either but they are exhausting. I feel like I’ve been stuck in purgatory for months now. It’s frustrating. So basically I’m exhausted and frustrated. Each time a guy’s messaged me about coming over I’ve declined or made up some excuse too because they’re not the one’s I want to spent time with. The last guy actually got a little upset. Which I know isn’t my issue and I made not attempt to fix his emotions. That’s new.
So I am exhausted, frustrated and missing human connection and human touch all because I don’t want to settle for some one or two night stands. I’m improving my emotional health I guess but damn… it’s been forever and this drought needs to stop. I need some action soon.
There’s a quote from a movie that I keep seeing and that I keep hearing except I’ve never seen this movie. I saw this quote years ago and it resonated with me so much. The quote…
“Love is passion, obsession, someone you can’t live without. I say, fall head over heels. Find someone you can love like crazy and who will love you the same way back. How do you find him? Well, you forget your head, and you listen to your heart. And I’m not hearing any heart. Cause the truth is, honey, there’s no sense living your life without this. To make the journey and not fall deeply in love, well, you haven’t lived a life at all. But you have to try, cause if you haven’t tried, you haven’t lived.”
That is from Meet Joe Black and it’s said by Sir Anthony Hopkins and is quite possibly the most poignant quote about love that I’ve ever heard. But there’s a reason that it keeps playing inside my head when I’m sleeping lately. I think it has to do with all the men that come through my life that I hold my breath for some sort of connection that I’ve had once before. I think that each of these men I entertained waiting for that connection and it just never came. The connection that I have with one man. This man who pops in my life maybe a few times a year as to say, “Hey keep holding out hope while I’m out here living just in case I’m bored.”
It’s sick and twisted but it is a love that won’t die. No matter how long or the distance or the situation. I know that I’ve never been treated appropriately by him and I’ve tried to repeatedly cut those cords that attached us. Nothing seems to work even on the days that I’m devastatingly done with my heart. He just pops up on my phone or in a dream or in someone’s story to me. I do not keep these flames alive because it’s burning me to death. I’m also aware that if these weren’t one sided feelings we’d have a different outcome or live in a different reality so I’m fully aware on what the actual state of affairs are. I’m not delusional and I’ve kept off my girl-brain for a very long time now.
I’ve spent evenings manifesting, praying or begging the universe for a different outcome or for him to just fade away in my memory and my heart to no avail. I’ll meet someone new and that night go home and have a dream so vivid that I feel like I’m being unfaithful to someone that doesn’t care. I’ve “let go” of any outcome to this and tried to put it out of my thoughts completely but I feel like that just makes it worse and again, my dreams don’t actually let me forget. It’s as if I’ve been cursed and I don’t know why.
I’m not sad or upset I’m just exhausted, frustrated and missing human connection today… That is all.
