what i want to say.
mom- thank you so much for the talk we had today.. i needed it; you’re the one that keeps me going, makes me realize why things happen & what i need to do to prepare for what might come. i love you so much. i dont know what i’d honestly do without you. just thought i’d let you know.. bc i dont think i tell you often enough.
jesse- we’ve only been dating for the past 2 1/2 weeks & already, things are amazing with you. i get this amazing feeling when i see that its you calling or you thats texting. i still get this incredible feeling when i get to your appt & you’re outside waiting for me to let me in. i truly can say that i love you & i can really see us having a future together. i love when you talk about how i make you feel & how you want to & can see us together for a long time. i especially loved the one time when you told me, “emily, i can’t promise that i’ll never hurt you.. because i know there’s going to be times when i’m going to do or say something that’s going to hurt you.. but i can promise you that i’ll never intentionally hurt you.” i love when i get those cute lil texts from you that say, “gosh baby, you’re so amazing”, “you make me feel complete”, “you’re my world” or when you just out of the blue text me while i’m at work & say, “i love you”. just lets me know that you’re thinking about me just as much as i’m thinking about you. i hope things continue going great with us; i just really hope that i dont start to take you for granted.. bc thats the last thing i want to do. also, i love how you give me pjs to wear & when i come out of your room wearing them, you look at me with that little cute smile & say, “you look beautiful baby”. its the little things you do & say that mean the most. <3
kay- ughh. why can’t we just talk & be mature? honestly.. come on. we’re 19 years old, we’re not in hs any more. i can honestly say that i’ve been pretty “okay” these past couple weeks not talking to you. but then there’s times when i really get to thinking & i miss you, your friendship, the way we could talk about anything. just everything, the fun we use to have.. the way we could go a week or so without talking at all & then we’d hangout & BAM, everything would be completely normal & it’d be like we had been talking the whole time. i hope someday you can seriously get over this whole ordeal & be okay with me & jesse. you have chris & he ADORES you.. seriously, don’t take something like that for granted. i did, for the longest time.. i took bryan for granted so much; then look what happened.. just think about it. don’t be selfish, seriously.. just take a break & look at everything from the outside. i want us to be friends again, maybe we wont be as good of friends as we use to be right at first.. but we can climb up to that point; & who knows.. maybe someday we will.
everything happens for a reason, no matter what people say.. i truly believe that.
everything happens for a reason, maybe we won’t know why today.. but eventually; it’ll all make sense. <3
to emily:
so kay wrote this “blog” about me.. its adorable. i freaking love her, idk what i’d do without her.. here it is:
To the person who has always been there for me no matter what. Supported me in whatever i do. The only person who texts me every day, even if its just to say hi. The girl who tells me everything even if it might hurt my feelings, but is for my own good. She has never lied to me. Has always kept our SECRETS, secret. The only person i take constructive critiscm from, and used it to my advantage. The only person who i can go out to eat with, but not even eat that much because were too busy talking. The strongest willed girl ive ever met. Shes been done wrong, but shes made herself right out of the situation, no matter what it is. I dont know where i would be without her. During the tough times, shes lifted me up with her good advice. And i know ive done the same for her. The only person i will go to the bathroom with when im drunk. The only person ive ever rode in a car with and pretended markers and bottles were microphones and sung to “no scrubs” from TLC. Good times. The only person i would have shared my senior prom with, i wouldnt take back any of it for the world. The only person i enjoy taking pictures with even if it is just me and her…just for random, nothing special. The girl who talks to my mom, and probably could talk to her about anything. Ok not anything, that stuff she tells me but you know what i mean. I probably think about her everyday, why-ever it might be. The only person that will ride in her car or her with mine, even though weve almost killed each other a bigillion times. And we just laugh about it. Almost hitting a bunch of deer,l about 7 of them on our way to tyson’s house. Ive never seen that many, up close before, but i was with her.
Shes the only person that knows somethings up even if i say “nothing”.
***Ill keep adding on, were gunna have lots more to come.
“Im gunna be here forever, so he just better get used to it”….”Like i said, your gunna be my maid of honor, in my wedding…” ….”Aw when are you going to get married???? Im already excited!!!”
^^ you can’t deny that that is the cutest thing ever. i had no idea she was even going to write it, it made my day when i read it.
This song..
One Republic- “Apologize”
I’m holdin’ on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground.
And I’m hearin’ what you say,
But I just can’t make a sound.
You tell me that you need me,
Then you go and cut me down…
But wait…
You tell me that you’re sorry,
Didn’t think I’d turn around…
And say…
That it’s too late to apologize.
It’s too late…
I said it’s too late to apologize.
It’s too late.
Yeah!
I’d take another chance,
Take a fall, take a shot for you.
I need you like a heart needs a beat,
But it’s nothin’ new.
I loved you with a fire red,
Now it’s turnin’ blue…
And you say…
Sorry, like an angel
Heaven let me think was you…
But I’m afraid…
It’s too late to apologize.
It’s too late.
I said it’s too late to apologize.
It’s too late.
Whoa!
It’s too late to apologize.
It’s too late.
I said it’s too late to apologize.
It’s too late.
It’s too late to apologize. YEAH!
I said it’s too late to apologize. YEAH!
I’m holdin’ on your rope,
got me ten feet off the ground.
so.. that song. hmm. i was up at UNI staying w/ bryan; but i had a friend staying up there with us too, because it was UNI’s homecoming & i wanted her to go to the football game with me. after the game, me & nicole went to the mall & this song came on the radio & i said, “you know.. if me & bryan ever broke up, i could see this being one of our songs to eachother.” & nicole said, “shut up emily, like you guys will ever break up.” then bryan told me later that night that he didnt think we should be together any more.. & after awhile, i felt this song fit us perfectly. it really & truly was too later for him to apologize. & when i was hurting, i felt.. “i need you like a heart needs a beat, but thats nothing new“.
then.. just last week, i found out a bunch of stuff about darrell; i found out all this stuff he’s lied to me about.. & i felt that this was my song to darrell. if he ever tried to apologize to me, i do feel that i’d be completely clean with him & say, “you know, it really is too late to apologize.” i have yet to see d, & i dont plan on picking a fight with him or anything.. but i could never trust him ever again & i’d probably never be able to be close or hang out with him 1 on 1 ever again. idk.. things are just too weird.
like the saying says. “song lyrics are the words we cannot say“.
“Suffocate”
Now even though I try to play it off
I’m thinking about you all day long
And I can’t wait for shorty to come through
From your lips and back up to your eyes
My hands on your hips when we grind
I’m fantasizing bout what I’m gonna do to you
Got me fiening for her love, can’t lie
Man you should see how she got me
Spending all this time with her.
And I could leave her if I wanted to
Her love turns men into fools
Tell me what a man is to do
Cuz I can’t breathe when you talk to me
I can’t breathe when you’re touching me
I suffocate when you’re away from me
So much love you take from me
I’m going outta my mind
I can’t breathe when you talk to me
I can’t breathe when you’re touching me
I suffocate when you’re away from me
So much love you take from me
I’m going outta my mind
Whenever we up in this bed
And my fingers fall in your hair
I wonder if you feel me watching you
Cuz I can’t go a night without your lovin
Got me looking at this phone
Every time it rings I hope it’s you girl
You got my bracing for your love
And I’ve fallen for you I can’t lie
I just wanna be with you
Yes she got me, there I said it
And somebody call the paramedics
Tell em to hurry up and come through
Cuz I can’t breathe when you talk to me (baby)
I can’t breathe when you’re touching me (when you touch me)
I suffocate when you’re away from me
So much love you take from me
I’m going outta my mind (I’m going outta my mind)
I can’t breathe when you talk to me
I can’t breathe when you’re touching me
I suffocate when you’re away from me
So much love you take from me
I’m going outta my mind
Don’t ever leave me girl
I need you inside my world
I can’t go a day without you
And see nobody else will ever do
I’ll never feel like I feel with you.
Cuz I can’t breathe when you talk to me
I can’t breathe when you’re touching me (when you touch me)
I suffocate when you’re away from me
So much love you take from me
I’m going outta my mind (I’m going outta my mind)
I can’t breathe when you talk to me (oh when you talk to me)
I can’t breathe when you’re touchin me (I can’t breathe when you touchin me)
I suffocate when you’re away from me
So much love you take from me
I’m going outta my mind (I’m going outta my mind)
Oh no no I can’t breathe
Oh no no I can’t breathe (I can’t breathe)
Oh no no I can’t breathe oh no
– wow. so, that pretty much sums up how i feel about darrell. except for that i really & truly believe that i don’t love him. but thats just how he makes me feel, ever since day 1. crazy, huh?
tomorrow we’re suppose to meet up so i can give him back his stuff. he called me yesterday & asked if i had a cd of his & a few other things. he didnt seem like he had a lot to say, but he also didnt seem like he wanted to rush the conversation & get off the phone quick either. but after i got the point of what he wanted, i was like “mhmm. yeah. ok.” just short things, because idk, things are awkward now. after we had the talk about how he thought we should be “just friends”, i told him; “well when we hang out now, i dont want either 1 of us to be weirded out.” he goes, “idk, i won’t be weirded out. things won’t be weird.” oh really? because i’m pretty sure things have gotten to be a little more than weird. what i should say & what i feel towards darrell is pretty much what me & crystal talked about on the phone. crystal thinks i should be straight-forward with him & tell him everything on my mind. & while that is ideal, i dont think i have the guts to tell him everything.
..i just want a friendship out of him now. i just want us to be able to hang out like we use to, goof off, have a good time; laugh at eachother. you know? so, i don’t really know what all i’ll actually be able to say to him tomorrow; i think if its not much.. that i might end up writing him a message online, because i think we all know; some things are easier said in writing, rather than in person.
but the thing is too, that part of me wants to meet up with him; in hopes that we’ll be able to just talk. but the other part of me doesn’t want to meet up with him at all, because i know he’ll more than likely grab his stuff out of my car & be like “ok thanks. cya around.” that would be AWKWARD. point blank, half of me doesn’t want to do it. at all. crystal said if thats what he does that i should be like “so what? thats it?” because she said & i know too, that he would stop, turn around & be like, “what do you mean?” THEN that would start the conversation as to what i feel & all that. he always did tell me that if i had something to say to him, to tell him straight up because he couldn’t read my mind. that if there’s something i want to talk to him about, to do it; because he can’t read my mind & he has no idea when i want to talk. and again, all of that sounds ideal too, but part of me is scared that he just.won’t.care.
..idk whats going to happen; i guess we’ll just wait & see. as much as i hope that tomorrow isn’t awkward & as much as i hope that we get to talk & figure things out; i don’t expect anything. nothing at all.
<//3
annoyed.
soo.. it was a negative; idk why i’m so moody all the time then. or tired for that matter. i called my sis-in-law & told her it was negative & she says, “you sound bummed, did you want to be?” & idk, i guess in some ways more than others, yes i did. i just wanted that one thing to care about.. idk, i guess this just goes back to “everything happens for a reason” so i’m not because of some reason.. that maybe i’ll figure out later in life.
i guess in another way, i thought it would bring me & him close again. not that i expected him to come back & want to date me; but we’d have to talk because well.. yeah. because now we’d “share” something, i guess. i dont get it; theres times where i’m like “wow, i dont even know what i liked about him so much” but then there’s other times when i remind myself why. & i think the main reason is because i was doing good; i was slowly but surely getting over bryan. i was going out on the wkends again, for the 1st time in years; literally. & then all of a sudden somebody showed interest in me.
& right at first, i didnt let myself get too involved; i was like “no, don’t get too excited, its just a fling. dont even put any emotion into it. let him initiate things between you 2; don’t contact him first. if he wants to get to know you, he’ll contact you”. & what happened? like 3 days later.. he calls me & i picked up, but he lost reception, so i texted him to see who it was. & it was him. i got a little excited & even more so when we started hanging out, then that led to staying the night with eachother; then we dated. & even after we broke up, things were still good between us because we still hung out all the time. then all of a sudden, we stopped. i haven’t talked to him in over a week. he called me a week ago saturday, but i didnt pick up because i was at work. i guess if it was important enough, he would have called me back; but idk.
its so aggravating & i’m so annoyed with it all. i plan on staying single for quite a long time. d asked me once, “are you afraid of not having a boyfriend?” & i remember saying, “are you serious?!” but you know what.. maybe i am. but its because i was so use to being with somebody. i was use to always having that somebody to care about, that somebody that cared about me too. & being single.. is just weird & different for me. & to tell you the truth, i don’t like it. i think thats why i fell so hard for darrell, he was interested in me, he helped me get over bryan a lot quicker than i probably would if i wouldnt have met him. he was my “first” after bryan.. that, is why i think i’m having a hard time realizing that nothing will ever be between us again. argghh.
so annoyed.
thinking about thinking.
ever think you think too much?
..like i think, i think too much about the whole bryan thing. the whole darrell ordeal. how many people honestly think that they think TOO much? it just seems weird..
also, i can’t help but be anxious for friday to see what i find out. if its a no go, then i’m going to feel kind of dumb, i think. just because i’m so into it. idk how to explain it.
..also, i’m always tired. i wish school was cancelled tomorrow (even tho theres no reason for it to be) but all i want to do is sleep. i fell asleep around 12:30 am on tuesday morning, woke up around 10:30 because mom texted me, then fell back asleep til 11:30. it wasnt even 1 o’clock yet & i was already yawning. now its about 12:15 am on wednesday morning & i’m SO tired, but i’m doing so much thinking that i dont think i’d be able to sleep. even tho i’m extremely tired. but yet i know i should be going to bed because i’m going to have to get up at 9:30 to get ready & head to school.
..tomorrow night, i plan on just sitting at home w/ the fam. even tho that use to & still does seem kind of boring.. not because i’m with family but because we’ll just be sitting here watching tv.. but it’ll be so relaxing. but its also 1 of those deals, that if darrell just happened to call me or something, i’d be hyped up in a minute.. ready to do whatever, no matter how tired i am. seems weird, really..
i think.. i just can’t wait til this wkend; no school, no work. ahh, it’ll be nice. i even get PAID on friday! i also have a meeting tho.. boo.
my week the rest of the week:
wednesday- sleep, school 11-3, come home.
thursday- sleep, work 2-10
friday- sleep, appointment at 11:20, meeting at 1:30, PAY DAY.
..ohh i’m thinking too much, i should probably head to bed tho. goodnight.
thoughts going thru my head.
this might be long.. just to warn you.
so, i can’t help but wonder how bryan could have lied to me & done all these hurtful things to me. like seriously.. there’s so many things that bryan wouldn’t have done if he wouldn’t have been with me. to put it nicely, he would have lived a sheltered life. seriously.. he NEVER would have gone very far away from home, let a lone to florida.. how many times? he went with us like 3 times, plus the, at least, 3 times he went with us to tennessee. he probably wouldnt have made it thru high school, he wouldn’t have the car he has now; he UGH. he just disgusts me in every way freaking imaginable. HOW and WHY would you do something like this to somebody? i mean, i get it, people change; their feelings change. but the relationship i had with him & how it went downhill so fast, makes me not want to trust anybody else ever again. how do i know that every guy i’m with isn’t going to royally screw me over?
..thats a thing with darrell. a lot of people saw it as him “using me” because i drove us everywhere. but it was US i was driving every where. there was only 2 times when i actually got upset over driving us somewhere. TWO times out of the millions of times i drove us places. ..1 time was because i only saw him for like an hour before he was going to go see his daughter, so i left. that time i was mad because i drove up to coralville for like an hour when i thought we were going to spend most of the day together. the other time was when i went & picked him up, drove us to wilton, hung out there for a few hours, then drove him back to coralville just to come home. just to go back up to IC (with friends later) & ended up staying the night w/ him anyway. those were the only two times. crystal opened up her mouth & said something to him about me being his taxi. THAT was the start as to why me & darrell don’t talk as much. because crystal said something when 1. it wasnt her place, its none of her business & 2. she made darrell think that i had been complaining to her about it or something when i never said a word. thats the starting point as to why we barely talk any more. its messed up too because its something crystal said, it was none of her business!!!! ahh.
..another thing with bryan. i’m super close to his family still. his mom & i still talk; his grandparents ADORE me still. his mom still considers me her daughter. she sent me a valentine’s day card today in the mail & it said “happy vday DAUGHTER”; it made me want to cry. seriously.. his grandparents had gotten me an xmas gift too & his gramma hugged me & said, “you’re welcome to come up whenever you want” you know badly i wanted to just break down & cry, right then & there? i started getting teary-eyed & had to walk away. i couldnt do it.
i just wish that i could take everything i’m feeling & just tell it to the people. like, with bryan, i want to just message him & be like, “whats the deal? i dont get how you could have treated me so completely shitty when i’ve done so much for you”. & as with darrell, i really want to just up & text him & be like, “does it not bother you that we barely talk any more?” because these types of things are definitely bothering me. but its almost like its not bothering the guy because they’re not doing anything to fix it.
..ughh, guys are so dumb.
don’t let me down.
although this is a beatle’s song.. coming from “across the universe”, i thought it was a good subject line.
darrell & i stopped hanging out a little over a week ago. he then called me friday to see if i knew where his necklace was, that i had been wearing the previous week because crystal & i took him to work on a saturday morning & he gave me his necklace & told me to wear it. so i did, & then wednesday night when i stayed with him, i took the necklace off before i fell asleep. the next day i gave it back to him & to make a long story short.. he had forgotten where he put it. so, i told him where he had put it & we got off the phone.
while i was on the phone with darrell, matt was on the phone with crystal & matt told crystal to tell me to tell darrell that matt wanted to drink w/ him.. so i told him & to make another long story short.. darrell was going to come into town, but decided he’d be too rushed so he decided against it..
last night i worked 2-10 & darrell called me around 9:45 & i was taking out the trash when i felt my phone vibrate. i would have picked up if i would have felt it vibrating before then, but i caught it right when it switched to “1 missed call”, so it must have been ringing for awhile before that. i didnt call him right when i got off work because i had stuff to do, it was freezing cold out & i was running around quite a bit so i dont think i would have been able to keep a convo going if i tried.
i ended up texting him around 11 to see what he had wanted, but he didnt text back. i wonder what he wanted but i dont want to make a big deal about him calling me either. i mean its nice to know he called me, because something he wanted or something made him think of me, which led him to calling me.
but i also kind of figured that if it was important, he would try to get ahold of me again.
idk, idk what to think with him. we’re “just friends” but it’d be cool if we hung out every now & then too. who knows, i guess i’ll just have to wait & see.
ever think you know somebody?
so friday night.. matt, crystal & i went over to jerry’s (bryan’s brother) house, where we played poker. right at first, bryan didnt really talk to me & i loved the fact that i could have really cared less. it was like he was nothing to me, like i was blind to the fact that he was even there.
we began to play poker & he sort of started talking to me in the group, pretty much just contributing to the conversation. that was the first time i actually looked him in the eyes. those same, big, green eyes with the beautiful long eye lashes. BUT that was when i noticed he was chewing. thats disgusting! honestly.. lets just hope for mouth cancer here. ughh.
this just goes to show that everybody changes. a person that i knew & dated for over 4 1/2 years is completely different than what he use to be. he chews, he’s starting to gain weight & he drinks beer. bryan’s dad chews & i remember bryan always talking about how gross it was & how his teeth were rotting & he couldn’t believe he’d want to do something so disgusting. just to find out tho, that bryan has been chewing for over a year.. so that means he hid that too from me, while we were dating.
i dont understand how somebody could be so heartless. my family did so much for him, he told me how much he loved me & how we’d be together all throughout college & nothing would change between us. he promised. & to find out hes been chewing for so long, i dont even really see how its possible that he could have chewed while we were dating, we were always together, he lived with me, he couldnt have hid it in his car.. because we often took his car to go places & at the time, we were always comfortable enough going thru eachother’s stuff knowing the other wouldnt be mad. unless him saying he’s been chewing for over a year is a lie too. because well think about it, that wouldnt surprise me much.
like mom says, “the apple doesnt always fall far from the tree”. i just hope he doesnt get some girl pregnant & then not want anything to do w/ the kid after a couple years like his dad did.
its like the whole situation with bryan really bothers me, to the point where i’d like to never talk to him again & have nothing to do with him. but we always said that no matter the situation, we’d always be friends after we broke up. & i dont think i could have somebody in my life for as long as 5+ years, only dating for over 4 1/2 (but still) & completely keep them out of my life. we had so many good times together, but he’s changed so much. idk, i’m just glad i dont have to see him every day. he kind of grosses me out; just in who hes become.
..just when you think you know somebody so well; you find out promises were always broken & they never could tell the truth to begin with.. just when you thought you knew.
does it not bother you?
ok, so.. since my 4 1/2 year relationship, i was involved in another relationship. it lasted about 2 1/2 weeks, but after we broke up, we remained really good friends. so things were good on my end, it kind of bothered me that we hung out so much & were such good friends & nothing more;; but then i didnt really care because we were still hanging out.
..now everything was going great, we were hanging out, calling eachother all the time & then something happened. something i dont really want to post on here, but obviously it made things awkward for this guy. i was okay with it, i was just like “..oops, we’ll move on from it” but apparently it really bothered him. because like 2 days after it happened, he told me that he thought we needed to stop acting like we were dating. at first i didnt really get it, i never looked at it as though we were acting like we were dating, i saw it as us being friends & maybe having the potential of being something more agian someday. but no, this guy thought we should stop acting like we’re dating & just be “friends”. so we talked about it that friday, then we talked on saturday for like 2 minutes on the phone, didnt talk at all sunday or monday, then i called him tuesday. after several times of talking on the phone & then playing phone tag because neither 1 of us picked up when the other would call.. we finally got to talk later that night.
..he said he felt like we acted like we were dating because we hung out pretty much every day & talked on the phone several times a day. which was true, i started to see where he was coming from; because i did talk to & hang out w/ him more than any of my other friends & it was the same for him. but now its thursday & i havent talked to him since.
it REALLY bugs me. how do you go from talking to somebody every single day, not even that; hanging out with them every single day too.. to not talking to them at all? he says we’re still going to be friends & that it won’t be awkward when we DO hang out (if that ever happens), but then why does it seem so awkward that we’re not talking? like, i just wonder if he ever thinks about it like i do. probably not because guys are STUPID but i mean honestly.. sure, i’ll go awhile without thinking about it, but then when i’ve got the chance to actually sit down & think, he’s all i think about. if he asked me, i’d tell him straight up that i do like him, i care for him.. i really do. some people don’t see why, but i dont need other people to see it for me to know.
..mom asked me one time if i thought i loved him; i really & truly don’t. i think i fell in love with our friendship, with the time we spent together. there was rarely ever a dull moment, he always made me laugh. & there were times where we’d sit in the car & it’d kind of be an awkward silence, but even tho it was awkward, i still felt pretty comfortable. i’m not even sure that makes sense, but it does to me. maybe i just liked being with him so much that it didnt matter to me. ughhh idk.
like, i wonder if he even thinks about me any more. he obviously use to because he’d call me quite a few times a day. seriously.. the other day when we did talk on the phone; he texted me first to see if i was awake & i thought to myself, “idc if he even calls me, just that text right there makes me happy to know that he’s at least thinking about me.” that in itself probably sounds pathetic but ughh. idk.
i’m done puting all my forth & effort into trying to make things work with a guy. its dumb that i’m trying my best if he’s not going to do the same. its stupid, i’m done playing games.
why cant it just be easy?
