So, one good thing that I did was beat the Procrastinator Within by charging up my Palm Pilot overnight. Now it turns on at least. The Palm is important to my Organization Project, as my book calls for a schedule and running to-do list to keep track of the project and mainly to remind me of what needs to be done. But I did not take out the time today to plan, which is actually the MOST important...so my Palm is telling me I have to do nothing...oops.
I did pretend to be in college all day while helping my sister with her first English paper. It's a short story about a memorable incident, for which she couldn't think of something that had happened to her that was interesting enough to write about and usurped my heinous experience during our vacation last July. I provided Living Thesaurus and Grammar Bitch services, then did a general editing/proofreading job at the end. It's just a rough draft, but she's been out of school for 2 years and she's apparently psyched.
Did anyone else watch Sex and the City tonight? It was the best episode in awhile, since the Harry and Charlotte Wedding ep. I loved Carrie's question: How dangerous is an open heart?
Good Lord, it is lethal.
This is actually something I've grappled with for years. Feeling too much, being too sensitive to others, putting too much responsibility for my happiness into other people's hands. It has brought me a lot of tears and heartache, and it has made certain relationships difficult, even impossible, for me to maintain. Crushes on boys have never been easy for me. Whenever I felt myself begin to crush on someone, I tried to talk myself out of it. Nothing will come of this, I said. Don't involve your feelings again. And when it comes to friends...let's just say that a couple of very negative experiences had the effect of making me look upon my friendships differently.
It really does take a long time to trust anyone again after one person proved him/herself unworthy of your trust. That goes for friends, boyfriends, even relatives. The case for keeping your heart open is hard-won for me. I believe in a closely guarded heart...which is much easier said than done. I still tend to let people in with less difficulty than I intend to. People still get in and hurt me. But in general, I try to wait and see if someone will be good or bad for me before I let them that close to me.
Past experiences count for far too much these days.
