Becoming less concerned with meaningless familiarity, allows time for the pursuit of more satisfying intimacy; because sometimes it’s the unknowable that makes everything more intensely interesting.

It’s been a while since I’ve felt this irritated day after day. Why can’t people mind their own business and leave someone alone for once? I’m not going anywhere, but the feeling of disappearing to somewhere else sounds fine.
All of these years passed…
And I don’t think I’ve fully forgiven myself. I’ve realized I can’t hold on the guilt forever, but I can’t completely forget you. I can’t completely forget what I put you through, only replaying what I did again and again. Why does it still hurt? I thought I forgiven myself with how much I’ve learned going through the years. I lost my best friend and it only took one mistake to realize I lost it all. You’ll never be back in my life and though I shouldn’t beat myself up for it, it’s all I know how to do. I’m still so far away from what that warm feeling once was, and it’s going to take a while before I find it again.
