It can be, but theres always people who have been there before and are willing to lend you a hand.

Things will settle into place. I wouldn't say i'm completely happy about the way things are at the moment but I'm feeling good about things. It's all about outlook.

I know, I've been there. I guess the best thing is to find something that doesn't feel lonely and do that more.

I used to mope around quite a bit feeling sorry for myself because I was lonely. I just kept myself busy doing things I like, and just kept telling myself I was happy and I was good. It was a big help.

yeah, I have been trying to keep busy and I got involved in the gym, and softball and stuff but I messed up my knee and needed surgery so now I can't do pretty much anything. I find writing to be a big help and while with my boyfriend, nothing can go wrong=)

My next one

Beside Me

I lie awake watching you close
you are there lying next to me
there you look so sweet and innocent
your arms around me in a tight embrace
it takes all my strength not to touch you
for that would wake you from your quiet slumber
the curves of your body enticing me
making me think of the ways we make love
you slowly woke and asked "whats wrong?"
you voice was sweet and warmed my heart
i drew you closeas you slowly rose
you soft lips queitly slipped to mine
the kiss you gave was warm and soothing
the worriness over you now gone
the love we shared everlasting
I crawl under the covers as do you
the love now to be shared in our dreams
my happiness with you here unmeasurable
the only wish, to have you beside me
beside me forever.

That one was awesome! I think my favorite of the ones I've read.

When love as strong as mine occurs
It's sad how people suffer
One gives love, one does not
What's to be said about the one who gives up
Love is pure, love is precious
Love is different
That's for sure
I love my dog but that's not amore
I love my friend different than my mom
I love my boyfriend more than I ever thought
I love life and I love flowers
But love is love and that's all that matters

I don't like this one but thought I'd post it anyways

hello again!!!

sentra i kinda know how you feel i am 22 right now and just getting my act together and starting college in december where as all my old friends from highschool have already graduated and started a life for themselves boy do i miss some of them... never going to see them again
now most everything in my life i have been able to shrug off jst say fuck it or it happens sometimes but there used to be this little shop called the wizards tower. it sold a card game called magic the gathering you may or may not have heard of it anyways i based my life around this game for almost five years. the walls in my room were covered in rare cards, box tops, magazine pictures, and various other related items. i had every book they ever printed i would order two boxes of booster packs every time a new series came out (3 times a year) so i could try to obtain a complete collection, which never happened i would always have to buy more packs then eventualy the singles themselves. and when i wasn't in school i was at the tower playing magic or reading this huge book on every ruling ever made in a tournament so that i could eventualy become a sanctioned judge. but one day i went there and the doors were locked. mike, the owner and his wife melissa never said anything about beeing short on rent to any of us god knows we would have done what we could to keep it going, but that was it in the blink of an eye my world had been turned upside down my defining point was gone forever. now that might sound kinda silly being that attached to just a little store but like i said i based my life around the game and then when the store opened for their short lived run it just heightened that feeling even more. i still look back some times and wonder what had happened to all the friends i made there what they are doing how their lives are going and just sigh and say to myself you can't look back when you are trying to move forward or you might run into a tree

anyway here is another one without a name

too bright for mine eyes
for in shadow i dwell
too afraid to look
for i might see hell
the world around me
is breaking at the seams
it can't stay together
it hasn't the means
chaos and confusion
the world falling apart
i can't stand to watch it
i haven't the heart

SentraGirl · #57 10-19-2002, 04:30 PM

Wow, thanks for the insight. I feel as if everything is falling apart. I understand what you're saying and I'm sorry that had to happen to you but it probably was for the greater good. Good luck with school now! Great poem by the way, short and to the point, awesome.

grimmy · #58 10-19-2002, 04:51 PM

the greatest piece of advice that i can give you is simply patience. patience is truly the greatest of all virtues. in time it can heal broken hearts mend wounds and piece together all of the fallen parts of the confusion you may be going through. i have, unfortunately begun to believe in patience a little too much as i rarely work for the things i really want anymore because i have come to believe that if i wait long enough anything i have ever wanted will eventualy make its way to me. i still believe this to be true just not very expediant.

another bit of advice is to stop worrying about anything. what has happened cannot be changed, what is going to happen will indefinetly happen, no amount of worrying will ever change this, it will only waste your energy and cause a situation to be worse than it has to be. things happen for a reason to try to change these occurances is not only imposible but foolish, so just let them happen as they do and consider yourself a better, wiser person for having been able to deal with them as they come.

SentraGirl · #59 10-19-2002, 05:15 PM

This is absolutely amazing advice and I can't tell you how appreciative I am to receive it. I worry so much and I get so stressed out and then I still get disappointed! It's so frustrating. I don't believe the same as you do about not having to work for what will happen but I believe in having patience while you try to accomplish your goals which is something I definitely don't have. Anyways, thanks sooooo much for the advice.

Wow I wish I'd got here sooner.

All I can say is Grimmy is right on the money. I'm 24 and 2 years out of University. so I've been through that part of life and it so far has been the most confusing of all. but that's ok.

I am originally from NZ, but I spent 10 years living in the US. from 9 to 19. So I did the US high school thing, I know what it's like. then when I graduated I moved back to NZ to start University. So I completely started over. No friends of my own, just my parents friends. Looking back on it I think I did the best I could. Now I have lots of friends and much of my life is sorted. There are parts that still trouble me but I'm working on those. basically I'm still trying to completely find myself, as in who I am.

But as grimmy said. patience is a key. Though I can get frustrated and angry, I don't often show it, and try to be patient.

I'm a big believer in fate. if it happens it was meant to, so the best thing is to find a way to deal with it. don't let bad things stress you out, just look at it as a challenge and move past it. And look at the past as just that, history, history can't be changed. there are parts of mine I'd love to erase but I look at it as I wasn't as mature then, i didn't know but I do now.

anyway, i think this makes sense. my mind has a tendency to work at a million miles an hour, and just come out as jibberish.
