thoughts on the bus

-
Today I saw Hanah. Several times, actually. Just happened to cross paths during passing periods, the bus...

She was with a group of girls. Hanah, with friends her age, her sex, common interests, common classes... Hah, much more fitting than an old, solemn soul like me.

Does she know how blessed she is? Working on the hotline, I've come to understand... you are blessed, so, so blessed. What a world of joy you have been given. I think of the others... what they’d give to know just a moment the peace that you have.

My heart burns with happiness. Now, in this season of solitude, it is a breath of life to know that Hanah has asked and received, that she has found comfort and love in those around her. These prayers have been answered. She is loved... that is all I have ever wanted.

Ah... but I miss the children. Taking Fridays off isn’t the same when you’re going to youth group instead of pouring into children. Children are wonderful... after a week of working, they remind me of all that is innocent in a world so dark... they heal the scars I bear from the burden of work. I miss them...

Pray that I might find a church and friends, would you?

can't sleep for my life rn. I find myself growing fonder and fonder of Ashley. As fond as I am of Megan, even. There is a hole burning in my chest as I write this. I knew what she meant when she said, "I think this relationship will make me sad." I didn't need to ask. But I asked, anyways. I wanted to hear her say it. Why does she like me? It would be so much easier if she didn't. I would love her quietly like I do with the others. Write about her, think about her, dream about her. I dreamt about her three times this week. I didn't tell her about them though. Why can't she be Christian? Maybe it's for the best. I imagine I would be far too distracted if she was; I can't trust myself to handle a relationship without failing school--at the moment. Even as she is now, she has been so good to me. She has been good for me. Not without her flaws, of course; how much more beautiful she would be if she loved Christ! But she is someone nested within regardl...

dreams (2) 4/15/20 i love elisabeth and now I’m fucking lonely again I hate this

-
I dream I am in a relationship with Elisabeth Lau. Actually the dream begins with her confessing to me. These dreams are always so nice... I hate this. Why must I always dream of fantasies, never substance? Why do I now long for someone I was never even talked to, let alone was friends with? I’ve been calling with Mikayla recently. But I wish I had a friend. Maybe she’s a friend. I don’t know what friends are anymore. I hate dreams. They always remind me of how awful my loneliness is. I’m fine for months and then bam, one night passes and life is fucking miserable again. I just wish I had a friend—no, something more than a friend. Maybe. I don't know what a friend is anymore. I want someone I can talk to whenever I want, who enjoys me enough to seek me out on their own. But can you call that a friend? I think you can, but experience has shown me other people don’t. Other people think you’re weird, or a creep, or desperate if you come on so strongly. So I come here. God I’m ...

eternal sunshine, kissing, and handholding

-
Hey, I’m starting a new series. One about plans for my future girlfriend/wife. For reference. I don’t want to forget these ideas. First, Eternal Sunshine. We HAVE to watch this movie. First or second date. Or third. Honestly I don’t care we just HAVE to watch it, I love it so much. I’ve watched it three times now. That’s in the past month. Second, kissing. When I stayed at Marian’s house, her dog Hamlet would pounce on me every morning with a flurry of kisses. I know it’s just a dog, but... I really liked that. It made me feel loved. I want to make sure that my wife feels that way, so I kiss my wife every day. In the morning, when I wake up, and when we go to bed, regardless of if she’s aware of it or not. Those two are the very minimum. Even if I’m grumpy or upset. I want to remind myself—and remind her—that I love her. Third, I will always hold her hands if we come to argue. Heck, I’ll hold her hand everywhere. This one I’m sure I won’t forget because I practically practice it ...
