"Would you always Maybe sometimes Make it easy...
Take your time...I told you I would stay."
Ok so this is fucked up but you know what, honestly Im fucking sick of it. Im thinking of writing you but I prob wont. If I do Ill clean it up so that I look like a fucking sucker so you can roll your eyes and throw it away, and continue thinking Im a pathetic sap. Hopefully it makes you feel better.
Youre being mean. I know you probably are battling the "how do I continue to talk to this person who I think of as an amazing friend, but not give them the wrong idea," kinda thing that I am, but mostly youre just being cold, and in turn youre kinda coming off as a bitch. I know just as well as you that this is weird, and I know that you know that Im completely in love with you, to this day, so you probably act like that because thats how you deal with it. Whereas im inviting you to hang out as much as possible because I genuinely enjoy your company. I dont think of it as "lets try and trick her into hanging out with me so she can miss me and we can get back together," bullshit. Im not a teenager. I still wake up everyday and hope its the day you wake up and realize you have someone who loves you for you and you make the decision to work it out with me. Frankly it hasnt happened yet, and as much as it hurts to think about, I dont think it is going to happen. Youre moving out to get away from me, to get away from this because you dont know how to go about it, and I think you may be listening to advice from everyone and their mother who says (ironically,) to drop me like a bad habit and move on with your life. I dont blame them but at the same time they dont know a god damn thing about me and you know me inside and out. Its an internal struggle, I know, but my friends are your friends and they support me in anything I do and Ive been getting a lot of support as well as good feedback, because they know and love you too. I get the fact that I may have run through my rope and you might just be done, emotions aside. I get that. I know what youre going through, Im doing it too, but at the same time I have no idea how you are going through it, and it makes this that more complicated.
I have a drug problem. Its taken me ages to get to this point, and Im sorry I ever even argued with you about it in the least. That was me blaming you when I should have blamed myself. I cleaned up fairly easily, but around the convention, especially after the dui thing and when you stopped sleeping here a lot, I was crushed. Slammed back down to just a sad excuse for a human being. In May I struggled with doing oc again on and off, stopping around your graduation the I believe (which killed me that I had to miss,) the week before I got fired when I was sick. When I felt the most down and disconnected to you I would go back to it. It never made me feel better, It made me sleep, which I needed, mostly to help pass time to forget I was nothing to you again. Its a bullshit excuse, but I made the attempt the first time and was successful for about a month before I hit it again, although not everyday, still wasnt good for me at all. Ive been off for almost 3 weeks now and Im feeling pretty good but those bad days make me want It again, just to sleep and forget my life, so ive mostly been taking suboxin preventative more than actually needing it, and not everyday. I never claimed to be sober this whole time but overall, minus 3 weeks (on and off) or so Im making a pretty good run for the last 3 months. Im doing it because I cant afford to be anymore distracted from my work and overall goals which is to get fucking amazing and travel, probably move to the east coast within 4 years, maybe san fran within the year to 2 years. I am moving up quite fast now actually. Im hitting it hard and drawing like mad, actually getting pretty awesome. Point is I now recognize it as poison and its not a part of my life because it keeps me from my goals, financially, as well as mentally, and I dont want to become that person again. I lost too much time already, and I know how fast I move up when its not around. It took me to figure that out, to make that change. I know Im at the point that I can have some and not have to do it everyday after that like last time, but Im not really taking risks right now and I think maybe some more time under my belt might be the smart thing to do. I hang out with steffan and his gf and they do it all the time, and lots and it doesnt really even bother me even. I know Im making progress but I know the dangers and Im sorry to have ever doubted any concerns you may have had. I know you had my best interests at heart. You loved me.
I digress, you dont know what Im doing all the time, I can assure you Im not robbing liquor stores or doing drive bys or fucking randoms. Before I left Tower I was working a lot, or just crashing at Michelles a lot or hanging out with her at her house when I wasnt home. Now Im legitimately at work for 15+ hours everyday now busting ass. I think it took those hours to insure that I was in an environment that gives me no choice but to do art or make money. Even if I dont tattoo I have 3+ new drawings when I walk out the door every night and that feels great. I need structure. Its killing my social life but I learned that the dedication that's needed to become good (hopefully great,) faster. Its hard on my back, on my neck and on my sleeping patterns but I feel good about the direction Im headed. I know it would be bullshit to try to explain to you how I think Im a different, better person again, the person I know I can be, the person I used to be, but I am. I dont think that matters to you now. Im sure youre glad for me but I think I might have hurt you pretty bad and it seems to me no matter what I do, I dont think youll ever really forgive me for that.
I understand this is your post school, party all the time, meet new people, fuck strangers, rockstar phase (Ive been there, trust me it gets old fast,) and if you go to sleep every night after hanging out with your friends, or co workers, and having a great time, and you feel good about yourself then I think that you found happiness, and Im glad for you. If thats what you need right now in your life, more power to you. If you go to sleep and you dont like that feeling, or what you have accomplished that day, then I highly suggest you re-evaluate your situation and your own goals. Thats just not me right now, and maybe its good that we did break up, I got my shit together and now more than ever, Im pretty serious about becoming a great tattoo artist, and getting the fuck out of here and nothing is going to slow me down anymore. Im sad that it seems that I lost your love, you are really all I could ever look for in someone to love, youre still perfect to me, but it seems like youve got your own agenda now, and if youre not letting me, or any chance of us stop you, I cant really afford to anymore either. I know it might sound like a bullshit thing to say after all that shit you had to put up with in the past but, I dont have the drugs to worry about and Im thinking clearer now. Shook off the haze in my brain and this is who I am now. This is who I was before I got side tracked. Im sorry that you were subjected to that, I wish to God I could take that away from your memory, and that I could have gotten it together earlier, in time, but I really feel I have a lot to offer now, again.
Point of the story is that I love you. You still have my heart. You always will but Im going to be the best at this and Im going to come up fast, and I would love nothing more than to have you beside me the whole rest of the way up. You can believe that there is nothing stopping me anymore, except the sickness of being away from you. The feeling that it was all my fault. Well it wasnt. I know that now. It was equally both our faults for not communicating before it all exploded. The drugs probably didnt help the lack of communication, but still our heads were all distracted. I knew though everyday no matter what, that I loved you, and you loved me, and that it was a big deal. I dont know what you feel anymore, I think you know how I feel, but I dont know what youre looking for, I dont know what you want, I dont know really where you are headed, or what your goals are if you even have any. I do know that I cant afford to be sick anymore. I cant afford to keep putting myself out there because I still feel crushed when you answer me short in texts, say you want to hang out and then go to bed early, when you stay up really late with other friends every other night. I dont get off of work before 12am anymore, sometimes later if were busy, I had to pull some major strings to get off early at all and I dont know when the next time I will be able to do that again. If you didnt think you could stay up to chill I could have stayed at work, visited my family, or other friends that I havent seen in a while that legitimately enjoy my company and want to chill. I love hanging out with you. I would do anything to see you more, but I cant afford to get hurt anymore. I need to eat, I need to sleep and this is not helping. Im sorry baby, but you dont want me back, its not the other way around. I just dont have time to play around anymore. I love you with all my heart. I want nothing more than to meet half ways and fix this. I have friends that will drop shit for me in a heart beat and love to be around me, friends that make the effort, and if we cant be lovers, and we cant be friends, darling I cant do this anymore. I love you with everything I have, to this day, but my body and mind are tired, so tired. I want another chance but its still your move doll. Otherwise, this is not beneficial to me.
Im going to have to tell you goodbye in the middle of the month when you move, I just dont know what kind of goodbye it is yet.
