When anxious, uneasy and bad thoughts come, I go to the sea, and the sea drowns them out with its great wide sounds, cleanses me with its noise and imposes a rhythm upon everything in me that is bewildered and confused. -Rainer Maria Rilke

Tenacity
Ironic really...I've always been called the happy child. Surprised? Not really. I seem to always have thoughts continuously running through my mind. Just to much for me to contain. That could explain why I lose so much sleep. Or that I almost continuously have a head ache. Or the fact that my facial expressions lack the enthusiasm they once had. I seem to question everything. Wondering why....thoughts running in every direction.....jumping from one thing to the next...never ceasing....
I actually sat and dwelled on why trees grow up instead of out or to the side. Why are they reaching towards the sky...What draws the tree up? Why is its first instinct to reach up...the branches yearning towards the heavens....I suppose if it was the case of them growing out and low to the ground they would be considered a shrub instead of a tree. This is pointless...why do I even think about these things?
What is the point?
I think mainly I feel this way because I lack focus. My entire life I've had a focus on something. Mainly sports. First it was baseball. Then swimming and water polo. All my coaches making sure that the team had a focus. A goal. Baseball it was about winning. Swimming it was about personal achievement. Beating out the clock. Water polo (at least for me) was doing my personal best to help the team. Since even if we lost, we learned something. Every time it was something different that I learned. We were able to apply new tactics. A new focus. I think most of my teammates simply wanted to win and that's all they got out of it. They didn't appreciate the discipline the coaches were teaching us. Good work habits. Being the best wasn't about winning. Being the best meant that you, personally, did your best. Sometimes that's not always good enough. Practice makes perfect. That isn't a false saying. Practice does take effort but it also gives good rewards. As my coach used to say: "Swim smart, swim fast" Which meant if you use your head and intellect then you would use your best advantage. I fully appreciate what my coaches taught me. Strength. Independence. Discipline. All things I will need in life. Its more then the public school education I had could ever teach me. I gleaned more from my coaches then I did from my teachers.

Das me!
<--- This is me. The one in the pink and blue tank tops. I realized that I should probably say something more about myself. I'm twenty years old. I started this blog because...well, I wanted to. I heard that blogging was fun and what not...I'm usually not into this kind of thing. But I figured I'd give it a try. Its alright. I'm not gonna lie...I'm pretty cool. I like sports. I like watching them and I like to play them.
I have 3 siblings. A brother and two sisters. All are now married. And my sisters have children. But my brother does not yet. That's alright though..I think they wanted to get themselves settled before they have kids. Which I suppose is a smart plan. I live in Washington. My brother currently lives here too. But he and his wife are moving to Idaho in a few weeks. My sisters live in Utah and Nevada currently.
And thats all I really want to write...since its 2 am and I'm finally tired! haha...I'll add more later.

Leave me be
So many years ago
You can make me feel
Like it isn't so
And why you come to be with me
I think I finally know
You're scared
Ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
And whipser in a dead man's ear
It doesn't make it real
That's great
But I don't wanna play
'Cause being with you touches me
More than I can say
And since I'm only dead to you
I'm saying stay away
And let me rest in peace
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
So let me rest in peace
You know
You got a willing slave
And you just love to play the thought
That you might misbehave
Until you do I'm telling you
Stop visiting my grave
And let me rest in peace
I know I should go
But I follow you like a man possessed
There's a traitor here beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed
But I can see you're unimpressed
So leave me be and
Let me rest in peace
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
Let me rest in peace
Why won't you let me rest in peace?

Three men married wives from different states. The first man married a woman from Michigan .. He told her that she was to do the dishes and house cleaning. It took a couple of days, but on the third day he came home to see a clean house and dishes washed and put away.
The second man married a woman from Alabama .. He gave his wife orders that she was to do all the cleaning, dishes and the cooking. The first day he didn't see any results, but the next day he saw it was better. By the third day, he saw his house was clean, the dishes were done and there was a huge dinner on the table.
The third man married a girl from Washington. He ordered her to keep the house cleaned, dishes washed, lawn mowed, laundry washed, and hot meals on the table for every meal. He said the first day he didn't see anything, the second day he didn't see anything, but by the third day some of the swelling had gone down and he could see a little out of his left eye, and his arm was healed enough that he could fix himself a sandwich and load the dishwasher.

I am watching the Office. Probably the best show ever. I know most people find it annoying. But uh...its amazing.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
unce unce unce......*sexy dance*
The world would be a boring silence without music.
Travelling is not for me.
Fears: clowns, spiders, failure, drowning.....(which is ironic since i'm a swimmer)
Having a boyfriend: can be bliss ( there Kristie i changed it.)

Watchmen
"Why do we argue? Life's so fragile...[...]...The horror is this: in the end, it is simply a picture of empty meaningless blackness. We are alone. There is nothing else."
Something to Think About.
"I have wanted to die. Not just vaguely thought about it. But really wanted to end everything. Its because I'm depressed. I know this. Finally admitted it I suppose. Nothing yet. Nothing has happened. I just sink farther and farther into the oblivion of morbid thoughts. The heart ache has yet to fall away like it did the last time. Nothing. Everything hurts. The anguish is all that I seem capable to think and feel about. I did something I never thought I would. I cut. I caused myself physical pain simply because the emotional pain was to much to deal with. I couldn't see that pain. It was just there. Constantly eating away at me. It was almost as if I needed that scratch. To show me that things heal. But then I found out something. Its addictive. You wouldn't think so. Oh but it is. I cut myself at first because it hurt not to. (which makes sense to me but I doubt it does to anyone else) but then I started cutting simply to cut. You get numb to it after awhile. Like anything else you do, after you do it a bunch of times you just get used to it. It doesn't hurt anymore to do it. No one knows..."
Poguers Journal:February 27th:
"....I think he saw them when I talked to him today. I hope he didn't. My parents haven't noticed them. Which surprises me since I wear tank tops around the house. But I have been able to either hide them or talk my way out of the questions..."Neglect becomes my ally"."
Poguers Journal:March 3rd:
"....Yup. He noticed. He asked to see them. I showed him my arms. They are riddled with cuts, the entire length of both of them. Pain in his eyes...I realize then, that my actions really don't affect just me."
Now: For your information these are actual journal entrees. But just so you know. I am still depressed. I still think about death for the most part but that's kind of ebbing away. I told my parents I would like to see a therapist. Because I know all of this is rather sad and twisted. I haven't cut in a long while. At least a month or so from today's date....I long to do it. But I promised not to...so I do the lesser of two evils. I snap a rubber band on my wrist when I need to suppress strong emotions of anger or pain. I know that still isn't healthy or good but its apparently better then cutting. I try to keep my mind off of such things by keeping busy. But I am extremely depressed at the moment. I seem to keep losing friends, they are leaving. My confidante is leaving....I tell her mostly everything when I really need to think or get something out. Since the person I told most things to asked me to stop. So I went to her for advice instead of him. Which is alright I guess. I really didn't have a choice. I wasn't about to ruin whatever shred of friendship I had left with him. She didn't seem to mind. I'm going to miss her something terrible. She doesn't leave for another two days and I already ache. I had another friend betray my trust recently and treat me like garbage. Such frustrations. I don't want to forgive her. Though I know I should. Ironically, I'm happier nowadays then I was before. It may not sound like it by reading this. But I am.
hello darkness, my old friend...
- The greatest harm can result from the best intentions
- Passion rules reason
- There is magic in sincere forgiveness, the magic to heal. In forgiveness you grant, but more so, in forgiveness you receive
- Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie.
- The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason
- Life is the future, not the past.
- Deserve victory.
- A contradiction cannot exist in reality. Not in part, nor in whole
- Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self.

Random thoughts and insights.
"All around me are familiar faces...Worn out places, worn out faces. Bright and early for the daily races, Going nowhere, going nowhere...Hide my head I wanna drown my sorrow...No tomorrow, no tomorrow....And I find it kinda funny, I find it kinda sad...The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had...."
Some days I don't remember what I did or if I even did anything at all. I find it hard to remember to eat. Something that ironically I shouldn't have to focus on but I do now. I have gone a couple of days without actual food and just drank water. Which isn't good at all. But I have to remind myself to eat. I find it weird that I should have to do that. I also find it interesting that when I drive and I'm tired I can never remember how I got from point A to point B....scary thought.
Allergies suck.
Having no trust in anyone makes life very lonely.
So when a friend betrays your trust...are you to simply forgive them? Or do you give them their righteous punishment...why must I always take in everything bad that happens. Why for once can't I find someone to confide in who wont throw my friendship out the window.
Life is a storm, you will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a person is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout, "Do your worst, for I will do mine!"
Life style choices should be made for yourself, not what others impose on you or what others tell you is right. If you have any common sense, you will understand what things are important and why. You'll use that rational and make right choices. It really isn't that hard to make a good choice. When you really think about it choices where you have to choice between right and wrong aren't that at all. Its choosing between what is right and what is easy. Making the right choice isn't always the easiest but in the long run the most worthwhile.
Qualifications and competence are not the same thing.
I don't know why anyone would read these. They are random and pointless. Just thoughts that stray into my noggin when I'm typing. So when that happens I just write them down or save them for later. I find it interesting and slightly sad that I am so closed that my friends and family have to read my blog to actually get to know me. What a shame. Its not their fault that its this way. Its mine. And for the life of me I cant figure out why I am this way. Kevin says its a defense mechanism for me, so that I wont allow myself to either be hurt or lose control of my emotions. And for the most part I agree with that observation. Mainly because its true. I hate looking vulnerable, which to me would be letting my emotions show. And being hurt is never fun. I think most people have barriers up in that area of their life. Some people have gotten the impression, recently, that I'm a "cold fish". And I cant really blame them for feeling that way. I look at a situation with as much rational as I can. And that tends to offend people that I wont try to be more empathetic. Which women are mostly recognized for are their empathetic natures. Which is a pro and a con all in itself.
Life is like a hot bath. It feels good while you’re in it, but the longer you stay in, the more wrinkled you get.
And now that its almost 4 in the morning, I think that I am finished. And no Kristie. I wont stop writing simply because you read them and comment.

whatever
Letting go.
I have never said this to anyone. Not like this. Fully letting it out. In a way its a relief but at the same time I am terrified of the potential of someone reading my inner most feelings. Not many people get this insight of me and its scares me. I have cried for countless days about this topic. I try to avoid it at all possible. Since I know that if I get started I'll start crying. I dislike crying, it makes my nose run and my face blotchy,but alas it is currently that way. To be honest, I miss the way he'd look at me and touch me. Like I was something wonderous and important. Something meaningful. Like I actually meant something. Instead of this dead drone of existance that I now have made for myself. I wish I wasn't so lonely. I have realized though that I cant keep all of this in like I have for the last ten months or so. I know it isn't healthy to bottle such strong emotions...but I cant let anyone in. Not that I'd want to again. I know I should seek councel. That would probably be the best thing for me. But I think that writing it out as I have will help releave the pain....we shall see.

Mask
I wear the mask that grins and lies,
It hides my face and shades my eyes,
With torn and bleeding hearts I smile,
I wear the mask for just awhile.(no this was not written by me)
