: To let it out again
It has been sometime again since I have poured my thoughts onto this blank journal. I have changed so much, some for the better and some for the worst. Looking back at these older entries I see my love life jump up and down left and right. I guess I figured the chaos would never end. Tonight I am here to talk about my past, present, and future. The only real way to get out what I feel about myself, and the one I love is to say it here.
In the past I have made many mistakes that I am not proud of. I have been through things I would never want to go through again, seen love in many ugly forms. I would rather be alone before ever experiencing those again. One of my major mistakes that i really wanna get out of the way before it makes me lose everything in the world that I could ask for, is not trusting the one person who has fought, and worked so hard to make me trust in him, and believe I could be a better person. Joshua, I can only say that I am sorry for the way I have acted. We have both not been perfect, but at the same time I truly believe that I have been way out of line. I am not taking all the blame, because I believe that if a relationship isn't working, its because both parties are equal in whatever is causing the problem. Tonight I wanna clear my slate, and take my blame with and open mind and heart. I love you Joshua, you mean the world to me. Aggravating, or hurting you is something I never wanted to do. I told and promised you that i wanted you to be happy, and that is still the only thing I ever want. I have been placing the blame from past events that had absolutely nothing to do with you. You have said to me time after time the truth about numerous subjects, and not once did I really breath it in. You have against your wishes held my hand through some of the most frustrating times in these past 7 months. I have made it so hard for you to even have a chance to prove to me that you are completely capable of not breaking my heart. Most of all, I never walked into this relationship giving you the benefit of the doubt, "trust starts off neutral" thats what you taught me. I believe its true, I started off on the wrong side of that belief. For all these things I owe you and apology, and a thank you, for both your time and patience.
With that being said, both change, and difference are scary pieces of life, but they are 2 of the most important cornerstones of any relationship. Without them you cannot make a new future, and without them you cannot learn to love in a new way that doesn't hurt. I know right now in your mind there is plenty of doubt. I accept this with an open mind, and heart because I have promised you so many times that it will get better, and it has not improved any. I understand, and I am sorry that it has taken this much for me to open my eyes. I wanna say I will try, but trying is something I should have been doing these past 6 months before. Its time to just do, let go of myself, and my past to move forward to make things better for us, but more importantly myself. I wanna take this time in my moment of realization to do something I would have never done, and even though they cannot hear me now, it will give me the piece of mind I need to settle the wounds in my past. Paul, Aaron, Joey, and Ricky. Out of the relationships I have had you are the ones who took and broke the biggest pieces of my heart. I just wanna say that I forgive you for what you have done to me, and that its time to let go, and let someone else fix the damage you have caused. My love invested in each of you was not done in vein. I took with me a stronger more aware sense of love, and pride in myself. Unfortunately I have allowed those pieces to build an impossible set of walls. I thought I would be safe if I made someone work extra hard to break through them, when really the one who needed to knock them down was me. "Trust in earned not given" I was also taught that as well by you Josh. The truth is, you have done many wonderful things to earn my trust, and its is well deserved. I was selfishly protecting myself, not allowing you in because I assumed that you didn't know how to handle true love. I was just looking from the wrong angle, your love is different and not easily recognized like the love I had come to know before. I didn't know if it was a front or if it was the real deal. When you came over tonight I looked into your eyes and saw something that I have never wanted to see, your heart being torn apart. I never want to see that again.
Getting this all out is my realization, my change, and my step towards the future that will better me. Letting go and working to understand new ways of love, and working in the old ones slowly in time so that I may still have that sense of love that I once knew before. It will take time and plenty of patience, but i know in my heart that is the goal that both of us want to reach. I am ready to start this new journey, and I am happy that I have the piece of mind to finally walk down this new path. With you by my side, i believe that anything want to achieve will be possible. I close this out leaving the old thoughts and fears on this page for anyone who reads it. Death to bad love, and to mistrust of the broken heart.
Love Always
