I'm wayyyy too driven for my own good. I know I have to make this work, but dammit, I have too much riding on myself.
I promise, I'll be as in-depth as possible as soon as I can. For now, though, I don't want the pipeline starting up.
FAQ
Q: Do you have a crush?
A: Sort of.
Q: What do you mean, sort of?
A: I don't get crushes anymore, mostly because of bad past experience. I don't allow myself to get obsessed with everyone and I always question myself before becoming emotionally involved, and I rarely do anymore. I think this is a more mature level of myself than the me who had crushes, but I am interested in someone.
Q: Who is it?
A: I can't say until I act upon it.
Q: Do I know them?
A: Out of people who may read this diary, two of you.
Q: What makes this any more valid than your four crushes in freshman year, your one dating experience in sophomore year, or your earlier one this year?
A: One, it's attainable. I don't feel like I'm a million leagues away from the person in question, and I'm not talking Jules Verne style. I've had bad experiences with flirting, so I can say that I'm not doing that overtly. I'm not at all involved with their social group, so there's no bother there. Aside from that, I've seen a social group, and I've seen it's dysfunctions. I've seen what I wanted and I've seen it fall apart, and I'm much more down to earth than I was some months ago.
Q: What the fuck?
A: Yeah, I know. Thing is, you hear "we went on a date this" or "she's so fantastic" that and it just pounds on your mind, y'know? Plus, there's a lot of pure jealousy towards some of my better-liked friends.
Q: Again, what the fuck?
A: Oh, fuck you. I'm a teenager, and I refuse to have different views about everything.
