Boxes

Finishing high school and moving onto college is a complicated process.  So many missed opportunities because of my shyness and mistakes because of drama, pride, and carelessness.  I would definitely do it over again.

Sometimes I think of how life is, and I do not like what I think of.  But that's only sometimes.  The vast majority of the time, I'm just moving along.  The majority of the other time though (when I'm actually thinking for myself), I think that life is beautiful.

I still stand by my idea that I want to be an observer. I am afraid of love; I've realized it.  I'm afraid of boxes.  I'm afraid of anything that does not include me.  I am obsessed with the easy; I might have convinced myself that the ultimate goal of life is leisure (the word "leisure" is said with a soft e, not a hard e.  Like in "let", not "leaf").  I laugh often; mostly I am laughing AT something.  It just seems ridiculous.

I would like to think of myself as this super deep individual who can delve into his own mind and into silence.  I like to think of myself as a loner: I don't want your help.  I want to build and then only show you the result when it is either finished or magnificent.  I do not want you to see the work in progress; I am afraid you will condemn me.  I cannot be condemned until I have the finished product.  

There is this wonderful post on Hyperbole and A Half where the author expresses her bout with depression.  I feel like that is the sum total of my life so far: I have gone through some "terrible" experiences and come out the other side with this distinct outlook on life.  I am invincible because nothing can bring me that low again.  I always have knowledge: I can maintain my inner self no matter what you do to my outer body (theoretically).

I don't even know what I am doing here.  I feel rejected and loathsome.  I have embraced my role as the person who honestly dislikes the status of society but seeks its acceptance at the same time.  I just want to have food and drink and a place to chill and feel quiet.  I honestly dislike speaking to people.  I think it is super-frivolous, and I can only handle it for a little while.  

I have this issue, you see?  It's a confidence issue.  If people reject me, I feel ridiculously low and awful: it's the human condition.  So I have taught myself.  I would rather leave and go off on my own than try to fit into some small role.  I just don't belong here.  And the only reason that is true is that I don't WANT to belong here.  Don't put me in your little box.
