  Tuesday and Emotionalities

Tuesday afternoon and it is almost time for me to go home. Well, go to Wes’ anyway. Wish that the weather would make up its mind, though. It is going back and forth between sunny and cloudy, but staying very cool. Not liking it in the least bit.

Some good news. I was finally extended the offer for the CDA I position I had posted for awhile back. Very happy about it. And it looks like things are going pretty fast too as far as the turn over. In less than two weeks I will be starting in the new position, and starting part of my training next week. I am so ready for it! Now to just start trimming out some of the stress so that I can keep my mood swings down to a minimum. But a new car, a new job position, what more can I ask for? A boyfriend would be a nice addition.

Speaking of the mood swings… I finally told my roommate some of the issues that I had been going through/dealing with. Several weeks ago, I had asked a guy if he wanted to date, and he had to hold back from saying yes. Being somewhat of an empathy, I managed to pick up on the emotional changes going on and thought it was a good time. I knew that it was a pretty good time for me; I was willing to commit again. Well, we went through a few weeks of discussing, not discussing, leaving things sort of up in the air. My emotions started going a little haywire, causing me to get jealous and the usual stuff. Did not make me very happy. There were repeated discussions, but nothing that actually put things out into definites. Finally last week we had THE discussion. Have you ever realized that it can be hard for an emotional person and an analytical person to communicate? Locating that common ground for the discussion is not always easy. Needless to say, I will probably still be feeling a little rough for a few more days, but it doesn’t mean that I am going to stop loving this guy for the world. I know that he has a lot that he is going through right now in his own right; I just want to make sure that he knows that I will be there for him, always.

Which brings me back to my roommate. He isn’t fully understanding why I would keep myself in such an emotional escapade, especially knowing how strong my feelings can get at times. Like I have told both of them, all I can do is just watch the ball and see what direction it gets rolled. I have an old friend of mine that I have always had feelings for, but the timing never seemed to get perfect, so we stayed along as friends. And that is good because he seems to be very happy with his current boyfriend. They celebrated their first year several months ago. Just because I am not dating/being exclusive/however you wish to define it, it is not going to mean that I am just going to abandon the feelings I have for either of these people. I love myself, I know what I am able to contribute to anything, and I know what I am able to handle on top of the various things that currently run through my life. If someone wishes to feel considerate and not add, then that is fine. But I am refusing to let it drag me back down into the depths that I had been before. Hell, this time I think my depression period was pretty minimal. I have made my comments, but I am aiming not to detract from what I have now.

As long as I can remain friends, and enjoy the times that I have with my friends, that is the best thing that I can ask for. I just need to try to pull the patience horse back into my ownership and let him lead around, instead of corralling him deep in the corners of my mind. Perhaps a little patience will bring me the desire that so strongly beats within my heart and soul. Perhaps.

I like the metaphorical analysis. Deep.
 
AiDn, I hear you loud and clear about the emotion vs. analytical discussion. I'm in a relationship of 5 weeks now which is amazing, but Michael is soooo much more analytical than me. And we haven't had that discussion yet because I don't know when the right time is. I don't want to jump the gun, talk to him from my heart and risk freaking him out, but at the same time, I can't keep sitting here, biting my tongue, wondering where we are as a couple. We work well together because we balance each other out, but sometimes, I wish I knew how to talk to him better.

If you find the key, throw it my way... and I'll do the same...
 
OMG, I feel for you there - I had a similar situation with a friend of mine - loved him with all my heart and could feel that he felt the same and at the same time he wasn't really ready for a relationship. Drove me crazy for at least a couple of years. I'm a couple of years removed from the madness of it all and I appreciate that things turned out the way they did and I haven't loved the guy any less.

Anyway, I don't really have any words of wisdom, but at least I feel for you!
 
Congrats on the new position and new car! :)

Ian, you are too sweet and adorable to deal with someone pushing aside the commitment issue, even as a conversation. You may have intense feelings for him, but obstacles can be worked out when both are willing to work at it. Don't get hurt buddy..try and move on, there is a world of wonderful guys out there just waiting to meet you :) Life is too short to let something like this get you down.

*hugz*
 
I ususally spend the vast majority of my single life looking for mr. right or pretending not to. i have had two MAJOR relationships and both came when i really stopped looking, focused on my goals, myself, and learned to find solace in my soul not others. btw i am Mr. Analytical. I am currently truly enjoying my life with me but it seems i may have been caught off guard by the THIRD guy who knoiws. i just enjoy things as they go. if we don't end up together long term we will be great friends because i would not settle for less in a bf these fays. that is the trick.

P.S. Never stop wearing your emotions on your shoulder because analytical guys find it sexy if a little scary at times. good luck
 
I want to read your blog and truly enjoy it, but my browser has been hijacked by Kelly Clarkson. And when I try to stop the video, it just starts over.

I see you're from Wilmington. I used to live in Raleigh. I loved NC.

Randomness...the true order of the world.

Travel the world in one day, rest your legs beside the sea; hope the people that you meet, will friends forever be. Okay..so that was a little random. But so is life. You never know when all the luck is going your way, or if the rabbit's foot is going to turn bad. I haven't been around the world, except in my reading and movies. I stay outta politics, prefering to be neutral territory. Friends who are in trouble come to see me; when I get into trouble, I stay retreated into secrecy. But I make time for all of it. I believe strongly in being yourself...that is the only way that you will truly be happy. Do what is right for you, you can only live life once. Don't get lost in the depths of my mind....
