Thank you everyone. I know I was being silly but I guess it catches up with all of us now and again.
One of the problems, I think is that I'm so damned isolated. Because of the kind of life I've led I have a lot of friends but they're all so bloody far away. And I know that some of them would be here in an instant for me (well a couple of hours travelling) but I'm not going to ask them to because they have lives and worries of their own
I suppose that's why i let it out on here because you're all great but you can't drop everything and come rushing in so you won't feel obliged to or guilty if you don't.
I was sitting on the train yesterday and looking at all the people around me and thinking how different I am to them all. That made me realise that I'm different to so many people there really isn't much chance of finding someone like me or even someone who accepts me as I am, are enough like me to provide me with the stimulation I need from a relationship (Not that kind of stimulation I mean someone who is on the same wavelength) I have had dates with people who ket freaked out just walking into my house.
I spent a third of my life being someone different on the outside than on the inside, being afraid to be my real self, to show the world who I am. Now that I have the courage to do that I'm not compromising for anyone. I don't mean that I won't compromise within a relationship... that's stupid and destructive; what I mean is that I am not pushing what I am on the inside again. i am not going to or pretend to stop believing what I believe and doing what I do. If you don't like my blue hair I am not going to dye it. If you don't like my skulls and dakness (especially the goth dolls which are my joy and the paintings I have all around... well you've seen them so you know) I am not going to pack them all up and put them in the attic. That's the kind of thing
I am a witch and a druid and I read tarot and have a crystal ball and do candle magic and celebrate the festivals. I have ghosts in my house who I like having around and am not about to force out. I have black cats and cauldrons and a view of the world that can be offputting. And i love it.
I love the way I live. I love my life. I just wish someone loved me and could share it.
I'm not depressed about it though. My life is very full and on the whole I am very happy. it's just that every now and again... you know...
