hello.
im not gonna make this cutesy. merry christmas. a few months from now ill look back onto the date of my journals, letters, posts from this time of year and will feel more christmas spirit than i ever did this week. anyhow.
im in a helltrip with my parents through beautiful bible belt and im not exactly having fun. we went to the aquarium and to the coca cola thing, i felt sick. ive had a piece of chicken, green juice and a slice of pizza in these three days. on christmas eve i was sure i wanted to marry him but now i am not. then again, who am i to chase bigger things? by instinct, it seems my first thought was to say that every time i have done that it has ended up wrong. the fact is i have never tried. only once or twice trying to get a new friend group. ended horribly, i still think about it, i guess you never know. maybe it was my strategy. maybe i need to plan things out better. i cant. hes good, i just feel the world is still my oyster but i know its not.
my heart has been poisoned by cynicism. its all ive ever known. i was so bitter as a child. i feel im condemned to go outside for a cigarette and get bored of nature, or draw myself a hot bath and get bored 5 minutes after the fact. i feel im doomed to always be bored and miserable. i know that after a year and change, if someone has read this far, i should have gone to a shrink or something. i wont, i cant trust these people with my secrets, i cant trust myself to tell the full truth either. i cant be fully vulnerable, not even with myself.
not even here. i have this secret i cant say because lest nobody every reads this- nobody i know- im doomed forever. about relationship thing. not the previous secret. its slipped and nobody who could hurt me with it knows besides my mother. she wants to call his mother about it. i dont know if she only hasnt done it because she doesnt have the balls to do it or because she really couldnt care less. i think she thinks i was exaggerating. again, over. i will never retrieve myself. ive always wanted this person and this person circles around me like a vulture.
my dear mother got me a beautiful glittery shimmering fountain pen for christmas the color of caramel. its so beautiful. ive been getting into the hobby. my beautiful boyfriend got me a cigarette holder and an old case from a perfume i adore.
and i know we cant have each other even if the circumstances were right because if they were i would want them gone. i wouldnt have them touch me, at all. i just wanted to feel special again, i know that. i want to infiltrate their dreams and drive them to insanity. but my feelings are mostly pure. again, following me around and haunting me.
i watched nosferatu today, the 1979 version of it. i was so excited about watching eggers version opening night but ill be in fuckass memphis. i cant watch it here because my stupid ass forgot my glasses. i did that on some purpose because i promised to watch it with him. i regret my decision now. poor dracula wants love. the absence of love is the most abject pain, he says. stupid mina says that only one can save himself. he is tricked and seduced by her. albeit he was already completely obsessed with her. she does this in order to keep him by his bed until the sunrises and they both fade into nothingness. not fun. ive always wanted some nosferatu film where evil reigns, on some part, where the heroine is corrupted. love is corrupting. where the virginal status of mina is exchanged, where she chooses to live deliciously, say. not like twilight. differently. i think thats what the audience wants, to see the corruption of a virgin as to feel justified in their own perversions and impurities. maybe audience is only me but still.
its such a good movie, i took a little nap and had a strange dream. its so dreary and sparkling, surreal. loved it.
i wish eternal love existed. i wish i could be romantic but how can i be when love involves such gross things. i dont want intimacy to be being able to watch each other go to the bathroom or be able to wake up next to someone with morning breath and loving them nonetheless. i want love to be all consuming, i want to be so deep in it i accidentally die of starvation. i want passion to mean skipping events to enjoy each other. why does love of all things have to be rational and tainted by ugly, disgusting life. why does one have to clip passions wings. i want to be chosen by a strange and special creature and wanted. why do i have to accept the simple and mundane.
i guess im only with him here in this weird and ugly world. in a perfect, clean world it would not be like this. of course i love him deeply, but this is not what i wanted love to be. why is everything so ugly.
at least my gpa is at 3.8 for now. something tells me next semester it will be at 4.
happy holidays
