Resolutions and Judges

I thought I was past writing. That I didn't need it anymore. Much like an antibiotic that you disregard after your first symptoms leave you.




I knew before now, or I felt atleast, that I missed this. But I worried.




I worried what I meant that I had neglected it. I worried (now, this sounds dumb.) what you would think of me. All maybe two of you that read this. I worried about being judged.

"Sleep with all your lights on. You're not so happy. You're not secure."


I'm sorry if you were diligent. And looked back regularly to see what was on my mind. Because I should've been writing.




So now I sit here. Things I've felt now having crept back to my head. Having an undiffusable frown and a weight on my shoulders. And to be... Well, stereotypical. I am listening to Dashboard Confessional on Vinyl.



Maybe sometimes, you need to feel sad. And alone. And without a cause. To remind you of what you really believe in. Be it changing lives in little ways everyday or fighting a war that seems worth waging.



I cleaned my apartment today. I tossed old things and cleaned away dust. In the literal sense. But in the metaphorical one too.



I guess you just can't be something you're not. I'm a lonely boy when I play homebody. And I admire every shameless hipster seeking kin in dingy local brooklyn bars. They atleast know what they are. And who they are.



My co-worker was fired today. He was combative and sensative. He tried hard. But he fought all the battles not worth fighting. I hope he finds his way.



"College nights. Troubled crowds."


I've lost my way. And I hope I can find it back. 3 months ago, I hated where I was, and who. But atleast I was sure.


The site never got up. Its something I don't like to think about.

You're back!

I love to read you're writing, but its bittersweet. I hoped that the reason you stopped writing was because, as you said, you didn't need to.

We all go through lonely times. I'm sure you'll get through it. I wait for the day you post a goodbye message to the lonelyboy moniker.

I wish that I had come across your blog/project/writing before you wrote what seems to be your last entry...Your words are beautiful. I feel came across this just way too late. I devoured every single entry in a day. Let me know that you're still out there writing beautiful things, and whether or not you are still lonely?
