Quick kiss of honesty.
In the-maitre-d-at-canal-bar on October 22, 2008 at 2:49 amI would start out saying, ‘I should come clean’, but to be honest, there isn’t anything to come clean about. I’m going to just spill my guts, and tell it how it is.
Molly;
You’re the girl that showed me that its okay to care about people above a fictional sense. You’re the girl that kept me up until the wee hours of dawn laughing about shit that probably isn’t funny to anyone else. You are my darling, the person I can see myself growing old with. Someone who–even if it’ll be a struggle because of our different views–I see myself raising children with, having a messy/clean house with, having fights with. I do want to have fights, I want to have everything with you. Your happiness has always been the most important. You don’t think you’re pretty at all, but I think you’re beautiful. You’re my best fucking friend. And nothing could ever change that.
And yet…
You get so down, you go to a place that it seems harder and harder to get you back from. You hurt so badly–sometimes over silly things. But I’d always be there, and always will be, to help you up.
And I just can’t stop crying, and I don’t want to stop, and I must be so pathetic, because, grimly, I realize I can use my own pain for a story–a fanfiction, maybe. And that’s what it always comes down to, doesn’t it? I can’t seem to want to stick in one reality long enough, I can’t seem to stick with staying in pain if its mine. And I try to make everything alright. I try to make everything perfect.
And maybe I try harder then I should. Maybe I cling so tightly because I think you’ll be like Daniel. Poor, poor mad Daniel I never tried to help him, I let him jump. Am I just clinging to you because I’m guilty? I do love you, that part isn’t a lie, but will I throw myself into a marriage because I’m trying to save someone who is already dead? And I’m not just talking about Daniel. You’re almost dead too.
Maybe I think you’ll be the only one because you seem to be the only one able to stick around after I went nuts–after I am nuts. You’d love me like my mother couldn’t.
And holy fuck, is it so easy to pretend to be happy, to make sure everyone thinks its okay. Good lord, I’m a horrible person. Is that I all do? Run away from everything?
I just want everyone to be happy. I just don’t want anyone to feel the way I had, or still do.
I’m not sure why, but I just love to act like nothing is wrong while I’m hysterical. Tears clouding my eyes, I replied to texts and IM’s like its all alright. Because it is alright. Being upset isn’t the end of the world. What difference would it make if I was crying my heart out or laughing my head off?
And the guilts fallen down.
And its a struggle to stay sad.
And I might as well ruin everyone around me and get over it, its what I do.
And I don’t know what to do or say.
And its hard to have something going on without be able to seek advice from your best friend.
Protected: Dressed in all your fancy clothes.
In the-maitre-d-at-canal-bar on October 1, 2008 at 2:38 amWhores; pterodactyls swarming.
In the-maitre-d-at-canal-bar on July 18, 2008 at 6:00 pmI’m getting pretty sick and tired of the missed used term of the word ‘whore’.
1. To have unlawful sexual intercourse; to practice lewdness.
When you sell yourself for money. And I’m getting real ticked off at everyone’s, “Oh I’m such a whore!” Yeah. Okay. Sure you are.
“Sorry, I scarred you, but that’s what happens when you fall in love with a whore.”
Guess again, sweetheart, you’re not a whore at ALL, so STFU.
“Example two: when she was at the rave, she would go up to RANDOM MEN, complete strangers at that, and would dance on them. Not with them, ON them.
Yea. She likes to act like she is some sort of whore.”
No. That’s not a whore. She’s fucking 13, what the hell does she know of sex?
What does everyone have against whores? I’m so sick and tired of everyone bringing the word into their vocabulary. I’m getting so fucking pissed off at how everyone just parades the word about like it’s fucking okay. So what does everyone have against whores?
Everyone has to make a living, don’t they?
Whores do not have sex because they want too, or because they want the feeling.
People, it’s about the money. THE MONEY. I’m on the verge of tears, practically sputtering with anger. Just shut up. Unless you know someone who actually is a whore, like I do, then you have no fucking right to even talk about it. And Lydia was one fine hell of a girl. She was never up front about what she did, never called herself a whore. Just said she had some business to take care of that lasted an hour in a hotel room.
“It’s like afterwards they can’t see me anymore. I could walk by them and they’d never notice. I’m invisible to most people…”
She was amazed that we had even seen her. Amazed. She said that usually nobody could see her, that we must’ve been special like her too, that she was surrounded by a bubble that only allowed people to glimpse her for a moment.
At seventeen she ran away from home, left school, to there, Alaska, and worked two jobs, living with five other people in a small apartment. Sometimes in her car.
She never threw herself at men. Never went looking for attention or sex or anything of that sort. She was just a cheerful twenty-five year old woman that believed in magic still, believed she was still able to make it out of there.
Just because any of you parade around flaunting yourself doesn’t make you a whore. It doesn’t make you anything. It’s the choices we make that decide what our futures will be like, and I can bet a shit load of money that you’ll never actually be what you idiots say you are.
You can talk shit all you want, have sex with as many people you can find, dress real tacky, have absolutely no self control or self respect and you’ll never know, never ever know, or have the privilege to call yourself a whore. It’ll never be a want, but a have to. A need to survive by giving away the only thing men want, what absolute strangers want–sex. There is no self benefit or great pleasure. You don’t even have to be pretty. But it doesn’t matter, because you’re hungry.
