It seems that I'm scared to let go, and truly be myself. I hate that most of my conversations are about the weather, or general topics... but its as if I can't move past that.
I desire to know and be known, but relationships will never develop if I'm not willing to put forth the effort.

It was so nice when the electricity was out and it was quiet, and we talked. Just getting together to sit and talk, not letting the world make an impression, us depending on it for that connection. It seems that really makes a difference. Not worry ing about tomorrow or the next 'big thing' why can't we enjoy today and right now?
(this didn't really happen I made it up from what Laura told me about Scott coming over and talking to them, and how nice and quiet it was here when the lights went out and how dumb it is of me to be so obsessed with project runway. I may think its just a show but when it takes over your life like it does mine sometimes, thats when it has gone too far and interrupts the real life and relationships.) whew, sry for blah-blahing but I guess l think all the interruptions we have get in the way? What do you think about this?
I think you're so, so right. There are so many *other* things to do nowadays and those things just get in the way of relationships. It was awesome to come over and hang out with you the other day for that simple reason: it was us, some pictures, and tea. :) We didn't have to deal with interruptions, or outside distractions. It was awesome to just sit, have good conversation, and really get to know you. :) That's what I lack, I think. When people get together now, it seems like it's at a movie, or some event where it doesn't require talking... and that is SO sad. If it's not Project Runway, it's something else... CSI is my "interruption"... :)
Besides interruptions... I know personally, my own selfishness gets in the way. If I want real relationships of trust, I have to invest time. That's hard for me to do sometimes...
P.S- You can do as much "blah blahing" as you want on my site. :D I love reading your comments!
