Well, I got dumped in a sense. Not dumped by a
girlfriend thank goodness, but from a relationship before it
started. I think she did it for my sake, for my own good. She feels
that I would end up hurt later on if I went out with her, because it
wouldn't last. I would eventually get tired of it and break up, or I
would just bite my lip and try to live through it. I know she cares
too much about me to let that happen. But basically she said the
things that you would normally expect a girl to when she's dumping
you, but not wanting you to be sad.
She said she doesn't want me to think about her that much. She
wants me to find some other local girl for me to date. So basically
I should stop liking her that way and start liking someone else.
Someone whom I will be happy with obviously, meaning I won't be happy
with her. Now, I don't date just for fun, expecting to end it
sometime. I date to find a future wife. So I won't go out with
anyone unless I think that I may marry them someday. With that in
mind, if I were to go out with someone else besides Kelli, then I
would have to totally disregard any thoughts of wanting to go out
with her for me to be able to start liking someone else. I would of
course hope that the relationship would last to marriage, and would
give it my all to ensure it does. And if it did not last, or work
out with them, I don't think I could start liking Kelli that way
again. I can't just go back and forth between liking people to that
extent. It would be a big depressant to love someone, hoping it
lasts forever, and then it just ending. If that were to happen, I
would be very careful to make sure that the next person I date will
last, since I don't want to go into a relationship if I know it will
fail. I couldn't handle the heartbreak from every relationship.
People might think I'm weird being this way, or maybe they think I
should just take dating less seriously. Well maybe so, but no matter
how weird it is, it doesn't change the fact one bit that it's how I
am. If anything, this will probably make her on my mind even more;
at least for the time being.
I told her that if she died, I wouldn't go out with anyone for a
long time. She asked why. I thought the answer would be obvious, but
I guess it's only obvious to me since it's normal for me. Try to
think of this: Imagine you are a very talented artist and you are
working on the drawing of a lifetime. You expect it to take 30+
years to finish. You are partway done with it and it is looking very
good. You put most of your time and effort into it. You look back
and see certain parts of it that you had trouble with, and then you
remember drawing that part so many days ago, weeks even. Maybe
months. You can tell stories about the trouble you had during
certain parts of the picture, and it brings back many memories. You
often just sit back and look at what you have done so far. You want
to finish it, but you want it to take a long time. Then there is a
fire and it burns up. Do you want to start a new one? Personally I
wouldn't want to. Or would you want to start drawing a large one
like this knowing you won't get to finish it? Nope. This example is
the best way I can describe how I feel about going out. In high
school I had the attitude that "I like her and I want to go out with
her." Not anymore.
In other news, I threw up last night. What fun. I took my
temperature this morning and it was at 98.6. So I guess I'm not
sick, but that means that something else made me throw up. I ate
mashed potatoes, peas, and turkey for dinner. I didn't have anything
else that would upset my stomach. I don't know what did it, but I
felt really dizzy too; enough to where it was hard to stand
straight. Oh, and I've only had alcohol once in my entire life and
it was at a wedding in 1 glass of champagne. And I've never done
drugs of any type, not even tobacco. So don't go thinking I was
drunk or high, lol.
I hope to talk to Kelli today because she said that she would
explain something later and I didn't get to get on last night. I
really want to know what she has to say, and I really hope it is
some good news. Maybe something that explains all this to where it
isn't nearly as bad as I think it is. We'll see what happens, I'll
just wait until then.
