single and waiting

Life in the single lane, is something most people experience at some point in their life. This is just my personal experience, that I thought I'd share with you all. Isaiah 40:31 "Those who wait for the Lord will gain new strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run and not get tired, they will walk and not become weak"

drowning in your feelings for someone else

Hey all

How are you all doing? Two blogs in one day, something must be up right? Well, as I continue to write my book and travel back down memory lane, a lot of old difficult situations come to mind, and a lot of old feelings come flooding back. Feelings of awkwardness, guilt, love…so many mixed emotions can be so hard to deal with. I guess that’s why I took up poetry. It allowed me to separate my feelings from each other, and write down a description of each individual feeling. But today, I’m going talk a little about having feelings for someone else.

Sometimes we let our minds be completely occupied with feelings for someone else. They are the only person you can think about, seven nights a week, you lay and think about them. Then you fall asleep and dream about them. Every time your phone beeps, you can’t stop smiling in the hope that it is he who has texted you. You check your email constantly, just in case he has emailed you, and you missed it. Or you sign on MSN and sit and wait for him to appear online, and start a conversation with him, beginning, “I didn’t see you there”. (total lies).

You walk about town, hoping to casually bump into him, and then…every guy you see, looks like him. You take a second look at every guy who passes by, secretly hoping that you will find the one you’re looking for. Even as you walk alone, you are in a daydream, dreaming of the impossible, of an unlikely future that you and this guy will never share.

Sound familiar? Perhaps not…but hey, if all our life experiences were the same, how boring would that be? We would never have anything to share. I don’t get a lot of feedback on my blog, but that’s ok. If it were to help just one other person, I would be truly grateful. I write this because it helps me. Writing it daily helps me to capture the true feelings of today. My poetry has helped me to remember old feelings that I had whilst writing them…I really should try and get back into that.

You know people. Sometimes writing down how you truly feel, helps you to understand what you are actually feeling. When you know that, you can begin to deal with it.

peace
