I Don't Know





You can’t move on with your life until you let go of the past.

Shitty cliché be damned I totally agree with this.
Sunday night I was writhing in memories. I couldn’t sleep. I spent the entire night thinking of the one girl I’ve loved. Missing her so much yet wishing I could just move on.
Every time a person likes me I find reasons to not like them. I find a way to duck out and not make it work.
Maybe I just want to be miserable?
Maybe I don’t believe I deserve true happiness?
Maybe the person really just isn’t good enough?
Or maybe I’m just still clinging to my past.
I sit up at night dreaming of a future I know damn well will never come true. The romantics would tell me to never give up but the realists remind me that she is a homophobe.
I told my story at USGA tonight. I didn’t do it to receive sympathy, we were just sharing coming out stories that we regretted, but people came up and told me how sorry they were.
I guess I’m sorry too. But I honestly don’t know. I just got off the phone crying to my mother and really that was all I could say, is that I didn’t know.
I don’t know how to move on with my life. But I also don’t know how to not dream about the life I’ve wanted so much.
I don’t know how to have a meaningful relationship without running away.
I don’t know if I like this girl or not. Or if I’m trying to convince myself to like her because I think I’m convincing myself to not like her.
I don’t know how gender plays such a role for people.
I don’t know what I want. Do I want to be left alone or do I need my friends?
I don’t know if I can continue on at BYU but I don’t know if I could ever actually quit.
I’m just so confused and no one has answers.

  1. Hugs, Dupree. I wish I had answers for you, but, as you said, I don't. All I can say is that the cliche is true and somehow it happened in my life. I didn't think I could move on, but eventually I did. And now I'm very happy. It didn't happen quickly for me and I think you have plenty of reasons to be confused. But I believe in you. I don't know much past that, but hopefully what little I know is a small comfort.

  2. I'm sorry, honey : ( I wish I had answers too. No one does, and I'm learning that reconciling with that fact is one of the hardest parts of life. I love you, and I love reading your questions and empathizing with you completely. Good luck, lovey.

  4. Hello there! Quick question that's completely off topic. Do you know how to make your site mobile friendly? My web site looks weird when browsing from my iphone4. I'm trying to find a template or plugin that might be
    able to resolve this issue. If you have any recommendations, please share.

    Cheers!
