:: 6.1.06 ::

with previous "situations", i knew what to do. poop happens. but, get over it. move on. there'll be someone/something better. it's not worth my time to stress. but, that's not the case with this one. just when i thought i could put it all behind me, there was new information. i could have chosen to not know this information, but i had to know. no regrets, remember? well, now that i have this information, i'm not sure what to do with it or how to react. all i know is that it's eating me up and everything that i thought i had put behind me feels like fresh wounds. i think what's killing me most is that there is nothing i can do. why? why did i let myself get to this point - again?

it wasn't just curiousity that killed that cat. it was hope that made the cat think things were going to be all right.
