Conversations... With the wrong person? - Lauren

Sorry to make a second post. This only just got to me.

Sometimes... When I talk to people like Nilsa or Montanna... we get into these really deep, or really personal conversations, about who we like, or family, or friends, or just things going on in out lives. Which is awesome, I love having those conversations. I think it's really important that we do, because I might go crazy without talking about some of that stuff. but... Sometimes I can't help feeling as if I were talking to the wrong person. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I don't want to talk to them or have the conversations, but... Aren't these conversations you're supposed to have with your best friend? I haven't had one of these with her Except about our problems with eachother for over a year, and real ones, that weren't affected by whatever weirdness she's going through and her cell phone ringing for texts every 30 seconds (She answered too) for far longer. I miss her, as she used to be. I miss US as WE used to be. She avoids talking to me sometimes because she can't deal with the drama. It's like she forgot that I'm not all drama, that there is a huge part of me that hates drama, and would LOVE to talk about other things, and an even bigger part that just loves her and wants to talk about ANYTHING with her, even if it's the weather. She's my best friend and my sister, but sometimes I really wonder how close we are anymore, and it breaks my heart because I really... I don't know what I would do without her, who I would be... When I promised Best Friends Forever, I meant it. I wonder sometimes if she did. I love her, and I know she has a lot of problems, but she won't tell me ANYTHING. I understand it's not in her nature to share everything, but she's always said I was the exception, and I was until recently. She won't even tell me when she's got a new girlfriend, or a broken heart, or is sick, or in the hospital, and all of those things happen a lot. I love my best friend, I need her, but it's like she's moved on without me, leaving me begging for her to come back, and she just Won't. She says she's here and won't go anywhere, but even when she's Here she's distant and evasive. And it really doesn't help that It's been over a year since I saw her. I was rather down on the fourth because All I could think about was being with her last fourth of july and seeing fireworks, and getting our faces painted, my mother took us but we ignored her for the most part. I just.... I miss her so much, and sometimes I wonder if I even cross her mind at all when I'm not bothering her constantly...

Bittersweet - Lauren

It's always sad when a friend leaves. I have a friend who's moving to Florida in a few days, and yesterday was probably the last day the three of us will hang out. See, we like to go on adventures. We went to Barton Springs then adventured around Austin. It was really fun. =D But, it's bittersweet. I'm really going to miss these when he moves. Montanna and I have to find a new third who can drive us around, but it won't be the same. I'm gonna miss him. =( He's coming back to visit in December, but still. I hate that anytime I get close to someone new they tend to just leave. >> It's sad, and it sucks.

On another note... Almost Potter Camp! =D

Missing Her - Lauren

It's been a year now since I last saw my best friend. She came down last June and stayed for three weeks. I miss her so much... She's my best friend, my sister, my shoulder to lean on when things get rough, she's like my other half, and I miss her so much... I would do anything to have her back here and away from her hateful parents. I want her back here with me. <\3 she should be here. It's where she belongs. And now... Instead of sending her down for some part of the summer her dad wants us to wait till Christmas break? And I don't know if I see my dad being cool with that. She's my sister, being with her on Christmas would be the greatest, but my dads very big on family time. Which is good generally, but I consider Sam some of my closest family, and he does not. >> I don't want to have to wait until Christmas time to maybe see her... I want my best friend back. Now.

How does this happen? - Lauren

What do you do when one of the people closest to your heart honestly tells you that talking to you is pissing her off?

Shea's been ignoring everyone since summer started, and we've all been seriously worried about her. She won't talk to most people, and when she does it's short 1-3 word texts which on a general basis she hates. We all know something's wrong, but she Wouldn't tell anyone. I talked to her today all cheerful and wanting to see her, and she tells me talking to me is pissing her off and this: "And I'm not going to the park tomorrow, despite being free, because that's all your friends, and I'm well aware of the fact that they would much prefer to not talk to me. I don't care anymore, Lauren. I just don't." and Logs off. I talked to Marlena and she said she'd talked to Shea earlier that day and she said that Shea "basically feels unwanted and ignored. She thinks people intentionally exclude her." even though I keep inviting her to things and every time i talked to her i said i wanted to see her. I don't understand her tantrum, Me, Jenny, Joe, Gerda, Dylan, we've all been wanting to talk to her, but she won't, and I don't understand how she feels ignored when she's ignoring us.

I really don't know how to feel or what to do when someone I really cares about decides I suck and I'm not worth talking to. It really, seriously sucks, and I feel like crap because of it. I don't know what to do, there's really nothing I can do, but sit here and wait.

I hate waiting.

I hate feeling like this.

I need a break from the break...
