Apathetic

By definition, apathetic means showing no enthusiasm, interest, or concern for something.

In short? It means you don't really give a damn.

So often have I felt this way in my life, that it outweighs any other emotion put together. But when it's suddenly directed at me?

It's a shock. It's painful. I'd rather be treated with anger or sadness, or love at best. But apathy is cruel. Insensitive.

First came the euphoria of knowledge. Then came the sweetness of old times. Desire for the unknown came next, leading to unfortunate anger. This all ending up in apathy. Not on my part. On his.

Somehow I'm stuck in a wicked dimension of sorts. Somewhere between the little, innocent school girl I was and the matured, seductive woman I was bound to become.

I lust for the innocence we once had. The naivety of unspoken desires, quiet flirtations. The chivalry of it all. But I crave the renewed emotions. The open admiration and flirting. The intensely sweet gestures of kindness. The laughter, the same shared dreams.

And somehow we got here. Somehow everything has turned apathetic. No longer the young crush. No more of the rekindled passion.

Just apathy.

Slates

Seeing a different point of view is different for me...looking through his eyes has changed my outlook on the past, present, and possibly even the future. Had I only known then what I know now. Would our lives be the same? Or would they be different entirely... The things that plague my thoughts. The worries that disturb my dreams... Can I learn to just accept them?

No. I believe I'm done trying to fit all my eggs into one basket. They always end up breaking in the end, leaving me with a sticky mess that erases the paint off my neatly painted walls of the life I've struggled to make for myself.

I'm tired of the blame game. I'm tired of my independence being reigned in... I need to get back to the basics of me. For her sake. For my sake. For the sake of love.

Here's to hope for new beginnings and a new start.

Wiping the slate clean in order to find the truth.

I may not be the victor of the battle, but I will conquer the war.
