Trapped Inside

How is it that some people you meet don't have a strong affect on you, but others can make you rethink your entire existence?

Trapped Inside

For years I have become numb to any kind of emotion. Even my family agreed I was heartless.

It felt like my heart disappeared on me. I was so scared I'd never feel anything again. Anytime I would try to explain this to someone they didn't much understand what I meant. I couldn't feel happiness, sadness, and even anger was dull. I know some of you may think this would be Heaven on Earth because you are always being hurt, but this honestly worried me.

I tried talking to multiple people to spark something in me, but it never worked. I ended up just dragging them along which wasn't fair so I stopped all together. I tried to do things that scared the crap out of me, but that didn't work either. I would watch or read the most sad things I could find, but no tears. Until...

Within recent months my heart decides to come back stronger than ever. I have met beautiful human beings that I thank God every day they were brought into my life. I am crying with happiness over moments in my life. I even started to feel for someone. Which actually brings me to my problem.

I've sank into a depression again because my heart is feeling so hurt. I know time is what manages this, but I am feeling so anxious and impatient about not feeling this hurt. I'm frightened I may stop feeling altogether again. Which would be amazing right now considering how low I am at the moment. I don't want this to take me down, but I can feel it swallowing me. Today I feel so trapped in my mind. I've tried almost everything to get me out, but I'm like a zombie.

How can a single human being affect another like this so strongly?

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
