I can’t always be waiting, waiting on you
No, I can’t always be playing, playing your fool

They say the future is bought with the present
I keep trying to remind myself of that. This is seriously the week from hell. But I keep trying to focus on the future, reminding myself that it’ll all be worth it. While my friends are slacking off and having fun taking “interesting” classes, I am learning a trade. I am studying to be an engineer.
I’m so overwhelmed.
"Here's looking at you, kid"
I think I might be in love with my best friend. They kept telling me it would happen. But he had a thing with my roommate and she still has feeling for him. And I have no clue how he feels about me. He tells me all the time that I’m one of his favorite people and the way he looks at me sometimes… I don’t know. I. Don’t. Know.

Declaring my major today
I don’t know why but it feels like a really big deal to me. I’ve known what I want to do for a while now and I am incredibly passionate about my chosen field. But declaring it, making it official, somehow seems to say to the world, “This is who I am. This is what I am going to do”. And I know there’s plenty of other bioengineering majors out there but few of them are...

“I don’t quite know How to say How I feel Those three words Are said too much They’re not enough If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world? Forget what we’re told Before we get too old Show me a garden that’s bursting into life”

Feelin' around for fingers to get in between
Sometimes I just need someone to hold me. Yesterday was that kind of day. More than anything else, I needed someone to hold my hand. But as usual, I had to face the pain alone. I don’t want to be alone anymore.

Tomorrow is going to be a rough day
I feel myself start shaking uncontrollably again. My chest recalls the constant feeling of being constricted. Tears threaten to fall.
I don’t know if I can do this.

Relatively Related Ramblings
She asked me if I still like him and I said, “I don’t know, I don’t really think about it”. Her response? “Yeah, you’re good at that”.
On one hand, that’s not really true. I definitely do still like him. On the other hand, she’s right. I am really good at suppressing my emotions, locking them away until they either fade or come out in a fiery...
