Minor disturbance

From the back of my phone memory

I feel like I've made a terrible error of judgment in my actions, and I can't stop rewinding to the moment I set myself up for it. 

You know when you make a conscious decision, riding on a gut feeling, that something is more trouble than it's worth? I never used to shy away from those decisions and I always used to follow heart over head. I think that's the main difference between how I am now, and how I was 18 months ago. I've clouded my world in cynicism and for anybody to get close to me intimately, it's just not reasonable to expect them to go to the lengths that they'd need to.

I know I've made the right decision. But for who? I wish I could regain that feeling of caring without fear, but I feel like it got snuffed out on an Iowan highway last summer. Still it shocks me to think just how suddenly the knives were sharpened. 

It wasn't the clouds this time, only the fields. You build yourself up inside and hope that things become simple, but just like they refused last April, I could make no sense of them here either. So you look out the window and watch the same optimism of hours before disappear with the rest of the day. I'm hurting inside that I didn't take that chance.

You struggle to not remember the past but it's often the one constant that shapes you. I don't care for the fact that a relationship failed, but the hideous changes that it brought about in people I thought I knew was enough, clearly, to keep my future interests on hold. So we go round and round in circles, suggesting the same sweet nothings and leaving the same desires unanswered.

I'm annoyed with myself for letting cruel character breakdowns undermine me, but why hurt anybody else when you're still living in spite? I'm so full of fake promises and I know how badly they deceive. I didn't want to make another. Hurt someone once and you can say sorry, hurt them again and you should have known better.

I hope some of this makes sense. I'm heading to Amsterdam soon, and as strange as it sounds, I may just come back seeing things a little more clearly.
