Putting a stamp on it

Jun 05, 2017 16:48

Last week was a fascinating and terrifying ride, at times.  I married the girl I chased for years, always slightly out of reach.  All the heartaches and bullshit I put here seems rather small now.  Everything and nothing has changed.  Now I have a ring to fiddle with until it becomes something you don't even think about.  I've loved my wife immensely for many years now, legal formality is exactly that: formality.  Still, the ceremony was pleasant and the honeymoon delightful.

I've been reading through ancient history, looking at how disgusting my ex and I were in plain view of everybody on LJ.  I didn't care.  My soul is a lonely one, and she was the first person to warm it up a little, so I regret nothing.  After she ripped my heart to shreds I almost deleted everything, but I'm glad I didn't.  Its just memories, reminders, lessons.  I'm a well-wisher in that I don't wish her any specific harm.  I'm perfectly fine with continuing my streak of never speaking to her again.

I still miss this place.  Miss you, Annie.  I hope your back is treating you better.  Miss you, Jack, you weird puppeteering bastard.  Miss you, Gosling, the most elegant person I know.  Miss staying up at night for heated J-Rock/J-Pop discussions, trolling emo kids, finding the perfect av pic.  I miss how good being alive felt when I was 20, just the pleasure of sheer existance.  Highs and lows, mostly lows, but oh, the highs.  I wouldn't change a thing.
