Why must we think thoughts?

Jan 16, 2006 18:33

Why must our minds always be thinking, and why must they alway revert to the same thougts that we try so hard to push out of our head? I have many thoughts plaguing my mind right now. I need to list them and maybe they will leave my head for awhile.

1. My jaw. I went to the orthodontist on Jan. 10th when I was back in AZ and my jaw locked like 5 times while I was there. I realized, my jaw locks every day, multiple times a day, and although it doesn't really hurt, I feel bone on bone scraping every time. I fear that I will end up being 40 years old and eating through a straw and I wont be able to sing, which is a big part of my life.

2. Love. I had a dscussion with someone who didn't believe in love, and it made me think about a lot of things. Plus, I hung out with someone who I hadn't seen in 2 and a half years, and I think the feelings I had for them in the past are coming back, even though I don't really know them that well now. (I hope it's just my longing for the past and not a crush) And I still have feelings for someone here in Boston who just wants to be friends, and I know it would never work with him anyway.

3. My mother. I keep seeing all these movies that are sad, or deal with death and I still don't understand what's wrong with me. I feel sad for them, and I cry when they cry, but when I think of my mom I can't cry. I miss her, and I know people will just tell me "We grieve in our own way" but I think there's something wrong with me. I cry more over superfical things, like a sweater, a movie, or a ring, but not over her.

4. Disease. People keep talking about sickness, and I love doctor shows, but everytime I see one, I think of my mom and what was wrong with her, and I fear it'll happen to me. I hate hospitals, and I never want to be in one. I couldn't stay in one, I just couldn't.

5. Death. You wanna know something crazy? On the flight back to Boston, I was thinking, what if the plane crashed, what if I died? I love flying, I'm not afraid of it, and even when I asked these questions to myself I wasn't afraid. I was calm. I would never ever kill myself, but if I was ever going to die, I think I would accept it.

I feel better now having those written down. I hope now I can forget about them. Well see.
