so i find myself sitting here, feeling quite lonley and thinking too much.
but sometimes i enjoy thinking.
as of now, i have realized all too much in the past ten minutes.
tonight; peope were drinking around me. egging me on, trying to get me to crack and drink with them like "old times"
they miss the "old me". the old sarah.
but did they really know me, cause me, well i know myself all too well.
well sure, they knew me. they knew the girl i was. the girl with all the morals and beliefs. who often got let down, but never seemed to show it.
the girl that had no problem with just having a little bit of fun, never too much fun, because she had self control.
little did anyone know, this girl had a problem. a problem with attachment. a problem with feeling so let down. feeling so unappreciated, so unloved, and so lonely. she would find ways to get rid of these feelings, somewhat hiding them, throwing them away and hoping they wouldn't return.
she would do things to temporarily ease away whatever pain was hitting her too hard.
but those days, were a while ago.
recently;
yeah, i miss drinking. no, i don't like being put under the category "alcoholic" or being a victim of "alcoholism"
even though i am not an alcoholic, and did fall into alcoholism.
and i find myself saying to people how lucky they are that they can drink. that they can still party and have fun.
that i miss those days, that i miss being like that.
but something hit me today.
i don't miss any of that. at all. i don't miss drinking my problems away. i don't miss not being happy sober, i don't miss hiding from reality, i don't miss faking happiness. i don't miss any of it.
what i have right now is something so much better.
something that makes me feel so much better. something so much more powerful than any alcohol, any drug, anything at all.
something that i am so addicted and attached to. something that i love so much more than alcohol.
people say, "but sarah, you used to love drinking so much. you had so much fun"
to be honest with you. to be honest with everyone.
what i've found. what i have. what i want to keep forever. is so much better. what i have i love so much more than anything i've ever loved before.
anyone i've ever loved before. any experiance i've ever loved before. anything i can think of.
it can't compare to any of it, any of it put together.
im completly happy. completly sober. completly aware and awake. completly glowing. completely
in love.
what i have is love. who i have is an amazing boy that makes me feel amazing.
someone i could never replace, no matter how hard i try. someone who has flaws just like i do. who's flaws i accept in every way and love him for them. love him for not being perfect. love him for being a person. love him for being himself.
someone i could be my complete self around without feeling any kind of insecurity, or any uncomfort.
with him i feel safe. with him i feel happy. with him i feel like the luckiest girl in the world.
so to all my friends. i love you guys, to death and beyong. but,
im not sorry to say that im no longer part of that "partying scene"
i am however sorry to say that some of you do doubt the feelings i have, and the respect i have not only for myself, but for chase.
but i do love him. believe it or not. regardless of my age, or experiance.
but im done. i've settled down. and im happy with the person i am, the person im becoming, and happy with the relationship im in.
i never want to do anything to lose it. never want to lose it.
i would hate myself for it.
and right now i love me for me. love him for him.
and love this whole ideal picture of love itself.
im happy. and right now, that's all that matters.
