Changes







Fuck it Avri; Just Jump...

What harm could possibly come from going?!  A bitch just hates to be in a compromising position...I had so much swimming around in my head, I knew I needed a little headway before I could make ANY decisions.  That meant having another tooth-pulling conversation with Landon.  I knew what I felt, but I also knew that I was embarking on a whole new life course; a boyfriend was nowhere in that equation.  I liked that we didn't need labels to feel connected with one another, and would define what we had at a point in time when we were both ready.  In the back of my mind, the comment about Tre was still rattling around, and so I knew it would not be okay to pursue this any further and not say anything.  Big Girl Boots Avri; "It's About to Go Down!"...

Something that always happens to me whenever Landon and I are face to face is that I get kinda nervous when something is on my mind, and I'm at a loss for words.  No matter how organized my thoughts are prior to, it never comes out that way.  I sat next to him, trying to find the right words to communicate exactly what was on my heart.  I wanted to tell him that the Landon and Avri that was so dope was being transformed into something basic and stupid; that we weren't everyone else, and should stop pretending like we were.  We function and we work because are You and I; and nobody else.  We don't deny our feelings or their intensity; most importantly, we don't play games.  How we operate is unique and special, and were absolutely fine the way we were; moving at the pace we set...until you starting thinking and fucking shit up.  That's what I wanted to say; God only knows what actually came out...

One thing is for certain, it damn sure wasn't that; the invitation from Tre managed to be overlooked too.  I never mentioned it.  I was hoping after we spoke, I would be less confused, but no luck.   I hope I was at least able to get my point across, even if it was the most inarticulate thing I ever said.  I did walk away from the conversation with a  sense of relief, which meant I must have gotten out at least 1 thing I wanted to say.  That afternoon, I told Tre we could meet that night to have dinner, and we would discuss the potential of spending Sunday together.  He was more than happy to oblige; even coming all the way to Richmond to pick me up.  I had none of the same reservations with Tre, so I was able to jump right in...I was honest, right up front, letting him know I did not previously think of him that way, which is why I was so apprehensive.  It wasn't until the last couple of weeks of us spending so much time together that I really even saw him as a guy(no homo!).  I explained that I am incredibly guarded because I'm extremely sensitive and don't like to be hurt.  "I admire you candidness and willingness to still come at me the way you did," I said,"knowing full well what my situation was.  For that reason, I WILL spend all of Sunday with you; just be careful what you wish for!"

There, I said it.  It was out; I agreed, and I was going.  The backs of my ears started to tingle; I  was actually excited...for a few moments until anxiety kicked in--I'm going to be alone with Tre ALL DAY...Oh shit!  This is the 1st time I had actually been to his apartment.  Oh well, no turning back now!  "Stop acting like this man is going to eat you(what if he tries!lol)" I thought.  I reassured myself in my head.  "There hasn't even been an inappropriate word between us; it's not a stranger; CHILL!"  After a few deep breaths, I was calm, and could finally think about something important--like what to wear...

  It was just before dawn, and I was wide awake...Landon's words about learning one another played in my head like a verse on repeat; I couldn't stop thinking about them.  He was right; on sooo  many levels.  We had spent so much time building and maintaining our own individual identities, I didn't realize we had spent hardly any  on our collective one.  Landon and I had no idea how to be in an actual relationship with the adult versions of ourselves.  I mean, technically, we had One Summer-as children-that's it.  He and I had been separated for a long time; one that saw us transition from kids to adults.  When we came back together, we only focused on the things that remained the same; giving little to no regard for all the things that had changed.  In all actuality, neither one of us had any idea of what the adult versions of us were even really like... Come to think of it, I couldn't remember the last time we had spent an entire day t...

"Breeze"

  It's amazing how intoxicating Peace can be.  When I say that absolutely Nothing  was happening in my World-and I couldn't be happier.  My friends were currently tired of me dishing out the exact same advice, "be honest about how you feel" at the moment.  Eh, that's literally the root of every  single problem ya'll are currently facing.   My family had even gotten hip to the fact that I was no longer simply saying 'yes' to any and all requests, so they really didn't have shit to say to me😂.  People have a tendency to keep their distance-and their business to themselves if you're not vested in what they have going on; more so if you aren't miserable and willing to commiserate...I'm MORE than OK with that.  As the Summer crept on, I found it harder to sleep straight through the night.  This wasn't anything new, I sometimes experience a little seasonal insomnia from time to time.  It had just begun to rain as I opened my eyes....

"Why you take me up this high?  /Just to put a hole in my Parachute /So I would fall for you /And why you let us get this low? /When you know I'd give up my life for you /Ride and I'll die for you, I...Say do you remember? /Back when shit was good /2 kids in the night /We were so Alive..."                                                                                 Snoh Aalegra You know, we all talk endlessly about happiness; more specifically, what we need to achieve it.  In actuality, it's something that emanates from within.  There is not one thing outside of yourself that can contribute to your personal happiness in any way.  We obsess over the details of our lives in an attempt to place the blame of unrealized potential on anything  else...except You ...it's...
