coming out of retirement

my best friend told me that i worry too much about what other people say.

so did my parents.

and my therapist.

i have this almost dying wish of just wanting to be accepted and to fit in.
my confidence has been dwindling slowly but surely throughout the years.
the once cool and charismatic guy that i used to be no longer exists.

and on top of that society tells me i'm a failure if i don't these 2 things:
1) go on a mission
2) go to BYU

well i hate to break it to you people but i'm probably not going to do either of those things.
(sorry mom)

so many things are running through my head and i tried using a journal to write them all down.
but it's just not the same.
and i started to go a little crazy

so i tried making a new blog and that wasn't the same either. 
in fact i think you took it off the list nelson...i'll thank you later.

so i've come back to paris.
because lloyd fits in.
what lloyd says matters.
people care about lloyd's thoughts and opinions.


Jern said it perfectly,

i'm going through withdrawals.

  2. I liked this. Glad I'm not the only one with a therapist or who disappoints my parents. It's real life.

    And I know what you mean. I tried to create a new blog.

    This is the realest line I've ever read and I agree 100% with you. Society sucks.

    I'm so glad you're back because you're right.
    You matter.

  6. Oh and you're not the only one visiting a therapist.


    Maybe we should all do group therapy so it's less awkward.

    At least it's awkward for me sometimes.

  7. Welcome back.

    I am looking to buy an apartment in Paris if you want to split the cost with me.

    My therapist tells me it's a bad idea, but I'd love to have you there.

  9. You don't have to do either of those 2 things. BYU is kind of gay anyways. Too many rules. I wouldn't be your friend if you went to the Y anyways.
