If only I had known...
Getting over you would be the hardest thing I've ever had to do. I never wanted to. And I wish things were different. When I said I loved you, I meant that.

[T] You're better than this.
Part of me hopes you read this.. but part of me hopes you know just what I'm gonna say and why I'm saying it.
When you have someone in your life who loves you, how much would you put yourself through for them, in order to make that last? I would do whatever I needed to, if I was ever so lucky.
You have the only thing I could possibly want, and you're making it seem like it isn't even worth it - and that upsets me. People get hurt so often, and they're willing to forgive and forget and pretend everything's normal again. But it isn't.
Now that I think about it, I'm seriously disappointed. I thought you were a lot better than that. And because you're my friend, I really trusted you. What you did was wrong, no matter what your reasoning behind it was.
If I can't trust you, that makes me question how I'd ever be able to trust anyone else. You didn't even hurt me. You scared me. Because I honestly thought you'd have learned to walk away before you made a mess of things. It's sad. You don't even look like you feel the least bit guilty.
But I don't blame you. People fuck up all the time. Everyone gets hurt by people they care about. It's unfortunate but realistic. It just makes me wonder... how long will it take before that fate reaches me?
I hope you do the right thing. If not for anyone else, at least for yourself.

If only I had known...
I love Toronto so much. I ran as fast as I could to get out of there, and although I won't say I regret the choice, I wish I had really given myself more of a chance to think about it. I miss being home.

[S] All about being sexy?
Here's the most random thing I learned from my TA during my French discussion group.
To conjugate French verbs, here's a trick to figure out what the verb ending should be.
Je - s, e, x, ai (because I am sexy)
Tu - s, x (sex without the e, obviously)
Il/Elle - d, a, t, e (because sexy people shouldn't be alone)
So the moral of the story is... French is all about being sexy (or "sexai", I guess).
Merci beaucoup Alexandre, you're brilliant!

Fine Line
Some dreams are just so good that you wish
that you could open your eyes
and experience the beauty in reality
so close to your fingertips that if you chose
to reach out and touch it
you could almost feel as it moves you
that's just how I felt
when I was with you, reality felt like a dream
and nothing could possibly interfere
or come between us, it was unreal
just as I had thought - it wasn't real and I knew it
but it wouldn't hurt to try
so every night, as I close my eyes
I cross the line and defy all odds
because just once I'd like to see it
with both of my eyes, what it is
I feared for so much of my life
and just when I thought I'd finally be okay
the fantasy slipped my mind.

[S] Rethinking social service...
Dandelions are apparently higher in calcium than dairy products. My prof taught me something useful - I think I'll go pick some dandelions for dinner now?

[T] Like a deer caught in the headlights.
I don’t know where to start - I guess that’s just what you do - you leave me speechless. I don’t even know what it is about you that does it, but I just can’t seem to escape the thought of it.
You are, without a doubt, an amazing person.
I’ve gotten to see the exterior of this character you’ve created, but something tells me there’s more to you - and I want to explore that further… I want to know you from the inside out; what makes you happy, what makes you sad, what touches your heart… I guess, I just want to mean enough to you for you to share that with me.
And I’d do the same for you, because I’m not afraid to. You always struck me as the type of person that has much to be discovered but not enough is ever explored. I want to discover that person that no one else sees.
You cut me deep, country boy.

[T] Glad to have a friend like you.
I’m not sure what I think of you anymore. After all the events of the past few months, I’m just surprised we are where we are now. I couldn’t thank you enough for everything; I felt like that night was perfect - and nothing could have made it better.
I honestly don’t regret all of the trouble it caused because I never would have felt as good as I did when I was with you. The situation wasn’t ideal, I know, and I had always thought things could have been what I wanted them to be like. That was a mistake. I had never wanted to hurt you; but I was out of control. You stood by me through all of that, and for that, I hold the utmost admiration and respect for you. Thank you.
