Bridges

Thu May 15, 2008, 2:33 PM
  • Mood: Annoyed
  • Listening to: Here We Go Again- Paramore
I tend to leave all of my bridges somewhat intact. There are very few bridges I have completely demolished; there is still a rope or a single vein of metal connecting the two sides. The bridges that are gone have been destroyed by space or time or both. But I had little to do with the destruction.

Unintentionally, or possibly intentionally, I make sure I leave the remnants of the bridges intact. I write diaries, and I keep them. I write emails, and I save them. The most painful, embarrassing, shameful memories that most people would push away, I loosely attach myself to. I don't relive them every day, but they never leave.
I'm beginning to think that it isn't healthy.

Spring of last year, I tried to start an audio diary. I recorded one entry, which I saved and didn't listen to again until just now. I was honest and brutal. I was obviously very attached to a dangerous, unattainable fantasy of which everyone but me was weary. It was painful to listen to.
The bridge to that PLACE is gone. The bridge to that MEMORY is made of stone.


Recently, I watched two of my friends burn their bridge. Guiltily, I watched the flames in silent delight. I parked myself comfortably in the empty gap and obscured their views.

But the tide moves swiftly, and I couldn't stay in the gap for long. I happened to glance up from some paperwork today, and I noticed a blinking orange sign, "Bridge Under Construction."
I feel like this is my time for action. I should cease its construction for my own selfish reasons.

Maybe I should burn my own bridge and let them continue to build.
I know I could make him happier. I should focus on ME first.

Send one to all your friends who you think deserve a hug (which, hopefully includes the person who sent it to you)!!

You might send it to your enemies as well!
It'll really make them stop and think!!!

If you don't receive this back, nobody likes you, and they wish you'd stop bugging them!

If you receive this back 1 time, open up! Find more friends, enemies, or enemies pretending to be friends

If you receive this back 2 times, you're off to a good start! (Unless you sent it to yourself! That's cheating!)

If you receive this back 3 times, you're a good friend.

If you receive this back 4 times, you're truly loved as a friend!!
