In Denver and it is driving me fucking nuts, man. I do not even know how to describe it. Though, since I have ample time and no internet connection I can get as in detail as possible. There is nothing else to do. I have a couple of books to read, which I should do. But, its not even comfortable. There is no furniture and I have been sleeping on an air mattress that gives me a massive backache. Driving me fucking nuts, man.
There is only so much texting you can do, so many emails you can send and so many facebook and twitter updates that you can write without coming across creepy.
My mind has been in a really bad space because I am going through some relationship issues. I’m enthralled with a madman. I really don’t understand why I can’t just get over him. Let it go. There is some weird, strong connection. Had a two hour conversation with a random man at Starbucks today. By the way, if you are ever in Littleton, Colorado…The only place to meet people is at the Starbucks off of Wadsworth drive. Haha…
Anyway, yeah…its fucking distracting. The fact that I am letting it distract me is more frustrating than anything else. I went to these really gorgeous hot springs last night somewhere outside of Denver. Went to a outside mineral bath next to this beautiful cliff. There were snow-covered ferns and a light layer of icy snow covering the ledges of the rock. It was amazing. The backdrop was a sky FULL of stars. Even was lucky enough to see a shooting star. I was in hyper-focus mode. An experience like that is meant to be shared with another person. It was one of the most beautiful, lonely experiences that I have ever been through. I don’t know how else to describe it. My heart started to hurt because I longed to have someone in my arms at that moment. Basking in that pristine moment together. Guess I have the rest of my life to experience that. Nonetheless, it was still torturous not having my other half with me. Whomever he is….
Referencing the conversation that I had at a Starbucks earlier—This man made a big impact on me. I talked about my relationship with the madman—and he talked about his ex-wife and daughter. It was beautiful—Like we were best friends, in the moment. Hopefully, I made an impact in his life, know he changed mine. Its strange, whatever you NEED the universe will provide. We both were searching—and found what we were looking for—A genuine human interaction.
I have no clue what is going to happen when I get back to LA, really. My life is totally up in the air, which is beautiful…I am feeling this strange nervousness/excitement. Anything can go in multiple directions be it romantically, job-wise, life in general. I know it will be for the better, whatever it is. I am really hoping to get out of Denver tomorrow. If I am stuck here until Sunday…Will it be the end of the world? No. But, I would really love to be home for the weekend. Its been almost 2 weeks since I have seen the madman, or any of my other suitors. Also, I miss creature comforts…Like the ability to hike, go to my gym, do the things that I want to do.
Remo called me when Louie first left CO earlier this week with some advice. Remo’s advice was that I will have no idea why I ended up here until I get back to LA. That’s fine. I am just highly impatient and miss everything and everyone…It took a long time to start missing life as I know it, but I really do. I miss California. In this town everyone is nice…There just isn’t much to do. Plus, I feel like I am starting to get sick from the brutal weather. A lot of repressed childhood memories have been coming up in the past week or so, not sure what the deal is with that. I think it’s the fact that my parents are back to acting like children. Between that and the cold weather, I’m a fucking reminiscent mess. Earlier today I told all this to the dude working behind the counter at a party goods store. He must have thought I was nuts after professing, “I went to therapy for years to get over all this shit that’s coming back.” What a mess!
Beyond that, I am feeling kind of fat from not having the ability to work out. I do, but I miss MY GYM. I miss MY CAR. I miss MY SPACE, not the social networking site…but, my little part of Earth.
Think this trip was great in giving me some perspective as to what “normal” people are like. I was reminded that I don’t want to be normal. I want to be extrodinary. I am great, I don’t need to deal with this bullshit. Ah yes, back to the man from Starbucks. I realized that people need me. The world needs me. So, I can’t be caught up in he-who-must-not-be-named’s bullshit…Although, my heart and emotions are tied up in him…My life can’t be. Well, it can be, but not in a dramatic way…as more of a support system. Afterall, I love love and hate hate.
Wrote a little something to him…An abbreviated version from the Moleskin original…
Hi!
Was thinking about not thinking. Have learned this whole concept of being in the moment—Its beautiful. Sometimes I want to pause time and just stay suspended within a few milliseconds—Those few times in life where you feel truly alive.
A time when you are not thinking about anything other than how a single bead of sweat feels as it slowly crawls down your cheek. Or, when a cool wind blows and you feel each individual hair stand up on the back of your neck. Totally consumed in an individual moment or experience to the point where you feel as if nothing else exists. You become so deeply connected to yourself, any other aspect of the physical holds no bearing.
This connection to self—Living in a moment is what brings me the greatest amount of joy in life. God knows it took me years and years, and years to get to here. But, as is everything…It’s temporary. This is why I like this idea of staying suspended in time. These moments are the most meaningful, I want to live my life totally consumed in them. I want everything to truly make sense, and it does. You just let time pass without analyzing, assessing, figuring it out. You just accept what comes and do what makes you happy. Dealing with every issue at hand, rather than fantasy and idealized constructs. Just being happy to be alive to learn and experience life as it comes your way. Absolutely gorgeous.
Occasionally, I find myself gazing into your eyes and encountering one of these moments. No expectations, no chatter just fully experiencing the moment for what it is—Pure beauty, life at its fullest.
Other times, I cannot get these fleeting moments out of my mind. Or I create constructs around the idealism of what could be rooted in these “real” abbreviations in life. I don’t know if they are good or bad, real or fake…because I don’t believe in good or bad or reality for that matter.
I just know I enjoy this a lot, and you are a facilitator. In the moment, its as perfect as it can be…
