Find a Diary


A good place to start Monday, January 29, 2007

Some things are harder to explain then others. They seam simple enouph at first, but then you start trying to explain them and it all comes out wrong and doesn't seam a good enouph explanation. In cases like this, the problem isn't the explanation, but the fact that the thing you're atempting to explain is many layered, and difficult to view from just one angle. If this first entry leaves you somewhat dazzed and unsure of what I'm atempting, then check back later and maybe another piece of the puzzle will fall in place for you. Or you could just forget you read this one, either way doesn't really effect me much.

I'm going to begin with the yearning. It's something thats been with me since, well ever since I can remember actually. It's an ach, a need deep down for something I can't explain. Sometimes it comes over me when I look up at the stars or the moon, or I glance out the car window at the trees moving by. You might think at first that I'm depressed, and what I'm discribing is nothing more then depression, and maybe you're right, but the sadness that comes over me isn't much for me. I'm not sad becouse I can't have something, or I can't do something. I'm not sad becouse I don't think I'm the person I should be, or the person others want me to be. The sadness is for everyone, and everything in existance. Something isn't right about the way things are. Something very important is missing from our world, hidden in the shadows of our minds, dancing at the corners of our eyes. Things we almost see, things we should see, things we've forgotten we can see. In my heart I know there's something more, and at times I feal soooooo close to finding it, but it is an elusive thing and I can never quite put my finger on exactly what it is I seek. I thought once that maybe it was religion, and I've tried a few, none felt right to me, and so I wander still through a world thats not quite right, a world that almost makes since but doesn't, knowing I'm missing something important, something fantastic and necesary, and never knowing what it is.

Maybe you've felt it to, maybe not. Maybe it's in all of us, maybe not. Maybe I'm alone..... Some that doesn't feal right either though. The remainder of this diary will be an analization of the things I've found or think that I've found and an atempt to learn to see that thing that so eludes me, that my heart tells me is there, and yes, maybe even an attempt to help you learn to see it to.




You are not alone. There are some things for which words elude one... for me, this yearning is one of those things. [Chronic Dreamer] 1/29/2007 11:47:40 PM
I've definately felt that way before. Sometimes, I still do. Since my job is to analyze every single feeling I tend to get in too deep.

Any way, I do understand you, that's the reason why start writing in my first diary. Keep on writing, I'm sure that there's at least one person (me) that will completely relate. [Freudian slips]

You are not alone at all on this one. I have felt this way for many years. I am going to add you to my favs so I can keep up with your diary. I am interested in what more you have to say.

Welcome to OD... [Heavens ~Dew~]

I know exactly what you mean. Me and the world have a love-hate relationship. Sometimes I feel just.. wrong when I use a cell phone, or I drive a car, or I but junk food or smoke cigarettes. It's like an instinct to know it's not natural. Technology bothers me but at the same time I depend on it. And I know kinda how you feel when it comes to feeling like something's missing.. It's like a lack of  [biohazard] 1/30/2007 12:01:22 PM
Alright so it cut me off and I have short term memory loss and forgot what I was abotu to write :(

I hope you find what you are looking for and I like the way you think so I'll probably be back to your diary every so often. [biohazard]
