(Poem) My Thinking Thoughts

As I sit here lost in my random thoughts
I wish that someone could be in the thoughts that I’m thinking

My thinking thoughts

The thoughts that are hard to express but that I’m always thinking

They ask me what I’m thinking, and I just tell them . . .

My thinking thoughts

Maybe in another life I could tell someone

You know. . .the girl of my dreams

But. . . that’s to much to ask

No one really cares about the thoughts that I’m thinking

My thinking thoughts

The thoughts I could share but I wear my mask instead

I rather stay in my cave and keep my thoughts locked away

But then again . . . who can I really trust with these thoughts that I’m thinking

Trust, a five-letter word that not everyone knows

But then again . . . everyone is quick to say, “You can trust me though”

You want into my thoughts but you haven’t earned my trust

So what do I do with my thinking thoughts?

You know . . .the thoughts that I’m thinking

Maybe I’ll just sit here lost in my random thoughts

Or just share them with the wall because I know that it will listen

Maybe in another life I could tell someone

You know. . .the girl of my dreams

But. . . that’s to much to ask

For someone I trust to be in the thoughts that I’m thinking

My thinking thoughts

The Chase

Hey everyone another topic that I have been talking with a couple of my friends about is "The Chase." You should already know what I am referring to. You meet someone new, they kind of peek your interest and so you want to know more about them. So the chase begins. . . .

You run thru hoops to get to know them better, get them to notice you more and just do things to impress them. A month or so has passed and you feel like you are still chasing them. You don't know if they are interested in you but you know you are interested in them. So now what? You've told them how you want to move forward but they are unsure about how they want to move forward. Now what? You can tell if someone is interested in you or not, it really isn't rocket science.

Everything in your life is a lesson, everything is presented to you in different ways so you can learn from it. If someone really wants you, then they won't let you chase them for that long. They will actually walk beside you and develop something with you. You have to figure out if people are WORTH the chase. Sometimes you have to fight for a spot in someones life but if you don't see a place being made for you, its just time to move on and live life. "I'm not saying I don't want you, cause believe me, I do. I'm just not going to chase after you."

Brand New

It is August, so that means the summer is officially over. Now it's just time to reflect back on the new people you have met, the ones you already know but they acted like they didn't know you and time to get your phone contact back to normal. This topic is about people who act "Brand New" when they see you. Like they never had a conversation with you or saw you before.

We all have twitter, facebook, instagram etc. Some type of social media that allows us to make new friends all across the world. We may never see some of these people in person but we do have casual conversations with them sometimes. When you do see someone for the 1st time face to face and not via a social network, what is the first thing you do? Maybe walk up to them and say hi right? Some people are really not that confident about being the first to walk up to someone. Yes sometimes I have caught myself saying hi to people who aren't the ones I have little chats with but it's part of life. Honestly, some people don't look like their pictures. (Thank you instagram for the false advertisement)  So I understand if some people are afraid to say hi sometimes.

Sometimes though people know exactly how you look and just refuse to acknowledge you like they have never met you before. So why is this person acting "brand new"? Who knows. Sometimes you just have to not think about it so much. The same people who act "brand new" are the same people who will reach out to you later when something that involves you come up. We just have to remember that the people we meet via social networks don't come across the same when you meet them in person.
