Fix You

I cried last night. I was sitting, waiting for my train to come to take me back home and I cried. It was quick, painful sobs. That's the only way I can describe it. I don't know what initiated this fit of extreme emotional release at that exact moment. I sat there thinking about my troubles from the past few weeks and in the past two days, including today, I've never felt so far in a rut in my entire life. Hold the hyperbole. I speak nothing but the truth.

I'm trying to become more confident and I honestly don't know how to do that. I'm starting to get rid of the 'static' people in my life and that's working slowly. I know I can't change people at all and most people know who I like and people who I am not too fond of. Not like it really matters. It's only my opinion. If there is any misconceptions, come talk to me. I will tell you. People say blogs are just a way to lash out, but I just use it to vent because I honestly have nothing to hide. I do hide some stuff involving my family, but that's understandable and I would hide a little if I was in a relationship, but oh wait. That would mean I would have to be in one. Right. So think what you may about my this entry or any of my previous entries. If you get offended or don't agree, it doesn't really matter. At all. It's the internet.

Then I thought about everything once more and with the help of a few various good friends that have been there for me these past few weeks, I've come to the conclusion that I know what I have to do. I don't know to describe it, but I just know. I guess, I've been too afraid to admit certain things in my life and it is all coming full circle. Took you long enough, Winslow. I've got so much more to learn, but I'm going to just strive forward, because there is no where else I can go but up at this point. I have nothing to lose and I can use that to my advantage.

One more thing I noticed in my travels in the past days is that I am truly in love with the song Fix You by Coldplay. Every time I hear that song, something comes over me. Yes, that was a very cheesy line, but that's the only way I can describe what this song does to me. I almost cried again when I listen to this song on my ipod on the train, but I was in public. With a lot of drunken people on the train. The more I think about it, it wouldn't be odd if I started crying on the train that night. A late train back to my part of LI after the Yankees lose, which basically equals 'anything goes.'

New School Year. New People. New Experience. New me.
I sound like the add for the new 90210 series.
'New Drama. Same Zip Code.'
That show is going to be horrid.

"And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you"

Hi Winslow!
It's Katherine. Okay I'm going to try and say this is the least weird way possible...You know that feeling that only a selective few people can give you...that laughter that makes the world seem less terrible. When you have those moments that make your stomach hurt you're laughing so hard. I sometimes visit your page as I wonder around the internet, and I realized I have enjoyed every single moment I have ever spent with you. Something about when we hang out makes me smile ear to ear, and after picking my brain, I deduced it's because you are one of the most genuine and unbelievable friends I have ever met. You truly deserve to be happy, and I just wanted to say thank you for making me laugh. It effects me more than you think =)

ps: your profile song made my break up with justin less difficult, idk how, i guess that's the mystery of music.

You know, I haven't been the best friend I can be the past couple of weeks. I'm always busy and I barely talk to anyone outside of those immediatley in my presence. But I don't question those relationships, and those friends won't hold it to me when I go missing as well. That's why I value our friendship- maybe to the point that I take it for granted more than I should. But while I have this moment to be thoughful, I just want to tell you you're a hell of a guy, and most notably one of a kind as for the people I know. Whenever I want some food for thought in a conversation you're the guy to go to. And If I want to be a thoughtless bum you're just as good for that too.

You can't expect people to make things happen for you all of the time. You can only take it upon yourself to make this year the best yet whether it's academically or socially. And if people want to be there for the ride, be them friends or new aquaitances, then that just makes the experience even better. Keep it up man.

I'm not sure if I can put it any better than Katherine's post, but you affect us in you're own unique and pleasing way, and I hope that we give the same back to you.
