 do i miss what i want to happen with us, or what could actually happen?  could i be happy just being one of his women, or is there the slightest chance that we could make each other whole?  can anyone make me whole?  why do i run away from the safe ones?  why can't i be content with a nice stable together man who just wants to love me and not judge me or change me into what he thinks i should be.  why can't i feel whole just being me?  so many questions and not enough answers.  where do i find these answers, and if i do find them will i be satisfied with them?  the whole damn thing just gives me a headache.  i remember a time when i was content just being me.  i had a great time with just me and my friends.  i didn't need a man, and i didn't want one.  what happened to that girl?  where did she go?  does she still exist way deep down, or did she die with cliff?  when did i stop loving myself?  did i ever? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i need to start doing things that make me happy again.  i was happy when i took pictures, and they were good!  not fantastic, but definitley decent.  i certainly won't be able to quit my day job but it fills a hole.  it gives me satisfaction.  i also need to get back to my scrapbooking.  christina calls it my book of the dead;  i know it's weird, but i'm ok with that.  it gave me a sense of peace, a sense that i was helping, a sense that i could love them and they could feel it.  what else made me happy? ...............................................................&lt;br /&gt;................................................................why can't i just pick out things that make me happy?  am i that miserable in life?  why why why???  i just can't seem to pull myself together.  where would i even begin..........&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6568486660520409204-2060489639420733766?l=alisa-asila.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://alisa-asila.blogspot.com/feeds/2060489639420733766/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://alisa-asila.blogspot.com/2010/02/too-many-questions-not-enough-answers.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568486660520409204/posts/default/2060489639420733766'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6568486660520409204/posts/default/2060489639420733766'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://alisa-asila.blogspot.com/2010/02/too-many-questions-not-enough-answers.html' title='too many questions, not enough answers'/><author><name>alisa</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11413789660704312762</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
