save me from what i know not

I am so fickle, and I absolutely know it. Well, it could be that, or it could just be that I am finally thinking clearly. Joe called me yesterday, and wanted to make plans for the weekend. I'm booked the whole weekend, so he says Friday instead. In the back of my mind, I keep telling myself over and over that I don't want to do this, that I don't want to go, and I don't care to go anywhere with him. Then I say yes. I don't know how to say no to people enough when they ask me for something, and that is a dangerous thing. I should have said no, and just stopped it right there. He's not who I want at all, and I shouldn't have even thought of considering him as anything more than a friend. I don't have time for him, and as I said before, he's not who I want. What am I supposed to do? My mind is so confused sometimes that I say things I don't want to, and cannot think clearly.

I went to the college fair tonight at school. Chris was there. Each day that goes by, I lose my desire to chase after him, knowing that it won't work, and that he is not who I truly want either. He was a challenge before, but now I am just not up for it anymore. Antonio was there too, and I still think that he is extremely cute and charming. I love his teeth. I would be so happy if he asked me to the prom, but I don't think that he will. I wonder if he is going at all. Still, Joe is not a challenge at all. I'm not saying that I'm looking for a true challenge, because that would be stupid...but I feel so very unspecial. So, he likes me. Great. I don't really like him back, and it's not worth my while to even try to make him mine or anything. Can you see what I'm saying? I don't want to put an effort into building a relationship that I don't want to be in. Yet, I don't have the guts to stop this before it goes any further, and I'm afraid that soon enough I will be spiraling into unhappiness.

The one thing that I have longed to do for my whole life is enter the minds of others. I would love to see their thoughts, and feel what they're feeling, and that way I could better understand them. Perhaps there is an extremely egocentric reason too, as I would love to know what people thought of me. So many times, others don't know your true feelings because you stash them away, hidden. I don't think that's the right way to be, yet that's the way I am. It is such a curious thing to imagine what others think and why they think that way. It would make life a whole lot easier sometimes if you could know.

In conclusion, I don't know what to do. I know I'm not ready for this whole boyfriend thing yet. Call me immature or whatever, but geez. I don't want to feel pressured to bring him to my prom either. Just because I'm doing him a favor by going to his doesn't mean that I still can't go alone to mine, right? If I take anyone from school, there are only two possible candidates whom I will consider. Hey, I have standards you know. One would be Antonio, and the other would be Michael. I was just thinking of something, though. I so hope that no one every stumbles across this diary. It would ultimately be my demise and the utter end of my life.

I am dreading Friday. I hate Friday now. Maybe he'll forget. Oh, I hope so. ĦAh, que mal suerte!

Ciao.
