So I realized that the only thing of substance I ever blog about is all of the boy trouble I'm experiencing. This probably seems so shallow to most, but it really is most of what consumes my life right now. Here is the whole story, with no parts left out. (And just for the record, I hate the fact that I'm leaking most everything in here...but what can one do. I'm desperate for some friendly advice.)
Here goes nothing: I am totally confused as to what my heart is telling me right now. I care very deeply for a boy who lives in Indiana. See, the plan at the beginning of the summer was for Brandon to come out to BYU in the fall and we would basically be together...for as long as we needed to be. It would be wonderful if the story ended there, but it doesn't...
I never expected to meet anyone in Oklahoma, let alone anyone who would be dateable back at BYU, too. But of course I did. So, Nathan and I have been dating for 3 months now which is almost the entire time I've been here. It was absolutely wonderful in the beginning. All fun, no drama, which is how I prefer things because I tend to gravitate towards drama. (Don't ask.) In the beginning we really got along quite well. Now, however, I'm somewhat confused. You see, we disagree on almost all subjects. Ex.: I'm a feminist but he thinks there are things women shouldn't do in this world. I'm always on time, and if I'm not I will call, but he is never on time, and never ever calls. I want to encourage my children to reach for the stars and be what they want to be, but he thinks that's bogus. These are just a few examples, there are many, many more. All of this aside, I can't stop thinking about him. He drives me crazy and we disagree on everything, yet my heart still skips a beat when I see his number flashing on my phone. I still continue to do my hair the way he likes it, just so he will tell me he likes it when I wear my hair that way. It's total madness! We're wrong for each other for all the right reasons. And now I don'tknow what to do. I'm afraid of what will happen when I go back to school in the Fall. I know that Brandon and I need a chance to have some sort of relationship, but I'm also scared of losing Nathan by having that relationship with Brandon. I keep trying to tell myself to take it one day at a time, but at the same time, don't I need to make some sort of decision? Or can I just keep going like this? Carrying on relationships with two different guys...Is that even possible?
So, that's my love life in a nutshell right now. One beat-up, mixed-up, scarred, battered, lonely, nutshell...
