"headfirst into the headboard"

In the interest of symmetry, I will continue until I reach 100 posts, or until November, which will be a year from when I started. November 28th is that date. I write more in my diary now, as all sorts of private things are happening in my life. There are things now that I can't write about or expose. And perhaps one of the things I have to come to terms with is the idea that when you are with someone, nothing is ever 'just you' anymore, as awful as that may sound. There is always a large part that is always 'just you', but because you choose to have another person very close, you choose to expose them to things too. I have realised how harsh I am, how 'just me' I am, and how horribly uncompromising and selfish that is. I thought I was just tough and independant, until I realised that what I was doing was resisting the people that I want. And for so long I have revelled in the idea of contradiction, and people's ability to disagree with themselves, and then I realised that part of me wanted to create a smooth and homogenous self that was based on past feelings, becuase it is more comfortable. It also provides a way of knowing yourself. There are so many ways of knowing yourself and we fail to explore so many of them.
