Oh, Travis

Everyday I wake up and it's Sunday
Whatever's in my head won't go away
The radio is playing all the usual 
And what's a "wonderwall" anyway?

Because my inside is outside...
My right side's on the left side
'Cause I'm writing to reach now,
But I might never reach you.
I want to teach you
About you
But that's not you.

It's good to know that you are home for Christmas.
It's good to know that you are doing well.
It's good to know that you all know I'm hurting.
It's good to know I'm feeling not so well.

Because my inside is outside...
My right side's on the left side.
'Cause I'm writing to reach you now,
But I might never reach you.
I only want to teach you
About you,
But that's not you.
You know it's true,
But that won't do.

Maybe then tomorrow will be Monday.
And whatever's in my head should go away.
Still the radio keeps playing all the usual.
What's a "wonderwall" anyway?

Because my inside is outside
My right side's on the left side.
'Cause I'm writing to reach you now,
But I might never reach you.
I only want to teach you 
About you,
But that's not you. 
You know it's true,
But that won't do.
You know it's you,
I'm talkin' to.

Wow.

My mind's really weird. I'll think one thing one minute, and the next it's as if there's a total stranger wandering around in my brain. I've heard we're all a bit like that. Weird, non? That's why I've decided to keep this blog. We're all weird. So if you can't shut your brain off at night, or you're just as confused by yourself as I am by me (if that makes any sense!), I welcome you to read on and tell me off, agree with me, whatevs. CIAO!

Perspective on my emotional hide and seek.

Most years we quietly celebrate Jenn's birthday; it's just us seven, we have some dinner, and then we go home. For her birthday this year, she asked one of her fellow nurses, Milly, to read our handwriting and interpret our personalities. Milly's interpretation of me was not that far off-base; she inferred that I'm reserved, prideful, loyal, hard-working, stubborn, and creative --- but she also told me that I can come off as "cold". Now, it's interesting to me that what stuck with me most is the fact she called me cold. Not the fact she correctly guessed that I like to feel people out before baring my thoughts to them. Not the fact she told me I'm creative, but am wasting my talents. Nope. What affected me most about her reading is that I can come off as cold to certain people. I've been called so many things in my life (haven't we all?), but the things I've been called in the past have always had a more... well, a positive spin. I...
