Day 236: Waking Up

Life is full of double-edged swords. Personal circumstances have led me to finally admit to myself that I do miss having someone around, that I'm not so emotionally detached as I had led myself to believe. This is a good thing in the long run, I know. But, in the meantime, it sucks. Been getting attacks of the lonelies, especially at the end of these twelve hour days working at the school. Where's my foot rub at the end of the day and that person to unwind with?

Maybe long hours by myself in the classroom are just making me crazy.

Or maybe it's getting close to that time again...

Sometimes I feel
Like I don't belong anywhere
And it's gonna take so long
For me to get somewhere

Sometimes I feel so heavy-hearted
But I can't explain 'cause I'm so guarded
But that's a lonely road to travel
And a heavy load to bear

And it's a long, long way to Heaven
But I gotta get there
Can you send an angel
Can you send me an angel

To guide me

--Alicia Keys
