The dreams we see with our eyes closed are the best we've ever had.
At the end of the day, faith is a funny thing. It turns up when you least expect it. It's like, one day you realize that the fairy tale may be slightly different from the one you dreamed. The castle, well, it might not be a castle. And it's not so important, happily ever after, just that it's happy right now. See, once in a blue moon, people will surprise you, and once in a while, people may even take your breath away. - Meredith Grey
I need to feel alive and moving. Changing and learning, not stagnant, not stale.
Can you drown in my eyes and wish to never find your way out again?
Can I answer that question honestly and come to the same conclusion every time?
I think I'm scared.

Dear Passport Canada.
Thank you for being ABSOLUTELY FUCKING COMPLETELY USELESS.
Sincerely,
Lesley.
Back in September, I started the application process for a new passport, not knowing that I already had one that was good until 2009. They contacted me and told me this in October. By November, I still had not located the passport, and told them so. They told me that I needed to file a lost/stolen passport form and send it in. Few weeks later, I located the passport. I called them back (this is now December), and told them that I'd found it. They told me that I still needed to file the lost/stolen passport form, because they'd put an alert out on that passport, so that it was rendered useless. They also charged my card for the new passport.
So, because of the hectic holidays, I wasn't able to actually go and do that until the first week of January. I received a letter saying that I had until the end of January to file the form, so I did that almost immediately. And I sent the form, along with my 'lost-but-now-found' passport along with it so that they could dispose of it properly, or void it, or whatever. Couple days later, I get a package in the mail. Thinking that it's my new passport, I tear it open only to find my birth certificate, a voided passport, and the non-expired passport, along with a letter stating that there would be no refund, and that this was no longer a 'lost' passport.
I called them today to figure out wtf was going on. I was then told that I had to send in the form, yes, but not along with the passport, because if a passport's lost, then why the heck is it being sent in and declared as "lost"? I thought I was being smart by sending it in ahead of time, turns out, it was my only mistake. If I had NOT sent in my passport and if I had been DISHONEST with the government, I would've had a new passport, I wouldn'tve wasted $150 (that's with the notorization for the form ($30), courier to passport office in Montreal ($20), courier to passport office in B.C. ($10), and passport fee ($87), grand total of $147).
Yeah. Guess how pissed off I am?
current mood:  pissed off

Nothing makes sense anymore.
I don't know why I'm so touchy, I don't know why I'm so easily irritable, I mean, today, I snapped at a CSR for no reason other than I was running late for an appointment.
I just feel like something inside me is breaking and I have no idea what's causing it, or why it's happening... And the worst part is, I have no REASON to feel this way. This is beyond seasonal affective disorder. This is pure depression, and I don't know why I'm feeling like this.

If we were all given a choice of what we could be in our lives without fear of the unknown, fear of retribution or fear of failure, maybe we'd all be a little more successful.
...Or we'd all end up total and complete failures, but at the same time, total and complete optimists because we aren't afraid to fail... Over and over and over again.
Then we'd just be dumb.
But we already are?

And now I'm all alone again, nowhere to turn, no one to go to.
Without a home, without a friend, without a face to say hello to.
But now the night is near, and I can make-believe he's here.
Sometimes I walk alone at night, when everybody else is sleeping
I think of him and then I'm happy with the company I'm keeping.
The city goes to bed and I can live inside my head.
On my own
Pretending he's beside me
All alone
I walk with him 'til morning
Without him, I feel his arms around me
And when I lose my way, I close my eyes and he has found me
In the rain
The pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever
And I know it's only in my mind
That I'm talking to myself and not to him
And although I know that he is blind
Still I say there's a way for us
I love him, but when the night is over
He is gone, the river's just a river
Without him, the world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere the streets are full of strangers
I love him, but every day I'm learning
All my life I've only been pretending
Without me, his world will go on turning
The world is full of happiness that I have never known
I love him
I love him
I love him...
But only on my own...

It was kismet. We laughed, we argued, we talked, we cried. We've gone through the entire range of emotions - or at least a lot of it - from happy to sad and straight to despair.
I don't know who realized it first, but our situation isn't unique in the sense that we're just so far away from each other.
I'm so tired. So tired of being left in the dust, not having people be ready for me, myself and I. I'm so tired of having to wait for the right person at exactly the right time. I feel like I've been ready my entire life for someone to come sweep me off my feet and I'm just biding my time, waiting, waiting for the right PERSON. Someone who's also ready to do this. Someone who's ready for me. And it's so FRUSTRATING because I have to wait. It's so lonely. It's so, so very lonely.
