The Road Not Travelled.




In my mind we are still at war, even when I am making a concentrated effort to be at peace with you. There are certain dates that the old hate returns and it becomes the strongest emotion. Even if the heart betrays me, the anger is still there and the emptiness can make it boil over. Logic and anger is stronger than my heart has ever been. Because neither of those things have never betrayed me the way that you have.


You have no idea how much it takes to suppress the will to fight and somehow make you suffer still. But I am beyond that. I’m beyond being miserable. If I wish to be at peace I need to look beyond you. It’s something I don’t think I will ever be able to do. But at least when I look upon you now there isn’t anger, just pain. Pain you caused.


You and I have a past. I’m not sure we have a future anymore. But I am sure the road not travelled  would have been the right one for us. 


But it’s not the road that you chose for us. I don’t have regrets. You do. I just live my life and do fun things and live like I always have. No rules. No regrets and no looking back.


I am not the one to blame for how the world has affected you, in some ways it’s not even about you. It’s just what has happened to you. Just because I am here doesn’t mean that it’s unconditional, I do have expectations. I always have.


I have nothing to prove to you, but you have plenty to prove to me, and you know that. You’ve always known that. That’s why you can’t face the reality of making choices and changes that you need you. 


But I’m patient and I am in a good place. I don’t mind waiting. I never have. I just dislike the fact that you’ve expected to wait.


Flames do go out. And I have no idea how we ended up where we are right now anyways. 


The fact that certain decisions long term have come back to haunt the both of us, a lot of that of that is because of you’re decisions and my apathy.  We could have been someone else, we could have been somewhere else. We should have been.


I don’t know where we would have ended up, I just know where we are now. And where I think at some point where we would like to be. But that means you have to deal with stuff in your life and in you’re head. You know what’s waiting.


I’m at a place in my life where I am happy, and I enjoy doing my adventures and just living. The only thing is missing is having you at my side and giving our child the kind of experiences that we had together. I think that is lacking in your life. I know that I am lacking in your life. I have no doubts about that.


The best choice in my life was putting my weapons down and letting the war end in peace. I should have done it a long sooner and been civil with you instead of being angry. Regardless if we had ever spoke again, it would have been a better healthier outcome for the both of us.

Father and Son.

I dont know the next step. I don't claim to. I just know I'm working to rebuild a relationship that has been fractured for many years. That includes both of you. I am here. I will always be here, I have always been here that will never change  This weekend was epic and it felt right. I don't know what will happen but i do know that I am at peace with being civil and polite with your mom. It was nice to have a little adventure as a family. It felt right. It what was missing in our lives. Thank you.

  I want you in my life. Don't ever fucking confuse that for needing you in my life. Those two things are mutually exclusive to each other. I'm fine with my life and it's not my freind's and my social life that I'm jealous of. We both made our choices. My life has always been an insane carnival. You were merely an extended chapter. But if you think I'm going to sit at home being sad and depressed and shutting down because your not in my life. Your delusional. Then agian we already know this. If my life is going to be a sad comedy then I'll make it a metal massacre. I'm not sitting around waiting for anyone. The least of all you.  I sacrificed enough time on the altar of what might have been. I'm just enjoying the time that we have left. This way if it go out, it's on my own terms. I always told you that my funeral pyre will be a blaze of glory.. I just never told you when.  Now I'm gonna live and have adventures. Remain jealous. You know how ...

The Villian

I've never gave a rats ass about being the bad guy. But I have cared about being a fairweather freind and how I reflect on being a role model to my son. I will walk away from any bad actors or bad relationships that endanger the relationship I am slowly attempting to rebuild.  I know I can be a prick. But when you hurt someone I care about, I do not trust you that you may affect those I care about. I burn bridges with gasoline while I'm standing upon them.  It wont be the first multiple decade freindship ive demolished, it won't be the last. Im starting to reevaluate a lot of drinking buddies agian to see who is actually something and who I just party with. If I'm obviously moving in a direction thats going to have me ghosting someone whose been around for a minute, so be it. It wont even be the first one this year. I dont look back. And I dont care, if I exclude you from my life, thats an ending that's where its done.  I am making choices for my future and its pret...
