Taken in its original form from my myspace blog, posted here in my safe haven
First off all, a little apology told someone I couldn't talk as I was going to bed but then had this sudden urge to type, so sorry 
This blog is not being advertised its just here so in a way i'm hoping its not read which is a bit daft really as I am publishing it, nevermind though 'daft' is a popular word to describe me
So anyway, I pride myself in a freaky sort of way on NO ONE really knowing me. I think if you ask people who have come across me, they'd all describe me in very different ways. As I write this i'm doubting myself now, hoping that it doesn't translate into something like I act differently to different people in a negative type of way like being two faced.
I would hate for anyone to think that, I think there is very much sides to me but I hope that just makes me a better person, perhaps more worldly? I can adapt to you and make you more comfortable being around me maybe? My name at the moment is enigmatic which is apt, hence why I chose it but I think it over states who I am, i'm not that special so enigma is too strong a description.
As usual I digress, I have lost the point already grrr. Ermmm yeah negativity. I sell it by the bucketloads. I can insult myself better than anyone else I reckon. However, this is where the problems start. If people think negatively of me, BOOM I can't handle it and I divert off into a particularly negative shift of emotions. So you think ok, I'll say something nice about the ol Craig. Oh no you don't, I can't accept that either. You say anything nice and I won't believe you mean it, i'll just think you're being kind. This scenario occurred just yesterday infact!
I have concluded at just this moment that I am quite needy. I need interaction but more often that not shy away from it completely. I do that because of the risk of people suddenly thinking oooh I don't like that or I don't like that sort. I know I am different yet I yearn to be accepted. Which means I'll probably never feel truely comfortable.
I once felt comfortable, perhaps the only time in my life. Here will come now as a warning a very frank piece of writing by myself which could and should lead to major embarassment on my part and a complete enquiry into why I actually wrote it.
I've only ever had one girlfriend. Gasp!! And release the breath readers. It lasted about 3 months I reckon and ended early in March of 2005, since which time I have been unhappily single? i'll narrow it down to just single as I don't want to be overly negative, its just not like me (sarcasm)
Her name is/was Sam, to me she was the most beautiful person in the world and not just looks wise, her heart was big and always open. Too open probably as she'd been treated badly before. At the end of the day I'm a nice guy, that isn't no act, so I treated her with the respect she deserved, she was everything to me. She ended it though, we lived too far apart to see each other enough apparently, I never agreed and will always torture myself for not fighting hard enough to change her mind and not making as much effort as perhaps I could have, to go and see her, I always believe I come up short.
So this was hard to get over, we had never even had a fight so it was extra hard to take I think. But anyway she made me feel like no one else. I could be 100% me and not have to worry if I looked stupid or idiotic or downright retarded. She wanted me not the me in my mind that I thought I had to be to fit in.
Obviously you can read between the lines and draw your own conclusions by the circumstances I was/am in by my first statement surrounding one girlfriend. To clarify it, I don't do one night stands....now join the dots. Following on from that attempted cryptic message as I can't actually bring myself to type specifics comes this. Wherever we were, whatever we were doing, I felt comfortable, doing many firsts and attempting many firsts, my embarrassment levels were extremely low. That was all down to her and how she made me feel.
I don't know if I loved her, how can I tell? I don't know what love is, I don't think thats to over dramatic, its the truth. The worst thing is I still think about her, way too much I know. My big sister was big mates with her beforehand, they don't talk anymore. I managed an email to my sister about how I felt not long after the break up but I think she'd be devastated to know I still have the same issues!
To summarise that, I haven't felt comfortable since. Sometimes people will go like what type of girl do you like and I can't answer because I can only imagine the looks if I said, someone who makes me feel comfortable, someone who lets me be me. Thats just not a manly thing to say is it. I'm not going to lie and say I don't care about what a potential girlfriend looks like, physical attraction has to be there in some light for everyone, but what really matters is who she is not how big her boobs are or if she looks like a model or not.
I could go on for much longer about me in the real world and how it makes me feel. Another time perhaps as this is too long already.
The amusing thing is I was angry at the start of this blog. Angry at someone who I thought I knew, who doesn't talk to me anymore, no explanation just blankness, I got fed up of making the effort. That emotion has certainly evolved hasn't it!?! Evolved into whatever this has become.
Strangely I feel much better, I wonder how I'll feel in the morning though? It may well be a why did I do that moment! And as a side note, I will probably direct people to the blog, contrary to my earlier statement, but here is fingers crossed that I come up with the will power to not led people to this but to just let them find it, find it if its meant to be
