4 weeks to go til I go to Qingdao... Am I excited... of course I am, but obviously not AS excited as I was.
I don't want to do it now...
Tonight I feel hurt, angry, mad, bewildered, devastated, cheated, I feel like my heart has been ripped out of my chest. I feel like a hare staring at the oncoming headlights and cannot get out of the way. Tonight Myself and arnold spoke at length on some things concerning this with Ke Ren. He showed and told me something that has made me believe that 'SHE' did love me. I do not want to go into detail and I ask that no one question this. Suffice to say I believe it to be true. I asked a question of him "What if I 'bump' into her at the agency, or in town or out shopping" Will she speak to me? Maybe what I should have asked "What if I bump into her, how will I feel? Deep down I know I will feel mad, angry hurt, want to say something, but most of all I will feel love.
This woman grabbed my attention with her looks, she totally captivated me with her words. I know that you people that are not as romantic as myself or maybe Brian will say, "How can you fall in love with a picture?" Well for the romantics it is not just the picture. it is the words, the meanings behind the words, the laughter she gives you, the anger when you hear she is in some sort of trouble. It is everything combined, and no matter what anyone say's 'we' will always see that. So in a sense, 'we' are to blame also, we put these ladies on a pedestal, out of reach of normality -- in our eyes. Maybe we deserve everything we get.
All this bravado with myself getting replies to cupids, and sending letters etc. That's all it is... BRAVADO, although getting letters and cupid replies and admire mail is all true. Personally I don't think I'm ready for this. What am I going to do, well what else can I do about it but go and face the demons.
I know you guys have been right behind me, and I thank you all. I know you will probably say, ether don't go, or go somewhere else, or you have to move on. The point is, I know this, but at the moment I am finding it tough. Many of you will probably know this because of my recent answers to other brothers posts, or the way I have posted some threads since.
I am most probably the best guy on here capable of putting a Brave Face on things, because of my past. Sometimes there is nothing that can be said when someone feels like this, so although I have everyone's backing, I know I must go on with the Brave face. So if for the next couple of weeks or so, if I am not as active as I once was, don't worry, you will know why?
Last night I looked at the information I have concerning school, colleges, and universities in the area. I wrote them all down into my notebook that I am taking. Names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses etc etc. I have something like 30 places to try. As it turns out NOW, I will use this trip to scout for work, although I have some lined up starting in March. I decided the other day that I will be as prepared as much as I can be, to go to these places and try face to face looking for work. This is the reason for the suit guys.
Will I enjoy being there? The short answer is NO, not as much as I would have done if things hadn't turned out the way they did. But there is one thing I haven't mentioned, and that is. IF it had not been for meeting Ke Ren through the web site, i would not have meet all you nice people, or have been going on a journey, that deep down I know will be the TRIP of a lifetime...
