Ok I am going to dip into my past here. It was about 10 months ago that I met 2 very interesting individuals. Their names are George and Riley. At first, I didn't know George ... I only knew Riley. Riley and I were friends for quite a while before I decided I might be interested in him. So him and I started to get a little... involved. We didn't do anything serious. I will admit, that I did jack-off on cam for this Riley... and he really seemed to like it. He was always talking dirty to me and stuff. About a week later, he introduced me to a friend of his, George. So over the next few days George and I started talking and getting to know each other. There was 1 thing that I seemed to have missed when Riley introduced me to George. That George is his boyfriend. However, I didn't find this out until I started hitting on George, and until I finally told him my feeling for him. George broke the news to me about Riley. Needless to say, I liked George to the point where I wanted to be with him -- and that involved getting rid of Riley. I did the unthinkable. Even though everything I did was evolved around the truth, I still feel horrible now. I copied the entire conversation that happened between me and Riley and I emailed it to George. Knowing that when George reads it, that he will be upset with Riley and break up with him. What I didn't realize, was how hurt George would be by Riley's actions. It destroyed George, and he slid straight into depression. As a response, I was destroyed by what I did to 2 people I considered friends. Even worse, one of them I was interested in. I can't believe that I had done that ... and to this day -- I still live with that shame. George will never consider a relationship with me for doing that. Now, one of the fastest ways for me to think nothing of a person and completely shut them out, is if they do something to get between two people. Whether its intentionally breaking up a friendship or a relationship, it is disgusting someone can do that -- the way I did. It is one thing to approach a friend that you are concerned for and discuss something. It is a completely different matter to say something you know will directly cause a break-up for the 2 people when its an issue of you wanting something out of it. The reason why I've mentioned this, is because of things I have done a little more recently. I told someone that I would never do anything to get in the way of their relationship. I haven't, and I won't. I have however, spent a large amount of time telling someone how much feelings I have for them. I wish I had a way to convey to them that although the feelings I have for them want me to be with them. I would rather they be happy. "If this person wanted out of their current relationship to persue something with you, then its up to THEM to do it, not you to fawn over them declaring undying love, which everyone who's seen you in action will last no longer than a few months. Think of someone else for once." The words burned into my head, the words of my close friend Sam -- whom I had gone to with every situation I was in. Yeah... I know... this entry deals with some things in my past, but my past is what makes me who I am now. Who knows what will happen tomorrow. I'm sorry for all the names.. I will talk more about my closer friends sometime and tell you more about them and what they are like. But for now, I need to understand myself. So I visit these past experiences to get more familiar with myself, and who I am. Maybe now I will stop professing my undying love for guys who I like and I'm interested in. Especially Steve....
