Face masks, women's body wash & memories

The CDC (Center for Disease Control & Prevention) recently recommended that people start wearing masks out in public.  Since I started wearing one I'm surprised at how much more calm I feel wearing it.  Not because I think it'll keep me safe from the Corona virus though, I know it won't.  It's because it covers a lot of my face.  My face is the ugliest part about me unfortunately but covering it up gives me more confidence.  I kind of wish I could just always wear this thing.

When my friend Grace came over in January I bought her some body wash and shampoo she could use.  Now my stuff has run out so I've been using her stuff.  Women's stuff is so nice to use.  Men's body wash just smells like some manly thing but women have all this different stuff theirs smells like.  Now after every shower I smell like coconuts and it's awesome.  Maybe I just switch over to using women's body wash from now on?  Why can't men have cool body wash haha.

I really like memories.  I find comfort in them.  When I'm feeling down I can go back and relive those happy times.  I can see people that I miss.  Just remembering is fine, but a picture can really remind you of what was happening at that time.  And there will be things you forget but having pictures will remind you "oh yeah, we did that!"

There is a certainty in the past that you can't have with the future and even the present.  Maybe it sounds like I live too much in the past and am afraid to look to the future, but that's not really it.  I just like to appreciate the past and photos let me do that.

Favorite Sound & Smell

My second most favorite sound is the steady pat pat pat of rain drops crashing into the earth. The rain can't be too heavy or too light, it has to be just right, and it must maintain consistency. My favorite sound is nothing. Late at night when you go outside and there are no cars, no people, nothing man-made running and all you hear is the sound of nothing. Time stops for me for whatever reason when I hear nothing and I love it.  Right now there's not a sound going on outside my apartment and it's music to my ears. My favorite smell is the aroma of morning. It reminds me of getting up and waiting for the school bus in my elementary school days. There is also just something about the morning smell that smells so good. There is probably a scientific answer as to what it is, but I'm not sure of what it is. It's unfortunate that I am not a morning person.

End it Please

So it's still going with Toronto girl. Today marks exactly 2 months since we matched on Facebook dating. She continues to ignore any message that is even slighty flirtatious. When she does find a topic she wants to talk about then she'll reply with meaninginful messages, but if the topic I bring up isn't that exciting she'll straight up just ignore me. I wish I had more self respect so I could just end this myself, but I don't, so I can't. This is all I have and if it ends I'll go back to having nothing. I hate myself for letting myself be strung along like this. I hate myself for being so undesirable. I hate myself for not being able to connect with people. It seems like she is trying to get me to be bored and just let our conversation slow fade. I am not going to let that happen though! I am tired of this slow fade, ghosting, whatever else shit. Just come out and say you're not feeling it. I don't know why she continues to let this drag ...

It Goes On

 These blog posts never seem to change in tone. I'm on some meds and in a boot for my feet issue.  I don't think it's working as my feet still hurt and I see no real improvement.  I am going to try more stuff, but I wonder if hurt feet is just my reality from now on. Over the last month or so I got 3 matches on Facebook dating.  They all live in Seattle with me in Vancouver.  One was 4.5 hours away, the other was 3, the other a little over 2.  The 3 hour away one fizzled for seemingly no reason after she seemed fine to have a date just that weekend.  The 4.5 hour away one fizzled after figuring out how far away I was.  She never looked at my profile and figured it out??  I was still willing to try too.  Over a month later I'm still talking to the 2 hour one, but it feels like if I don't say interesting things she'll take days to reply.  I feel no real interest coming from her and it's just a matter of time before I get blocked....
