My public persona is definitely a façade many fall for. I smile, laugh, comfort, make conversation, and exchange all pleasantries. Why, because I am a people’s person, and I love working with individuals.
However, truth be told, I have become a rather cold person. Yes I still become emotional about some things, I’m human, but things do not affect like they used to. When I cry, its not due to being sad, but being so frustrated-so angry.
Take for instance the day of my birthday get-together. I found myself frustrated with the amount of people who canceled last minute. Had it been a normal gathering, per se at my place, it would have been an issue. However, it was at a bowling alley where I had to reserve lanes in order to accommodate my guests. I had planned early, and requested conformation for attendance plenty of times. Yet still, last minute people were canceling, and I was watching possible book money go down the drain. So out of pure frustration and talking to my lovely cousin who was trying to cheer me up, I cried. Nonetheless, I had a wonderful time with those who came to celebrate.
Later that night, something very shady went down. I will not go into complete details, but a best friend, whom I thought would have some respect for me crossed the line. Now instead of going off, doing bodily harm, belittling, or anything of that nature- I stayed abnormally calmed…got out the car… and walked home at 2am. I didn’t cry, throw things or anything. I was just extremely pissed off, and cut that best friend out of my life telling him to refrain from contacting me.
As of late, I notice how easy it is to dismiss someone from my life without a second thought or feeling. Am I proud of this, no. At the same time I almost do not care.
I’m starting to wonder, if I am truly losing the warm caring part of myself.
That’s it for now, maybe I will expand on this later.

Your older now ... its just gonna keep getting worst.
Hate to sound so negative, but as the weight of the world keeps coming ... you retract.
But there is hope ... goos tuff happens later. Your talented and smart, so you'll have plenty good days to warm your spirits later in life.
For now ... enjoy it. I loved my "emotionless" phase.
