a bit of sad and mad

Tonight I've been amazed at how the simple things make life so much better. The sunset across the desert was blazing orange surrounded by bright pink wisps of clouds. It reminded me of an old 80's beach towel that we used to have at home that I absolutely loved in spite it's thread bareness and ineffectiveness. Brings back memories of late nights spent on the lake when everything was so much simpler. Standing out in the middle of the desert surrounded by beauty that cannot be duplicated by man's hands was soothing and unsettling at the same time. I was hit with the realization that I am very much so alone.

I finally met Katie in a very unofficial way. Running on treadmills next to each other isn't exactly meeting her. I can't even explain the anger and sadness that hit me. Not anger at her; sadness for her and anger for him. Once again, I'm surprised at the amount of emotion that I seem to have saved up for situations like these. This brings up the question: Will I ever truly be finished so that I won't feel anything when I see him or something related to him? Guess not... it's mine to deal with. I'm not tortured by it; just saddened every time.
