Maybe I Keep Overthinking Things...

Sometimes I feel like I'm overthinking things. My head is constantly asking the "what if..." questions. Then again I feel like I'm hitting a mid-life crisis and I'm not even 20 yet. Maybe because my life has gone nowhere or at least the direction I'd want it to go in the 19 years of my existence.

Maybe it's because all but a week of my life have I been single. I guess I just want to find my soulmate in the worst way. I know he's out there and yes, I believe it's Howie.

I don't know what has gotten into me lately, but I can't shake the feeling of wanting to find him. It means a lot to me, because deep down in my heart, I know he's the one.

In the past few days I've wanted to scream. I know that good things come to those who wait, but at this stage of my life, it'd getting a little crazy. All the hope I've had for nearly 5 years is turning into despair. My friend that helps me through it all moved away to Kentucky, so we barely get to chill and talk about it. I know she's there for me, but it feels like a lost my source of confidence.

I don't really know if I can get the words out. I'm really embarassed. I don't want to be thought of as insane. I don't like being asked why I love Howie so much for 2 reasons:

1) It's my answer. What happens if I meet another Howie fan and I get asked that question. If I get told the truth, they could take my answer and when they talk to Howie, it could be my words they're using.

2) I know that I love him. I'm a very romantic person. I just want him to know how I feel and that's the truth. I feel like I could be laughed at for my reason and I don't want that to happen.

I'm confusing, I'm confused. I don't know. Wait, I don't even think anyone even reads my diary cause I don't get responses. Anyway, my biggest fear is that Howie would meet "Miss Right" and I won't even get my chance. Well, I'm gonna find him if it kills me. I'm gonna write letters everywhere and contact everyone that can help.

I feel like I'm alone, but my love for Howie isn't a lonely feeling. It's not supposed to be...so someone...help me.

Backstreet hugs & Howie kisses,
