I've always felt that writing feelings and situations down helps me to understand them better. I have been doing this on and off for some years. However, I would like to publish these thoughts so other people may read them. I'm under no dillusions that anyone will, but I like the idea of these emotions being published in a public forum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will say a little about me. I am a 22 year old man living in England. I am gay. I have recently felt that I have met my soulmate in this world. My viewpoint may be somewhat narcissistic, and I have always felt that I would find someone who will be that perfect partner. However there is a problem with this happy scenario: the person I have these feelings for is unsure what to do, and whether he wishes to pursue this relationship. This has caused me great turmoil, and made me question my feelings completely. I have scrutinised them carefully, and am now as certain as ever that this is the way I really feel. I am unsure what I can do, and truth be told, there is nothing that I &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;can&lt;/span&gt; do, but right now I feel completely powerless.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have nothing more to say at the moment, I will update this page as often as I feel like it.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/33014640-115600972852784493?l=benjyben.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://benjyben.blogspot.com/feeds/115600972852784493/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=33014640&amp;postID=115600972852784493' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33014640/posts/default/115600972852784493'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/33014640/posts/default/115600972852784493'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://benjyben.blogspot.com/2006/08/im-unsure-what-i-should-start-with.html' title=''/><author><name>Ben</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16519306481513441531</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
