There is a difference between the pain you cause yourself and the pain controlled by others. You can find joy easily in the latter, as you cannot control what others do; then, you still have your self-respect, your self-love. When you cause the destruction yourself, the only thing you’re left with is the knowledge you have to be different. That you are at fault. You cannot fall back on being...

dubiousmerchant asked: Yes, do your damn paper. What's it on? Is it a stupid topic? If so, I understand your not doing it right now. Or wanting to do it ever. But you GOTTA.

GET OFF THE INTERNET!
and stop listening to glee’s version of Bad Romance, and stop watching keeping up with the kardashian and stop uploading old pictures onto tumblr and stop looking at pictures of adriana lima
and all other guilty pleasures should cease and desist as well.
GO DO YOUR PAPER RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT NOW.

Hello, hope, my old friend. It’s been a while, but i am super psyched that you’re back. I’ve missed you terribly.
Your little imposters, the crazy desperate type of hope-moments that happen when things get really sucky had me thinking you’d changed.
I was worried, I’ll admit.
I thought I’d seen you at your best, and now you’ve passed your peak and...
Restoration Hard(times)Ware.
I never felt the distraught of the economy so strongly as when I applied for a retail job and was competing with two middle-aged men attempting to provide for their families.
Yes, I want your twins to have food on their table, obviously.
But what on earth is a broke girl supposed to do in these unfortunate times??

accept.
I’m trying to be super. Every fiber in me is pulling together and towards that ultimate end goal.
Sure, for now I just want to be ok.
But I’d like to feel fabulous.
But for now, I’m just trying to be ok.
But for today, I’m ok with being ok.
It takes work to get something to work.
But getting me in working order
is an order im willing to work at.
I’ll...

Wiretapping first came to us as a possible issue in 1928.
Also the first time it was rendered legal,
after a challenge by a lonely individual.
No matter how far we’ve come…
It’s funny how things stay the same.

“Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go”
– T.S. Eliot
Directions.
I’m not sure how we got here
When we landed,
where we’ve been stranded,
when we’ll return.
The sun dims,
its rays shorten—
the day is nearly done.
Our time together
is almost gone.
This fancy little trip,
this excuse of a reality.
And we’ve wasted these times
these perfect times
to laugh and to smirk
to cry and to flirt
to dream and to run
to play...

Progress.
(I haven’t written anything in a while. I’ve been in a rut. I’m getting over it. Let’s move on)
I’ve made some bad decisions lately: getting drunk, letting people get me down, avoiding schoolwork, procrastinating, avoiding a lot of other things, watching the hills marathon, skipping half of my workout, buying cereal, spending all my money, not getting a job.
Jesus...

Sooo, I read a magazine article about a guy who got hit by a semi, was in a coma for many months, and who proceeded to within the next year be on a college swim team AND BE COMPETING IN MARATHONS…..AND TRIATHLONS. WHAT THE HECK!? Why is that not me? Well because I’m not at all a natural athlete. BUT, it is still unbelievably inspiring. If a guy who was never supposed to walk again...

Luda, the gentleman.
I have seen QUITE a bit of Ludacris lately, and it is definitely making me reconsider what I thought of him before. I will definitely not pretend to know more than NEXT TO NOTHING about the world of hip-hop. Like, I GET IT. But half of the time I definitely am struggling to get it. I get the struggle, I get the attitude, I get that. (Sort of) BUT, I cannot say that I’m fluent in the...

1. Got the new she & him. Better than the first, as far as I can tell so far. Definitely an upper. Specifically Lingering Still. M. Ward is my fave, especially as he keeps getting better and better.
2. My fingers def hurt after learning my first chord change! Well on my way to guitar-goddess standing. Not really, but it’s the biggest start yet. I’m so tempted to not learn...
