coldhearted:
littlemiss:
Falling in love.
Hearing your favorite song on the radio.
Lying in bed listening to the rain outside.
Oreos.
Bubble baths.
Giggling.
Long conversations at night.
The beach.
Running through sprinklers.
Laughing at an inside joke.
Laughing at yourself.
Laughing so hard your stomach hurts.
Laughing for absolutely no reason at all.
Having somebody tell you...

I pose a question:
Today Psychology was interesting. Remind me to talk about what I learned later. Right now, in thinking about the psychological side of things. Every time I look at my Dashboard I’m reminded that real people do exist, real people who do express their deepest convictions and truest dreams. They are owning up to their fears, their mistakes, their wishes… and they do so without wondering...

Silly things
Over the summer I was insanely bored at work so I started a list of things I want to do during my life.
Save up enough money for a plane ticket to Alaska so I can visit my big sister (who I’ve only seen three or four times in 18 years) and her daughter (who I have never had the joy of meeting).
Go to Cairo and stay in the $6-per-night hostel I found online.
Skydive, scubadive, bungee...

I would like to fall in love, just once, with someone who loves me too.

“What will be, will be.”
2009 must be the year to reach certain realizations about yourself. As much as I try to avoid the things that hurt me in the past, they always creep up while I’m not looking and then I’m forced to step back and look at my big picture. If my psyche was visual, to be displayed on a canvas or a movie screen, it would probably look ragged and torn on...
Fresh Start
We all want and need new beginnings. A fresh, clean, untainted start. We think a new home, a new job, a new romance, a new car, a new state or a new name can do that. It cannot. We are given a new start with every choice we make. We can choose to do what is right or choose to do what is wrong. Every morning we are given a new day to begin making new choices. Every opportunity can be a new...

Most women do not creep by daylight.
I finally read The Yellow Wallpaper.
Two years later, I finally got around to reading it. But every time I started to enjoy it, an overwhelming sadness crept up. I felt guilty for not reading it when it was assigned, for trying to make up for not reading it with a half-assed answer to a question about it in class, and for not being able to enjoy the story without thinking about my dead English...

I’m trying to put myself back together here. I’d like to sit here and write about all the things that run through my head every day but I don’t have the patience. I don’t like to read people’s lengthly accounts about their jobs and pets and grocery store excursions. I like reading things people write about life in general, because life is a relative topic (lol?) and...
They were only words and I never meant them.
You won't feel like this forever.

playnice:
You’ve been through a lot. You’ve met real challenges and you’ve felt genuine pain. I promise, you won’t feel this way forever. It will pass. Wallowing and rehashing are impulses to be ignored because they keep you bummed out and stagnant. Don’t forget how great you are. You’re strong, brave, compassionate, and smart. Even when you’re blue, you are deeply loved....

So I took your licks at the time, And to change like that is just so hard to do, Hard to do. Don’t let it whip-crack your life, And bow out from the fight, ‘Cause oh, how your sisters will write. The worst part is over, Now, get back on that horse and ride.
