This is a place to show you a thought or two. The things that I love and the things that strike me to the core. A peek into a piece of soul.

So you have chosen aloneness. You have chosen the security and the relative freedom of solitude, because there is no risk involved. You can stay up every night and watch your TV shows and eat ice cream out of the box and scroll through your Tumblr and never let your brain sit still, not even for a moment. You can fill your days up with books and coffees and trips to the store where you forget what you wanted the second you walk in the automatic sliding door. You can do so many little, pointless things throughout the day that all you can think of is how badly you want to sleep, how heavy your whole body is, how much your feet hurt. You can wear yourself out again and again on the pavement, and you do, and it feels good. No one will ever bridge that gap and point to your stomach or your hair or your eyes in the mirror and magically make you see the wonderful things about getting to be next to you. And maybe that’s it, after all, this fear that no one will ever truly feel about you the way you want to be felt about. Maybe what you want is someone to make you love yourself, to put sense into all that positive rhetoric, to make it so the aloneness of TV and blasting music in your ears at all times isn’t the most happy place you can think of. Maybe you want someone who makes you so sure of how wonderful things are that you cannot help but to tell them your feelings first, even at the risk of being humiliated. Because you will know that, when you’re telling them you love them, what you’re really saying is “I love who I become when I am with you.

male entitlement in academic spaces is so boring. can’t tell you how many times i’ve been in a class and a girl gives a short, insightful analysis, and then a dude raises his hand and says “jumping off of that…” then says literally the same thing she said but longer and worse.

I hate to be that guy, but it doesn’t just happen to women. The assholes who do that will do that to anyone who’s analysis isn’t sufficiently complex and long winded for them. 

Been done to me by people of both genders. 

Also I have been guilty of doing this, so I apologize. Because I was overly excited and just couldn’t wait to talk…. yeah. 

(Nothing is ever clear cut eh….)

I don't know what's worse: being woken up abruptly (with only 1 hour of sleep accomplished) because your dad doesn't want you asleep while no one is home?? Or him further adding on that you still need to finish washing dishes in a slightly condescending way. I don't understand why me sleeping when everyone is either at work or traveling is an issue (especially of safety) but the fact that that logic has been used before too is mad annoying. At 8 AM, on a Sunday morning no less...gosh. I'm an adult. I'm getting at least 5 more hours of sleep, whether the world turns or not and regardless of whatever crazy situations are being thought up by paranoid minds. I'm so unpleasant right now so back up ✋

Holla @ myself.

Always casually walking the line between ‘this guy likes you’ and ‘you’re not hot shit chill out’.

But let me just say that recently this has come up more than I would like to admit, and it’s already been proven that my intuition was correct. So basically the moral of the story is the moment you start really focusing on bettering yourself and loving you, others somehow will focus on you. The awesome part about this is that your value and self-worth aren’t dependent on whether you have good social visibility or appeal because you’re already doing so good on your own and it shouldn’t matter anyway!

Growing into my own feels splendid and I’m taking no prisoners!

Best advice my 19 year old roommate gave me

“Just give him three days. Wait three days, no texts, no calls, no nothing. Then see if he comes back” “What if I can’t wait three days tho??” “You see the thing is, you keep running back to him and he gets off on it. He knows he’s gonna have you coming back to him. Why not give him three days and make him realize, oh shit it’s serious, I’m really losing her!” “What if he doesn’t even come back?” “Then why would you wanna be with someone that doesn’t want you? Why would you wanna be with someone like that?”

Life = Life

Life is life, that is for certain.

But in this equality is a paradox. Equality is synonymous with fairness, and life can certainly not be that.

Complications abound in multiple ways and in multiple realms.

Right now, for me at least, social complications are being the bane of my existence.

It is idyllic of me to wish for all my relationships with people to just work and flow effortlessly, but the ones you truly care about you put effort into. You work and fight for them. The reality is much more harsh.

I should not have to question your trust. In questioning, you’ve already lost mine. How bitter is the taste of betrayal, but how sweet is the taste of truth.

I won’t allow you the privilege of seeing me hurt, or give you the opportunity to bask in a false feeling of heightened self-worth over any distress I endure. If you revel in my pain, then you are definitely not a friend or an acquaintance I would like to associate with. The vile things that come out of your thoughtless mouth show me your character and your warped mind.

I am disappointed. I don’t feel like a stupid person for trusting you. You once were fine but have morphed into an untrustworthy identity. That’s not my fault.

I hope you grow out of your toxicity. I will pray for you and for the truth to let itself shine through. I’ll keep the memories, they were nice. I hope you find a better future for yourself, because I am and it’s without you.

I forgive you. It is enough.
