“I meant to write about death, only life came breaking in as usual.”
– Virginia Woolf (via hateshiploveship)
Hey America, I have a cute idea. At least sort out your health care system, hand gun violence, unemployment, public education, gay marriage, marijuana legislation and middle east conflict before you fuck around with the internet because let’s face it, there are bigger issues in the world than someone uploading a photo with a musician in it.

I get really annoyed when
people make snide comments about me being skinny. I am naturally very slender with a high metabolism. No, I am not anorexic. I eat as healthy as I can, and on some days I pig out. I exercise because it’s healthy to have physical activity, not because I’m trying to lose weight. I’m not trying to say women with curves or bigger women shouldn’t love their curves or anything,...
Sometimes words fail.
neverlosemyvoice:
Sometimes they don’t sound all pretty and poetic, strung together and edited over and over again. Sometimes they’re ugly. Sometimes they’re said in choppy sentences, or screamed and cried and blubbered like a baby until they don’t even seem to make sense anymore. And those are the words that mean the most: the words that others can hardly make out over our gasping cries. More...
This year
has been quite the experience. From beginning to end, I’ve been pushed so hard. Pushed to my breaking point. Pushed in every way imaginable. Emotionally. Emotionally pushed so hard. Punched, stomped on, broken so badly that I thought I’d never recover. The truth is, even the thought of it brings a lump to my throat, tears to my eyes. The truth is, the thought of it makes me want to...

It's funny how fast things can change, right?
How fast in the matter of seconds I can lose all respect for a person. How fast you go down on my list when I find out you’ve been talking about my friends. How fast, you can go from one of the people I love, to someone I loathe. How fast I judge you for making that racist remark towards me. How fast I judge you for associating with the person that made that remark. How fast you become...

It's nights like these where I wish I could stop...
I can’t sleep. I can’t think straight. I can’t help but to stray. I can’t understand what’s going through my head. I can’t help but to think of the possibilities. I can’t help it. I can’t help but to think of how different life would be.
I don’t want to think. I want to keep the so called perfect life mapped out for me. But I can’t help...
You know what I love?

I love when you can just sit in silence with another person without it being awkward. It shows how close and comfortable you are with each other.

Saturday was a
great day. It started out kinda rough, but it ended up being a really good day.
Saturday afternoon, the marching band was supposed to be going to a football game, but when I woke up it was snowing outside and I put on about 7 pairs of leggings/ pants. No exaggeration. After going outside and realizing my jazz shoes would be soaked in about five minutes, I somehow ran back to my dorm to get my...
You need to stop
living in a world of make believe. Getting here takes hard work and some amount of effort. Being here takes work. You can’t just piss away the day smoking here. You have to work. You can’t go to class high every morning. Not if you want to pass. Teachers here don’t really care if you’re “sick”. No, you can’t turn in late work. This isn’t high school...

That's soooo fetch

Homewreckers
make me so mad. Why do you need to go after someone who already has a commitment? Can’t you find someone single? Today, on the bus I heard a girl say “I’m going to hook up with a guy soon, and he has a girlfriend. Maybe I shouldn’t do that, right? Whatever he’s hot.” That made me so angry that I could barely keep myself together. I wanted to scream at her and...
So, there's this girl named Caroline,
and she’s laying on my bed. She just gave ten points to Gryffindor. Isn’t that cool? Yeah, it is. She’s obsessed with Justin Bieber. But, she likes Harry Potter so that’s okay. Caroline comes into our room because hers is a sauna and she loves April and me! :D
Haha, she asked me to blog about her, so here it is!

"Eudaimonia,
which is here translated by ‘happiness’. This translation is somewhat misleading because in English happiness refers to a feeling. For Aristotle happiness was more than a feeling; it was also a way of acting and living. Hence, some have translated it as a human ‘flourishing’.”

All I did was care.
All I did was tell you what you needed to do. For what is best for you. For what is good for you. And you tell me that I sound like your mother, and I’m nagging you. If caring for somebody is nagging, then yes, I am nagging. If wanting you to be able to do what you want to without being in pain is nagging, then I’m nagging. I don’t understand why I was disrespected just because I...

College.
So, college. This past week has been pretty crazy, and today was my first day of classes. I love it so far. I moved in a week early for marching band, and I got seriously toned last week at band camp. But I still met a ton of new and fun people!
Then my roommate, April moved in on Friday! And then we had a hurricane. It was good stuff! Not really. At 12:30 a.m. on Sunday morning, the fire alarm...
What is
the point of name calling? I’m not talking about joking little pet names. I’m talking about downright rude and appalling remarks about somebody. I mean are you so inarticulate that you must resort to called somebody a “pussy” or a “fag”? Really? Is that the worst thing? To be considered a homosexual or some kind of slur or “trash” the...

I believe in the magic of books. I believe that during certain periods in our lives we are drawn to particular books— whether it be strolling down the aisle of a secondhand bookshop with no particular idea of what we want and suddenly finding the most perfect, most wonderfully suitable book staring us in the face, or a chance meeting with a stranger who happens to recommend a book for...
Time is
flying. Summer is over half over. Trung and I’s two year anniversary was five days ago. Next week is August. Then I move in on the 21st, a week earlier than everyone else because of band. I don’t know when I’ll have time to come home again, if at all because of my ridiculously busy schedule. Time is just going so fast. Too fast. I haven’t done nearly as much as I wanted...

Every single time.
(And that “crazy” isn’t just an offhand word, it’s always crucial to the rhetoric to make sure the violent white person(s) can be at least vaguely described as such, to establish mental instability as the source of their actions.)
