“Wouldn’t you rather forgo some of those crazy albeit fun college experiences to work hard and maintain good grades and get that well-paying job so as to make it easier, and maybe even more so enjoyable in the future? I think I can live with the idea: knowing that I worked hard so that everything in the long-run would be just that much sweeter.”
everything is so incredibly on...

“Nothing good gets away.”
and you know it’s good when you’re falling in love all over again each and every day for the same reasons as much as the new ones.

Just a note to myself!
giving up fast food places with drive thrus, haha. with the exception of purchasing drinks or anything of that sort (basically avoid the fried food aspect of it okay)
stop procrastinating lol
be hard on yourself when you see it necessary, but for the most part: don’t be so hard on yourself!!

wow, pms, could you please lay off on the mood swings?
afsajfdkjgsd do work tonight.
quick recap of my wonderful weekend!
thursday
boyfriend came over! watched drive (which, i was reminded immediately, is extremely violent so we were kind of flinching and cringing the whole time) and a bit of contagion
watched some 30 rock. it’s pretty good! chill night overall
took nate home
friday- late valentines day date/four month anniversary :3
drove over in the morning
decided...
“Don’t go with the convenient or most expedient fit and settle. Always, always, always, go with THE fit. You’ll never regret it.” i wish i was there when hughes gave this talk to whatever period it was. i’m sure, on that day, we had some alternate version of it, but when i saw this posted i couldn’t help but think that there are some people in your life who will always...

i’m selfish. i really am. you see, i’m perpetually reminded about this time limit, perpetually reminded that not at this time and place yet can that time overlap, coincide with one another at all times — there will come a time for that, one day, should we see it happen — but still i cling to the idea, hoping, wishing, maybe, that things will slow down. just for a little...
tmi about my scars, heads up!
not going to lie, i’m kind of anxious about my appointment on friday! my scars have been bothering me a lot as of lately, and to be honest, nothing i’ve been using over the past couple of months have really been effectual. i’m really not expecting that whatever she tells me should be groundbreaking; i’ve almost come to terms with their...
i just remembered that i had the strangest dream last night! it’s actually been a while since i’ve had any really vivid dreams, so this one struck a particular chord, i guess? that and just, i don’t know, the content of it! so, i’ve kind of lost fragments of it since the morning (the cons of not immediately jotting this down, but i digress), but basically: in my dream, i...
it’s so cute that my friends refer to nate and i as the power couple of the century. haha. thanks, guys!
(`･ω･´)
happy camper! can’t wait to share.
goodness gracious i need to set my sleeping pattern straight.

how wonderful it is to be able to just sit down across the table over some lunch, or lie in bed with someone on the other line and just pour whatever fragment of a thought, idea, or concern comes to mind. it’s been a general trend in my days. i think, for me, it’s so easy to get caught up in the mindset that i can resolve everything on my own. it stems from the fear of being a burden...
just wanted to say that i’m really thankful for this amazing, solid group of friends. i’ll be honest, really: i was around throughout the entirety of these past couple years but it was only recently that i started getting close with them. it’s been nothing short of good times with these guys, i’ll tell you. all the silly conversations we’re able to openly have with...

i think (read: think) i know why it’s been so difficult for me to write on here. you see, at my very core, i’ve always thought myself an idealist through and through. that attribute always seemed to translate and weave itself into my writing, which was more often than not, inclined toward that whimsical nature. but lately i’ve found myself grounded in reality. it’s a...
it so happens that one of my favorite things are the quiet hours. a few, fleeting moments on the brink of consciousness and sleep to take it all in. the good, the bads, the trivial, the little, the significant, the in-betweens. and at the end of the day, i know my place— a word of thanks (and then some—maybe a million times over).
mm, you already know though!

things to be happy about today
the way that the fading afternoon sunlight filters through my blinds from where i’m sitting
the unperturbed stillness of the house on days like this, afternoons to wrap myself around and round in words, spoken and print
the feeling of inspiration dancing in my head like sparklers, traveling down to my fingertips where they communicate what my lips...
i have my reasons
and stand by them.
i’m genuinely excited for the columnist project we’ve been assigned in language. i’ve always believed in the importance of education, but not solely limited to education provided in a public setting as a school, but also in current affairs. i’ll have to admit that as of late, i haven’t been keeping up and informing myself to such a degree that i feel comfortably...
contrary to any sparse comments of the “i hate everything” nature (which i’ll attribute now to the inability to eat whatever and whenever i want), it was a nice first day back to school! i didn’t realize how much i missed seeing some people and it was genuinely nice to be reunited. maybe it’s this time of year in particular, but i just feel hyper-aware of just about...

focus.
back in this.
i’m just tired of being upset, so i’ll be happy instead. everything that has been said and done has passed, and i’ll leave it there where it belongs. no more of this.
i can never stay mad at anyone for too long, but what you did to me still upsets me. you apologized and all but it still hurts a little to know that you felt the need to go there to prove your point. i love you and will forgive you with time, but that didn’t need to happen.
- read/edit personal statements sent to me - finish up fafsa - calc homework - physics lab/notebook - review books for tonight/the rest of the weekend. first three by tonight, at least! :D school grind again. hopefully getting a tutor for physics to help me end this semester strong, and if all goes well, i’ll also be picking up that tutoring job. twice a week for helping this lady’s...
i can’t stand that my mind never lets me rest.
yesterday, all routine joking and laughter aside, the conversation turned strangely honest in a quick beat. this is how it usually unfolds—the laughing, the inside jokes, the quieting down, talks about the future—it always leads back to there, like some strange gravitational pull. i forget in which context i said this, more than likely on the subject of college, but i asked him,...
it’s rather unfortunate that i don’t have time to do my routine recap of the year, but if time permits, i’ll try to stay up and accomplish that. 2011 was an amazing, unforgettable year. i’ve got some resolutions sitting up in my silly little head so hopefully i don’t forget them by the time i head home (which is just a matter of a mad dash across the street, you...

we learn to associate vulnerability with weakness, a gateway for humility and shame and other unwanted emotions. that’s what we’ve been taught our entire lives: to assert yourself, every man for himself, trust no one with the expectation that in this way, no one will let you down. that in this way, you’re safe; you’ve got it figured out for yourself. we’re taught to...
