Sometimes I laugh at everyone’s attempt to be an individual. To be a nonconformist. Myself, included. We all strive to be different, and strive to be accepted. We follow trends in order to reach this goal. In the end, we’re all the same. Conformists seeking nonconformity.

Screamo is music that speaks for the soul. When you’re in a place of despair and all you want to do is scream. Screamo screams for you.

Sometimes I wonder why I bother watching romantic films or reading romantic novels. All the romance, the depth, and passion you find in a 2 hour long movie or 300 page book, I can find in a 3 minute song.

Sometimes I think the youth of the world needs a massive reality check. You, me included. Our concept of “everyone” is so far beyond the truth, its slightly ridiculous.
“You think everyone loves you. But the truth is, everyone hates you.” This insult is so overused, its become somewhat of a cliche. Who’s everyone? 5 people? 10?
There are over 6 billion people on...

Sometimes I wonder why tragedies trump comedies for me. Or the general population for that matter. Why is it that tragedies are so appreciated? So embraced? Marketed because its known to please the population?
Is it because our society is masochistic? Or is it because watching others suffer lessens our own pain? Or is it because we can relate to the on-screen performances?

Sometimes I wonder if people who have had an impact on you realize it. Like their one piece of advice, a single string of words, or even considerate gesture could have deeply affected you. But they don’t know it. They don’t know how much you appreciate it, treasure it. How they have made a difference in your life. How could they know? Especially if you don’t tell them.
So thank...

Sometimes I feel like life is passing me by. Like its just flying by and I just can’t seem to grasp it. Like you’re at a subway station and you just missed the subway. It flies into the tunnel whether you’re on it or not and despite your best efforts, you’ll never make it on.

Life List = Make a Difference.
After seeing Whitey’s desire to “make a difference,” I realized how much I want make an impact as well. I don’t have to make a huge difference; I don’t plan on saving the world. But small things, like making someone smile when they’re having an off day. Things like that help; I know that if I were in that position, I would appreciate someone making an effort to...

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at the door. SON: ‘Daddy, may I ask you a question?’ DAD: ‘Yeah sure, what it is?’ replied the man. SON: ‘Daddy, how much do you make an hour?’ DAD: ‘That’s none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?’ the man said angrily. SON: ‘I just...

Sometimes I wonder how I can be such a hypocrite. I say I’m a huge advocate of honesty when the truth is I lie. I’m a pathological liar. I lie on a daily basis.
In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever answered the question “How are you?” honestly.

Sometimes I feel so ignorant. Like, I’m so oblivious to the outside world and I have no clue about anything going on outside my own life. I feel as if I’m trapped inside my own selfish, conceited bubble.

Sometimes I wonder why people are so intent on feeling no pain. I think pain can change someone for the better. To teach someone to appreciate the good, to seize opportunities. Pain is powerful.

Sometimes, I think my feelings reflect the weather. I’ve cried so much this weekend. And its rained so much.
I’ve spent this entire weekend holed up in my house watching romantic films leaving me sobbing uncontrollably. I found myself making the mental note: Must find a boy like this. Must.
And then I realized that I was creating false hopes and that boys like that don’t exist....

I’m the worst sort of clingy. When I know we’re okay, I don’t cling. I keep you at a distance. When you realize that you don’t want me anymore, I cling. I cling like there’s no tomorrow. I cling like my life depends on it. I cling to the point where I physically emotionally bind myself to you.
Because I realize your worth to me. But then you leave.

Its been about a year since you left me. It doesn’t matter how long it’s been in actuality, Because it feels like its been an entire lifetime. I never realized how lucky I was to have found someone like you. Someone who understood me, who read me like a book, Who could see past my bullshit. Our personalities completed each other, What I lack, you have. What I have, you lack. Talks with...

Have you ever felt so alone in the world? So isolated from everyone and everything?
Like your thoughts are trapped and you’re only a facade. No one understands you because no one will appreciate you. No one bothers to understand because you don’t bother to let them in.
Food for thought.

resolutions.
Almost forgot about these things. Well, here we go:
1. Pick up some hobbies - must try flower-pressing! Sewing, perhaps. Something creative outside of my sketchbook.
2. Get some sort of exercise. Frankly, I’m out of shape and well, the gut might become extremely visible soon. Must try those convenient little workout pages out of Seventeen.
3. Start that vlog that I’ve been so antsy...

I like the giddy feeling you get from getting an insane bargain. Today, I bought a bottle of hair serum for about eight dollars. It was originally twenty-three dollars. Hardcore.
Bargain-hunting to the max. (No, just kidding. That’s the lady who can turn a 200 dollar purchase to only paying a penny. True life story. Coupons = ticket to the Promised Land)
Your age by chocolate math.
Don’t tell me your age; you’d probably lie anyway- but the Hershey Man will know! This is pretty neat. DON’T CHEAT BY SCROLLING DOWN FIRST! It takes less than a minute . Work this out as you read . Be sure you don’t read the bottom until you’ve worked it out! This is not one of those waste of time things, it’s fun. 1. First of all, pick the number of times a...
