my best friend's girl
Okay, today, I mean, seriously, WTF?
First of all, it was negative nips outside and I was ALMOST late for school. Then, we got a practice test to take home for microbiology. I stuck it in my purse because my bookbag was already on my back. As I am walking the couple hundred feet to my car, I hear this strange sound. I turn around to realize that my practice test has blown out of my purse and is...
Rules to Live By
andreajavelosa:
1. If you’re too open-minded, your brains will fall out. 2. Don’t worry about what people think; they don’t do it very often. 3. Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. 4. It ain’t the jeans that make your butt look fat. 5. Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity. 6. My idea of housework is to sweep...
I sure hope there’s a socially awkward club for me out west…i’m gonna need it

Aren’t the best things in life the little secrets that you keep? Not because you are ashamed, not because you want to hide it from everyone. Just because you feel like if you tell someone (or too many people) that it won’t feel as wonderful and real anymore. As if a hole would open up in the earth and swallow up your secret and all your happiness.
I love secrets.
I lied to myself and said it was for the best

shit, Oregon!
One day, without any triggers, it just hit. “I gotta get out of here.” It didn’t matter where, does it ever? This time however, was different. There was a map, previously hidden, guiding the way. All of a sudden there was meaning to everything. It was more exciting than scary. There was urgency. Preparedness. Leaps. Risks. Chances.
It’s not going to be easy, but things...
20 years of bad decisions havent taught me much at all
2009 : A Year in Review
Alright, I wanted to start this post awhile ago, but I figure with a little taste of 2010 behind me, it’s a good time to write this.

Nothing’s better than the movie that’s playing in my head right now…
It breaks my heart to see people doubt themselves.
kalliopephoenix:
I see so many people who give up before they can fully reach their true potential. Myself included, perhaps, but this isn’t about me. It’s not just about people I care about or even people that I know. It’s about people in general.
It is a beautiful thing, to be confident in what you are doing. I see people like this very rarely, who go into everything with a positive or...
A letter from your heart...literally
Dear Lorrin,
I know that you are scared. There are many reasons to be scared, but so many more reasons to be excited. You are meant to succeed, you were born for it. I’m not just saying that because we are close, it’s true. You have this spark in your eyes that is fading the longer you stay in this place. When was the last time you did something completely spontaneous and awesome? Oh,...

Do you get it?
We spend all this time trying to measure…some things you just can’t measure. Love comes in all shapes and sizes. Don’t measure it. It just is.
Stop asking why…
the answer is always because.
