I cried earlier. A friend rang me up and I told her everything, that my day was terrible. We talked about a lot of things. In the middle of all my crying, an ant crawled right in front of me. Not long afterwards, he stopped moving and died. There was another ant not a foot behind him and soon they met up, and then the second ant picked him up and carried him away, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything that sad in my life.

Somewhere.
Stop and make sure that everything you are doing right now is really what makes you happy. You can’t just live for some goal in the future and have that be everything … have that be it. Because that is what some people do. They get on this road and there are all these signs saying, ‘This way. That way.’ But what if you get there, you get exactly what you wanted, like some people do, except all the things that were wrong, are still wrong. Then what?

Mighty little man.
There are still these days.
You write things in your head while showering
and lose approximately one-third of your lines
before you wrap a towel around your body.
The cat presses her face into your neck
and you wish it was somebody else. These things
are simple enough, but the truth is
you don’t know how to align anyone, but
when you’re with him the circles come together.
(via finallyseeing)
Cute.

Time is tricky. You have whole months, even years, when nothing changes a speck, when you don’t go anywhere or do anything or think one new thought. And then you can get hit with a day or an hour, or half a second, when so much happens its almost like you are born all over again into some brand-new person you for damn sure never expected to meet.

I believe
that there are still mysteries in the world, and wonders, and surprises.
I believe that fun is a renewable resource.
That there are some things, that you will never be able to download.
I believe that when we celebrate life, in creatures big and small, we discover connections that stay with us forever.
Happy Valentines Day.
:]

Is it so bad to say I want everything that Shay and Blake have?
They are the reason I have hope. Their love for each other is incredible, it's
adorable, it's amazing, it's forever. I just want that. I want to feel
what Shay feels when she talks about Blake, or says I love you to him.
It's the single most beautiful thing I've ever seen, and I know they work hard at it.
Don't go looking for boys in the dark, They will say pretty things then leave you with scars. Do go looking for boys in the park, for that's where the true gentlemen are.
I miss you. More than you'll ever believe. I just can't show it.

This is real.
“I learned that inspiration does not come like a bolt, nor is it kinetic, energetic striving, but it comes into us slowly and quietly and all the time, though we must regularly and every day give it a little chance to start flowing, prime it with a little solitude and idleness.”
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs; ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who are alive.”
“The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do. ”
But really, all we want, and I speak for the entire human race here, is contact. Someone to let us know that we aren't alone. That the world isn't a dream and you and I really are happening at the same time, even if it's not in the same place. That this is real. You're really there. I'm really here. We're real.
This is real.
Can I seriously just do this someday?
Man oh man oh man.

Me, one year ago.
Weird.
New baby tomorrow.
Even weirder.
"I wish you were here. But you’re not, you’re there. And there doesn’t know how lucky it is."
"If you don’t go after what you want, you’ll never get it. If you don’t ask, the answer is always no. If you don’t step forward, you’re always in the same place."

Barack.
Today I say to you that the challenges we face are real. They are serious and they are many. They will not be met easily or in a short span of time. But know this, America — they will be met. To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history; but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist. To the people of poor nations, we pledge to work alongside you to make your farms flourish and let clean waters flow; to nourish starved bodies and feed hungry minds. And to those nations like ours that enjoy relative plenty, we say we can no longer afford indifference to the suffering outside our borders; nor can we consume the world’s resources without regard to effect.
Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek, for the world has changed, and we must change with it.
-Barack Obama, our president.
Mine.
Things that made my day, even though I was a little grouch.
1. BARACK OBAMA IS OUR PRESIDENT! Offically, wonderfully, happily, I'm ecstatic. It's one of the best things that will ever, EVER happen in my lifetime. We (Americans) made history today. Barack Obama made history today. He is our president, give him a chance.
2. Seeing my boy. Always makes my day.
3. Cassidi Marie and everything she does. the fact that she loves me makes me happy. We have a new notebook, and her leaving me a comment & the fact that her verification was Brack made me smile. I love that girl with my entire heart.
4. Stephanie. I've missed her a lot.
5. What Blake left Shay. It was the sweetest thing ever. Made me all giddy inside. What they have is amazing, and I hope to have what they have, because I know it's forever.
Sorry I was a grouch guys.
Keep reading?
Let's pretend we're artists and everything we feel is something new to be proud of. Let's take our imaginary friends on a double date and ditch them in a movie and hope they get along while we kiss outside on the sidewalk. Let's take the dreams you mumbled in your sleep and paint a child's nursery. And if we don't finish today, we've always got tomorrow.

You can love all you can. You can do what you can. You can care all you can. But, in the end, who you end up hurting isn't something you can choose. You can't save everyone, someone is going to get hurt, no matter how much you don't want them to. But, you can't think of everyone else all of the time. Sometimes, you just have to think about what's best for you, how you can make your life better. And, if you save someone else from hurting, well, you've done the best you can do.
Dear Angela,
I know in the past I’ve caused you pain, and I’m sorry. And I’ll always be sorry til the day I die. And I hate this pen I’m holding, because I should be holding you. I hate this paper under my hand because it isn’t even you. I even hate this letter because it’s not the whole truth. Because the whole truth is so much more than a letter can even say. If you wanna hate me, go ahead. If you wanna burn this letter, do it. You could burn the whole world down. You could tell me to go to hell. I’d go. If you wanted me to. And I’d send you a letter from there.
Sincerely, Jordan Catalano
-My So Called Life
You love somebody and then you don’t love them anymore. But if you really love somebody, you always love them, don’t you? Isn’t there always some small part of you that reads their horoscope in the paper everyday?
You may not know it yet, maybe you’ll never even think about it, but I’m special. You’re going to meet a lot of girls throughout your life, and a lot of them will be special to you. But I’m telling you right now, you’ll never find another me.

This is me.
This winter break has become the best yet. I can't explain it, from how I felt before, and how I feel now, are two completely different worlds. I've just written a new chapter to my life. It's about the best thing ever.
I really plan on keeping the people I have in my life with me for a great while. I've gotten closer with people I never would have imagined. They're good people. The best, and for some reason, something out there chose for them to be in my life. I can't begin to explain how special I am.
I would like to thank everyone who has been there this last year, new and old, you guys were the best, and I wish you could see the gratitude I owe you. Thank you.
Alright, I'll be done now. I need to come up with something else to post tomorrow. :]
"Have you ever had a moment when you’re with the one person in the world you want to be with and the wind is blowing through your hair and the song that just describes your entire soul happens to come on and then the person you happen to want to be with happens to love the same song and suddenly you realize you’re listening to it together and no matter how crazy your life has gotten, there’s this one moment, this perfect moment where you could just say that no matter what happens nothing can take this moment away from me… and then something does."
"I want his fingers to always find the spaces in between mine."
