something about love.

Love is not that perfect little thing in movies and books, all wrapped up in it’s pretty package and holiday paper. No, love is scarred. Love is terrifying. Love rises and falls, leaving it’s survivors to cower in the wake. Love comes with chains and rejoicing. Love is flawed and perfect. It comes when we are not expecting it, and hides behind...

quarter-life crisis

overflowing: crazybeautiful:
they call it the “quarter-life crisis.” it is when you stop going along with the crowd and start realizing that there are many things about yourself that you didn’t know and may not like. you start feeling insecure and wonder where you will be in a year or two, but then get scared because you barely know where you are now. you start realizing that people...

What is this? It has all the gravitas of a eulogy, but the sardonic self-deprecation of a Dane Cook special. I guess it’s just a memory, or what a memory would be before the event actually happens. It’s that sort of shady half-mist that dreams of one day becoming a memory: all intentions and emotions with no substance.
Yeah, so that’s what this entry is. A memory becoming.
So I’ve just found...
Does She Love You? by Pasha Malla →
If one night you go out drinking and end up back at her place, pass out together on the bed with your shoes on, and wake up a few hours later only to discover that you’ve peed the bed, which she takes in stride, changes the sheets, and then the next morning has a laugh about it, later leaves some pamphlets from the local health clinic about child bedwetters in your mailbox, and eventually after a...

I don't like talking about 'feelings'
I don’t. Words are such small, insifignificant things. And my feelings feel like infinity under my skin. And when I try to put these massive, encompassing emotions into a few dinky words, they becomes meaningless, tiny. I don’t want something that means so much to me, mean so little to someone else.

Wonder if they feel like me, stumbling with lead shoes on the bottom of the ocean, swimming in a sea of the unsayable. It’s a mistake we make, thinking its words that tell us everything. It’s sound that breaks glasses,cracks windows, sends cats up trees. Bats hear more than humans,...
