I can't blame him for it
But because of you guys, he wants to focus on just being friends
I don't know how I feel about it really
But I sure as hell hope you're happy

pictures

I'm not really sure how I feel about this
One moment I wish you guys were here to stay, the next I can't wait 'til you move
We all are starting to feel that way
But I think it's just how we deal with such a situation
Pick at the negatives so the loss doesn't seem to grand
Could you blame us though?
You will be missed, but not as much as you would be if you were a competent family
If you actually cared about others, maybe then
But you don't
So it's really more your loss than anyone else's
Have fun with your new, clean slate
Or at least your twisted perception of one

What is your philosophy on life?

I reckon I'm a little too young to have that all figured out yet. I don't know none too much about fate and shit like that, but it's not whatever hand you're dealt in this life that makes you who you are; it's how you deal with all that that composes your character. I don't want to make it all about me here, but look at the shit I've been through. For a while I let all that hurt infect every aspect of my life and I was ruining myself. I stopped giving a fuck and felt numb to everything, which did me no favors, but I was able to channel that into something positive. Folks get themselves all worked up over this petty shit, why? Because they give too much of a fuck. Once you eliminate or at least significantly reduce the amount of fuck that you give, you'll find yourself a much happier and more content person. There are many things you have no control over, and if you let worrying about it all run your life you won't have any time left to live it, because no one never knows how much of that time we have left. I just don't give a fuck, and it's helped bring me success and happiness once again- something I thought I wouldn't feel ever again. In my opinion. And sure, this may be a bit long winded but it's a life philosophy here, what do you want, a fucking haiku? Get outta here.

If you can be anyone doing anything right now, what would you do?

I would be me, laying on my floor, playing with my little buddy Roscoe. Far too often, folks live their lives blindly aspiring to be like Brad Pitt or to be the next Lebron James, when they ought to spend more time appreciating the hand they've been dealt here. I don't want to live in anyone's shadow; I'ma be me, and the best me I can be. In my opinion.

It only just occurred to me, a minute before we were leaving, how much I will miss having class with you. 
Instead of taking the time to say goodbye to everyone, you told me to keep taking pictures and how you respect that I am not like anyone else. 
I have always had a lot of respect for you, so hearing this was very much appreciated. 
I better be seeing your name all over one day, in some shape or form. 
Because it would most certainly be a disappointment if it I don't.

Is this your way of keeping me under your wing?
More than half the people I hang out with smoke and drink on a regular basis
Do you see me doing it?
I wish you didn't try to handle things this way

love

I never realized how a silly Facebook status could make me see so much good in everyone
Writing each "why I like you" to everyone was thrilling
I never knew how much I could care about an individual, let alone a dozen
In a way, it has helped me to love more in general
It makes everything okay

why

I'm not really sure what I'm supposed to do here
Everyday seems worse than the last with disappointment upon disappointment is piled onto me
That I'm not turning out to be the way everyone hoped
This is what I want right now
But it doesn't seem to be good enough or the right choice
I'm not angry, just confused

brunet scorpi

She used to intimidate me
"..full ride to Laurelton.. very smart.. witty"
Until I realized I was in her shoes a couple months ago
I'm that girl now and she's just grasping on all straws
I told him not to bash her or be mean not because I was being polite
But because I know just how that feels
I also know that I can't keep up with that, so I'm going to do my own thing
And if it doesn't work, then they aren't worth my time
"Do you realize there is someone out there that loves every single aspect of you?"

You waited for me at my locker today
I don't know what it is about you, but I feel comfortable around you
Just not in the same way I'm used to feeling
Hard to explain, but it makes me live in that very moment
Where I don't even realize that the second bell has already gone off
But I do notice how you smile when you talk, how you automatically move closer, and your little bit of cologne all at once
This is different, but in a good way

moon

I'm glad you started talking to me last night
You were different, but in a good way
Less angry, more like your old self
I missed you

there comes a time

Where you just need to get your shit together and start over
Well, this is me starting over
It feels like a brand new year
