Maybe I’m alone in this, but I am done with “Somebody That I Used To Know” by Goyte. I’m done with hearing it, the remixes of it, all the covers of it. Just. Done. Can’t wait for everyone else to hopefully feel the same soon.

It’s 3 a.m. and I am still awake. This is unfortunate because regardless of what time I fall asleep, my alarm clock is still going to go off at 8:45 a.m. I do not get to change this just because my eyes don’t want to close.
I’ve been sleeping so well the past few weeks. It’s actually been unusual. I have a very different “normal” in regards to sleeping. I...

Preview of a Skeleton.
This is a rough skeleton of something I’ve been working on for a while. Only a small portion of the outline. Work in progress. Feedback welcome.
So I will fly the 3,000 miles like I always do. To walk right up to you only to stop three feet short. Just so we could linger in the in-between. In the almost. To decide.
3,000 miles is very simple. But even the grandest of gestures have failed...

So I was bored and started searching random stuff and decided to search the tags for a friends old band. This came up and made me laugh. Can we also just take note of how Tim looks like he’s 12 years old?

“Is he creepy…or are you just not interested?”
I remember that question so well because the girl I asked looked like a deer in the headlights. She just wasn’t interested, and no one was truly upset about that. Sometimes, you just aren’t. While I think the guy should pursue the girl in the case of male-female relationships, I’ve been pursued before and because of my experience in...

I dreamed of doing a high school program at To Write Love On Her Arms. for over two years. Last year it became a reality and this year we had our first term. Today is the final day for all our Spring 2012 schools. So thankful for all of their support and hard work.

“I’m here.”
“I’m not going anywhere.”
“I will prove myself.”
And yet…I haven’t heard from you in weeks. I don’t need you to ever talk to me again, which is what I said back in December when you decided to show up (again).
I told you I didn’t believe anything you said. And I had been content with where things imploded the...

Sometimes I feel as if certain friends only talk to me when they’re in need of advice or just want to rant. While I say that ‘if you need to vent, call me’, I don’t mean only talk to me when you need to vent, and not other time. I feel as if I hold too many other peoples problems. Well, I know I hold to many others problems. Problems, secrets, the lot. I don’t mind...

I struggle every day with an eating disorder, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and an anxiety disorder. some days i want to give up, but you & TWLOHA keep me inspired. i know you mentioned a while back about a book you wanted to write, do you have any plans for that?
“Go after her. Fuck, don’t sit there and wait for her to call. Go after her because that’s what you should do if you love someone. Don’t wait for them to give you a sign, because it might never come. Don’t let people happen to you. Don’t let me happen to you, or her. She’s not a fucking television show or a tornado.

I have a “Verse-A-Day” Bible app on my phone. It gives a verse and followed by commentary. I loved yesterday’s commentary so much. It was so applicable later that evening when I got some frustrating news about my student loans. It was a perfect reminder. I love how God works like that.

What was the point of it? The point of you and me and those summers? I know during the days and nights I kept thinking how all of it really mattered. I felt like I was on the inside of a rare story. It seemed so one of a kind. But now, when I try to go over the significance of it, I fail to see any. It was a girl and a boy who whispered, “I love you,” and “Always,” and “I miss you,” but only...
