Have you ever met someone who has lived out all of your dreams and makes you wonder why you haven’t done the same?
I’m having one of those nights where everything seems painfully still. It’s three in the morning and I’m so, so tired but the moment my head touches the pillow, I’m wide awake. And it’s so quiet and empty. Even the sad thoughts that manage to creep in are silent.
I saw his girlfriend for the first time a few days ago. She’s unbelievably pretty and perfect. I...

I’ve only known you for a few weeks. On the night we first met, we stayed up late talking and it was the most fun I’d had in ages. I swear I starting getting a crush on you within the first five minutes of knowing you and it felt amazing. Like parts of me were finally stirring after months and months of hibernation. It was like waking up naturally, completely rejuvenated, beating the...
Things I knew before but learned again this past...
falling for someone is nice
falling for someone taken is risky
falling for someone taken in a serious relationship is just disheartening
I’d try to stop but being this emotionally masochistic makes me feel all sorts of alive.

Last month, we visited my grandmother. She has a strange case of Alzheimer’s. When she denied being married, my grandfather looked up. We could tell this killed him inside. Instead of getting angry, he stood up, walked over to her bed and asked her out again. His love for her GMH.

I keep telling myself to update this blog with what’s been going on in my life and I promise that I eventually will. I’m just so busy running around, trying to get everything back on track.
During the afternoon, amidst all of the chaos, I checked my email and found one from The Universe (definitely subscribe if you haven’t already) that left me smiling. I think it’s...

I personally feel like one of the worst things about working hard is the reaction you get from someone who feels like you didn’t work hard at all. We all have different ideas of what “working hard” means and I believe that it really isn’t anyone else’s place to tell you otherwise. Obviously someone who is at a back breaking job would most likely feel like they’ve worked...

Yesssss. It’s been so long. I can’t even remember what happened in series 3.

I’m really good at avoiding people. I’m not so good at people avoiding me.
I’ve been throwing myself into everything I love and things that I don’t even care for in hopes that all the hard work will set me free. But it doesn’t work. Nothing could ever distract me from your subtle presence waiting around every corner. You lurk and you play this horrible game of wholesome emptiness on my organs. You say no and all my greatest passions become waveless...
I miss having someone to write about.

I’ve almost resorted to making up someone in my head. But I guess all the people I used to write about were somewhat a figment of my imagination too. I can never get it right.
My mom is yelling at my dad, slamming doors shut, swearing left and right. I was getting upset and then she just said “YOU’RE SO SHELLFISH”. HAHAHAHA.

I forgot to go to the liquor store today. I’m really regretting this. There’s one bottle of Smirnoff leftover from a party and I’m trying to figure out how to take it without anyone noticing. This is probably how I’m going to spend my entire night. I sound so pathetic but it’s been a year since I’ve had a drink and I’m going crazy.

When it comes to my family, giving Christmas presents is comparable to politics and beauty contests. I wish I had the time to elaborate but I’m exhausted. Before I go, I’d like to warn all of you to not buy glittery ribbons. I am completely covered in stubborn gold and silver specks. And I’m pretty sure that I snorted some by accident. It feels like a disco in my head.

My words come at night just as I’m about to fall into a warm slumber. It’s a constant battle between the desire to finally get some rest and the desire to finally write with inspiration. I guess it’s pretty evident that sleep has been winning a lot lately. Sorry, tumblr. I’m sure the insomnia will be back soon.

"Language is always an abbreviation"
anthonybergen:
A writer continually struggles for clarity against the language he’s using, or, more accurately, against the common usage of that language. He doesn’t see language with the readability and clarity of something printed out. He sees it, rather, as a terrain full of illegibilities, hidden paths, impasses, surprises, and obscurities. Its map is not a dictionary but the whole of...
