extra-bread asked: Trying to find the necessary beautiful is a dangerous endeavour. You have to keep in mind the importance of the subjective, of your voice. Your values are not so much 'created' as part of you; 'created' in the same way perception is created - i.e. involuntarily, without deliberation. To disregard the subjective importance of things in favour of finding the 'objective'...

For once I slept at normal people times.
But now I’m tired.
soap and marla, again.
look
it’s just another one a.m.
and i’m lying here by myself
waiting for the morning to come
stop
for a moment listen
to the silence around and
close your eyes for the morning
i remember you said
sleep; the cousin of death
but won’t i die without it
maybe not, maybe not
please
i think i’m praying again
to be happy with what i have
maybe i should just give...
always, always, always.
let me write a song
with lyrics that will move your heart
rhythm that moves a nation
feeling that changes the world
let me write my song
so i can leave my name in the sand
have it wash away, forever
‘cause away is better than never
just stand here and listen
i’m not going to cry for you
but these tears come naturally
they’re what keeps me smiling every night

That road trip was epic.
Going to update with details later, if I don’t pass out first.

"maybe that's why your gfs broke up with you"

I miss this idea of ‘you and me.’
I miss wishing for a girl to hold in my arms,
for a girl to take out on night drives,
to give coffee to in the morning,
to wrap a scarf around, or
a girl who i can put a jacket around,
a girl to call mine,
whom i can keep warm in those winter nights,
who can smile at me as i smile back,
and say ‘i love you’ to, every...
Smart Ideas:
Because I woke up on Thursday with about a 102 degree fever and a migraine, I thought it would be a great idea to go to sleep early (aka 9:30 PM). Well, I did go to sleep that early, and got a good night’s worth of sleep… by waking up at 12:44 AM.
I wish my apologies actually meant something.
Cheer up, cheer up, cheer up.
Maybe one day we can run far away, and leave this...
There's just so much drama.

Can I just be done with this pain in my heart
Can I just leave here, find a place to restart
Can I just move on and never look back
Can I just be happy, with all that I have?

on becoming a public figure, short.
we always hear the cliched idiom, that “the grass is greener on the other side,” yet do we actually take to heart the matter under consideration?
i’ve been thinking recently about this prideful thing called fame. for starters, is fame something that necessarily feeds a person’s ego? i mean, a lot of people just want to become famous because they want to see more of...

does it matter where we are, where we have been, where we will be? does it matter if we know the meaning to our journey, or the ending to our story? must we care so much about ourselves, about our futures, about our egos, about our reputations set by the people around us? what is life, if it is filled with so many questions, that are unanswerable and yet need not be answered? what is life, when we...

what more is there to say? he loved her, and she loved him, but they did not end up together. no, they moved on, and they settled down into families that would bring both of them happiness for the rest of their lives. did they truly move on from such a romance? perhaps the cynic will say they did not—they could not—but what does it matter? in life, what does it matter how we feel, but...
constantly we are surprised—nay, horrified—at the things people around us say or believe in. but what shall we do? argue with them? give up on them? hate them and become just like them? no, we must find a better alternative. but what? will we strive to make the world a better place, even though it will be filled with people like them? will we become their servants and surrender...
ticklemejesus:
according to astronomy, when you wish upon a star
you’re actually a few million years late.
that star is dead
just like your dreams
then again, isn’t there the wonder that maybe someone will be making a wish on you, even millions of years after your own death?

“You need to be loved by loving others, to truly know what loving yourself means.”
– W.L. Santo
every day it gets worse and worse
life without love, what? but a life fallen under, no love from above, no love from anotha. what’s a life without a love, a love without life, the passion to the fire, without air is a blunda. ‘cause you gotta love yourself before you love anotha, no need for romance when all you’ve gots a brotha; who helps you out, helps you down, helps you seek yourself to find a love for life,...
life’s hard for all us, yo, y’know? life’s hard on all us, and it’s tough, ‘cause we all gotta keep our heads up, our heads down, all we gotta is keep it on the low, not, get hit get shot get sick of the e’ery day, the all day monotony, the doldrum, mundane, straight eight drum beat. life’s hard for all us, a life worth livin’; life’s hard on...
Another argument with parents, great. And failure with friends. That is simply amazing. Why am I such a terrible human being.
Wrote a super long post describing my current situation and the fact that I’m fighting a migraine by reading/writing philosophy instead of my Jane Eyre literary analysis, but my computer bugged out and closed Safari before I could post.
I need a new laptop.
Don’t know why people keep thinking I’m “smart” or something, and define “smart” as something that’s only related to school. I’ve got four years of a B-average GPA (yes, that means I got lots of C’s), so I’m really concerned with the contradictory things people paint me as. I mean, on another note, sure I read lots of philosophy books,...
