TAKE THAT GRANDMA
(via delatiierra)
We don't forgive people because we're weak,
we forgive them because we realize that life doesn't come with a three-strike-and-you're-out rule, and that mistakes don't make a person undeserving of love. I want to love everyone regardless of how they have hurt me, or what they have done, because if they still ask to be in my life, if they can still wake up and say they don't wish me ill, then I can't think of a better reason to keep them around. People are not disposable (unless they want to be) and by choosing to entrust my happiness and my sanity to a few people around me, I safeguard my heart and my feelings and ensure that sixty people don't know what it takes to break me. That doesn't mean I have trust issues, it doesn't mean that I'm bitchy or grumpy or a shitty person. It means I hold people up to the highest standard and covet those who can make me the most "me" that I can be. It's always been a flaw of mine that I hold onto things for too long. Not like a grudge, but I just let something bad keep me unhappy. I don't want to have a flaw like that anymore.
Anonymous asked: How about stalking through the woods? That is creepy AND fun!
Anonymous asked: I actually live in New Hampshire right now too. How about wandering through the woods instead? Cuddling is still necessary of course.
Anonymous asked: I honestly would love to take you on a coffee date and then walk around the city with you. Maybe some cuddling after would be nice too.

Those who can't fall in love, make blueberry...
I started making the batter for blueberry muffins around ten thirty tonight, and I was creaming butter and sifting flour (as well as destroying a perfectly clean kitchen while everyone else was asleep) I found myself humming a line from one of my favorite Dessa songs. The song itself is called “Seamstress” and the line goes something like this:
“To fix a bird, you buy a cage....

A Love Story.
It seems like we spend our whole lives, up until a certain point, desperately searching for the kind of love that is life-changing, mind blowing; the kind of love that we hope will define us. And for what? Kind of…nothing. For the opportunity to say we’ve done our job, we’ve loved someone, now let us die in peace. But then we reach this breaking point: the proverbial “fuck...

Counterclockwise.
I waited for you to notice me, in the hallways at school and out among the wild flowers.
You looked over me, under me, to the left and then to my right.
I waited through spring, summer, winter and fall,
Till babies grew into adults, trees sprouted branches and the sea smoothed over the piece of glass you threw in when you turned sixteen.
Till my hair turned grey and you lost your eyesight.
I...

Heartbreak warfare.
When I was younger, I thought that dealing with heartbreak was the equivalent of a mid-life crisis. In my head, I had this image of a young woman flinging herself dramatically across the bed after a man with impossibly nice hair said he was leaving her for another woman, in Central Park while it was raining. In my head, I had an image of the woman moping around her well-furnished apartment in...

Every since I can remember, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of happiness. I wanted to understand every form of it; the purely physical kind, all the way to the kind of happiness you don’t realize you had till it’s gone. When I was a little girl, happiness was having my mom tuck me into bed each night and a pb&jelly sandwich in my lunchbox when I opened it. As I got older, it...
Truth #15
I think interpreting dreams is a buncha bullshit. I mean, where the hell is the credibility? So what if I dream about you? It doesn’t mean we have some sort of unspoken connection, it just means my mind needed a face for the person I was making out with in my dream last night, and yours came up in the rotation. Big whoop.

I don’t really care what color his eyes are, or what kind of car he drives, so long as he can get to me.
I don’t care if his hair is long or short, but please God let him be funny because boring people make me irritated.
He’s got to hold my hand, and kiss me every chance he gets.
He’s got to want himself to succeed, as much as he wants me to succeed.
He has to...

Please don’t let me end up alone, afraid to admit to everyone who already knows that I took every chance I could, only to miss out on one that I didn’t know I had and please don’t let me wake up twenty years from now ashamed that I made one night mistakes and confused friendly smiles with the grin of someone who didn’t want an empty bed for another night. Please let me be...
Pop punk and summer go together like peanuts and...
I drove to Norwich, Vermont yesterday, and as I stuck my hand out the window and grinned like a dork because the sunshine on my skin felt fantastic, I was struck with two thoughts. The first was that the speakers in my car really suck. I mean, my rear-view window was shaking and I didn’t have the music up loud enough to annoy my brother in the passenger seat. The second was that pop-punk...

Lezz' be honest.
I’m just going to come out and say it: I think that it’s a load of bullshit when someone says they have trust issues.
What on earth could possibly be so hard about trusting someone not to leave you out in the cold after you open up and bear a little bit of your soul to them?
Oh, I guess I see your point.
But it’s like this: If we were to stop trusting people, then the world...

“You’re really making me rethink monogamy”

SUPER CHEESY WE'RE ALL KIND OF AWESOME TEXT POST.
I’m allowed one of these, right?
Last night I was lying in bed reading a Cosmo magazine with a guy (an incredibly straight guy, I might add, and the importance of this will be revealed later on). And we were lying there picking the whole magazine apart when he happened to read a question posed by a reader who was obviously in the same boat as me. Now, for most of you that know, Cosmo...
GRAFFITI TONIGHT.
Y’all dig?
I'm going to need
An adventure buddy for tonight’s mischief. If you’ve got my number and want to accompany me, you should probably send a message my way.
Holy shit dude
I’m just glowing. I love being happy. It’s kind of rad, ya know? Could someone take me on a lunch date to the courtyard of the BPL before I leave this fabulous city for four months? Preaseeee?
