loyal friends are hard to come by (!)
I wish I had truly loyal and supportive friends. I wish my friends stood behind me and made me feel strong. But most of them don’t. Sometimes I just want to move, to have all new, different friends.
With that said, I feel I have two loyal friends who I would like to say thank you to.
"actions speak louder than words"
The older I get, the more and more I understand that quote. Actions DO speak louder than words. You can say anything; you can say you’re sorry, you can say you you’re my friend, you can say you support me… But unless you actually act in ways that support these claims, words are nothing. Words are nothing to me. It’s weird, because I love words, and in some way they are...

Disappointed in a certain someone. I never thought you were the type of person who would act like this or do these kinds of things. I thought you would change after our conversation a few days ago. I’m really disappointed in you and your lack of decency. Especially on Christmas. Ugh. Pothead. Driving high. Lying.

“Am I, at bottom, that fervent little Spanish Catholic child who chastised herself for loving toys, who forbade herself the enjoyment of sweet foods, who practiced silence, who humiliated her pride, who adored symbols, statues, burning candles, incense, the caress of nuns, organ music, for whom Communion was a great event? I was so exalted by the idea of eating Jesus’s flesh and...
Fable of the Mermaid and the Drunks
Fable of the Mermaid and the Drunks
All those men were there inside, when she came in totally naked. They had been drinking: they began to spit. Newly come from the river, she knew nothing. She was a mermaid who had lost her way. The insults flowed down her gleaming flesh. Obscenities drowned her golden breasts. Not knowing tears, she did not weep tears. Not knowing clothes, she did not have...
Tonight I Can Write
XX. Tonight I Can Write
Tonight I can write the saddest lines. Write, for example, “The night is starry and the stars are blue and shiver in the distance.” The night wind revolves in the sky and sings. Tonight I can write the saddest lines. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too. Through nights like this one I held her in my arms. I kissed her again and again under the endless...

of dusk and summer.
but you’ve already lost, but you’ve already lost, but you’ve already lost, when you only have barely enough to hang on. dusk and summer, dashboard confessional.
she combed your hair, she kissed your teeth, she made you better than you’ve been before, she told you bad things you wished you could change in the lazy summer. she taught you laughing, down to your core, so you...
About time.
Life is good. Life is actually good. Things seem to be going good for me. I am happy. I am hopeful. I feel good.
Don't test on animals.
“If you don’t like my opinions leave. But just remember, the animals can’t leave the cages that hold them. They are captive and suffering. As you cozy into your bed tonight, try to imagine the pain and the suffering that they endure day after day and night after night. Next time you get some soap in your eyes, try to imagine that pain for 3 or 4 days at a time. Next time you have...

I’ve decided I’m going to write a novel. It’s going to be the saddest story of all time. Well, it might be, unless I change my mind when writing it. But I really am going to write a story. Just need to find some time to start thinking about it and brainstorming. I need a really good idea. I think I can do it though.

This is the kind of advice out there for girls looking for relationship advice. What’s wrong with wanting someone badly? What’s wrong with whole-heartedly committing to someone? What’s wrong with admitting how greatly you desire someone?
Is this quote true? Does wanting something, or someone, too much really ruin it?
Is it really too much to expect similar feelings back from...
Reasons why women date jerks instead of nice guys.
More fun to complain about them to your friends.
Guys who actually like you just aren’t challenging or exciting.
When you do date nice guys, they turn into jerks anyway, so why not save time and go for the jerk in the first place?
You won’t get as emotionally attached to a jerk.
All the other women want them, so they must be worth having.
Affection means more...
