Perfectly?
dearoldlove:
I only accepted your Facebook friend request so you could see my posts and know that I’m perfectly happy without you.
Intensifier
dearoldlove:
I’d never wish for someone to be unhappy, unfulfilled, or alone, but I must confess that knowing you are all of those things intensifies my own happiness.
All our fights and lies made us stronger. Thats where you can tell if its real...

PLEASE DON’T BE IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE

And it was enchanting to meet you

So, my dad ended our relationship over the summer. After I had given him yet another chance to be a father he blindsided me with his break up line, “I think we both know this isn’t working”. Uh, okay dad, thanks for being so considerate. Anyway, I vowed that was the end of it. He was mad because I wouldn’t come to his place because the cigarette smoke in his house really...
Why did the chicken cross the road?
cerebralpears:
It didn’t. Chickens never cross the road. They live in fields or tiny cages with thousands of other chickens and then they are killed and my people eat them.
Anchor
dearoldlove:
You’re the anchor that holds me in the past.
I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then.

boys
the guy at work is literally the most confusing person I’ve ever met. I’m pretty much just going to say whatever from now on, and just forget about it. He can talk to me if he wants, but I’m done making an effort. And he didn’t do anything bad or anything at all really, it’s just he’s too confusing and I hate it. It just makes me feel bad to always be trying to...
Cue Storm
dearoldlove:
Cheesy, but I still imagine you running back to me in the pouring rain saying you’re sorry.
Penduluming
dearoldlove:
Didn’t you think it was strange, how we spent so much time going from elation to misery and back?
Wanting
dearoldlove:
I want to hold your hand again. Go to that concert that we missed, hear you sing, eat sushi with you. I just want you.
Gossip, Girl
dearoldlove:
I cried when I watched Gossip Girl and Blair wrote: “Just because we can’t be friends doesn’t mean we aren’t.”
Jack and the E-Stalk
dearoldlove:
Why is it that the happier and more content I feel, the urge to e-stalk you is even greater? Why can’t I just let myself revel?
You get tragedy where the tree, instead of bending, breaks.
– Ludwig Wittgenstein
Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.

There’s man all over for you, blaming on his boots the faults of his feet.

update: work guy
so, first thing monday morning, the guy messaged me and said he was sorry he couldn’t find me saturday night and did I end up going out. awwwww he WAS waiting for me in the lobby. and I just went up to my hotel room. that would’ve been an awesome chance to spend time with him, outside of work, have fun. F. Oh well, at least he cares. It was obviously on his mind if he talked to me...
work party
Okay, the guy at work is literally the most confusing guy I have ever met. Sometimes, I have no doubt he likes me. Then other times, I think he’s not interested at all. I can’t tell if he’s shy or not interested. He talks to me ALL the time. And he seems to like talking to me. And I definitely went out of my way to see his show last week, which I feel like makes it kind of...
Real Holiday
dearoldlove:
I am waiting for the one holiday that I can head home and not make it a point to pass by your house.
Some Hugs
dearoldlove:
Sometimes when we hug it feels like we’re trying to hold on to everything our relationship used to be.
Ambition
dearoldlove:
Trying to change who I am for love’s sake did not make me weaker than you. On the contrary, it’s rather ambitious.
Liquor in Front
dearoldlove:
I still want to kiss you in the back of that sleazy bar.
It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you.
– Taylor Swift, ‘Back to December’
favourite song: the scientist (coldplay)
I’ve always loved it. I could listen to it for hours and be content.
ps. I dont usually swear
annd, this is what it feels like to get over you.
fuck, it feels good :)
about time too… thought I was going crazy there for a while.
He initiates communication. Whether it’s via the phone, e-mail, texting, or Instant Message, if he contacts you as much or more than you get in touch with him, I’ve got good news for you. He likes you! Guys, in general, are not super-communicators. My husband Alex, for instance, would rather clean the bathroom with his tongue than talk on the telephone - unless he really likes the...
good advice
Men are NOT mind readers. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it woman!!!
The people you love become ghosts inside of you...
