“Accept who you are; and revel in it.”
—Tuesdays with Morrie, Mitch Albom (via fuckyeahliteraryquotes)
She's the girl that has a few best friends & doesn't need anymore, the girl that laughs the hardest at her own jokes. She's the girl that will hang up on you, but then call you right back & say sorry. She's the girl who will never leave your side when you need her, the girl who will go out of her way to cheer you up. She's the girl who says she isn't ticklish, but really is. She's the girl who will not give up on you if she really believes in you. She's the girl who believes in loving somebody forever.
this is me.
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
—C.S. Lewis (The Four Loves)

Live Below the Line is an incredible new awareness and fundraising campaign that’s making a huge difference in the fight against extreme poverty.
Quite simply, it allows thousands of Australians to better understand the daily challenges faced by those trapped in the cycle of extreme poverty, and builds a movement of passionate people willing and able to make a meaningful difference for those who need it most.
Saudade (or Saudades)
(pronounced [sɐ.uˈdaðɨ] or [sawˈdaðɨ] in Portuguese.
Defined as “a somewhat melancholic feeling of incompleteness. It is related to think back situations of privation due to the absence of someone or something, to move away from a place or thing, or to the absence of a set of particular and desirable experiencies and pleasures once lived.
In the book In Portugal of 1912, A. F. G Bell writes:
The famous saudade of the Portuguese is a vague and constant desire for something that does not and probably cannot exist, for something other than the present, a turning towards the past or towards the future; not an active discontent or poignant sadness but an indolent dreaming wistfulness.
“silence is one of the failures in people today, that when they see an injustice or intolerance that they stay silent and that’s the worst thing …”
—an opinion expressed during a reality TV show
“In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”
—Martin Luther King Jr. (1929-1968)
This morning i learned that ....
29 States in America are allowed to refuse gay’s service? — that’s crazy.

HE’S AN AWESOME STALKER..
Listen
Reminscing back when I made that mistake
I wish it never ended with a heartbreak
Now your heart broken, tears in ya face
Ask myself why, looking at the sky
If I could turn back I’d make it all right
Praying that you better but its still stormy weather
Don’t wanna let go but the rain wont let up
Now you gone, still thinking bout you everyday
And I know feelings was hurt and you can blame me but
I’m sorry for the games that I played
But now it’s too late
And now she’s…
Listen
These scars of mine make wounded rhymes tonight
I dream of times when you were mine so I
Can keep it like a haunting
Heart beating close to mine
I dig it… damn, but it makes me feel so damn alone. OH GOD.
Brussel Sprouts...
Do people still eat/grow Brussel Sprouts? I haven’t laid my eyes on one since ……. i was googoogaga ages. I remember them being horrendously gross. I wouldn’t touch one anytime soon, plus they look like moldy male genitalia …
Drive slow homie...
There are so many lives cut short from auto accidents. It’s crazy how many people around me have lost a friend or a family member because of accidents on the road from situations that can be avoided. In particularly, speeding.
This is going to sound ridiculous and possible more harmful than helpful. When I’m behind the wheel and I spot someone behind me getting all speedy gonzales on the road I slow down a little and if there is a car on the next lane where mr/mrs gonzales is speeding who’s not speeding and i can see mr/mrs gonzales speeding and riding on the others ass trying to overtake i accelerate a lil more so mr/mrs speedy gonzales has no choice but abiding the speed sign!
I admit, when they can’t speed i feel like i won.. and i prevented some stupid shit from happening. I also admit that it sort of feels like a game but i never do it for that reason, for a ‘game’ — that’s why i have Daytona USA. The road is never a game. Heck, life isn’t a game. Slow and steady wins the race right?

Dunzo.
Almost dunzo with semester 1 and i’m feeling so inadequate with my progress.. academically and socially speaking. time creeps up on you and then your left with looking back, like dang — what a waste.
i always say i want a challenge, i want out the bubble.. i want to better myself to reach my full potential, whatever that may be. i’m always in this same funk. i did it last year and the year before… its so damn pathetic. i feel motherfucking stuck, there is a simple solution but it seems impossible. i have myself all irritated at myself… you stupid silly fucktwat.

Not digging it at all… i’m not into wild life and nature as such, however i came across this while browsing online and i’m pretty much disgusted.
i admit its little hypocritical for me to say that because i eat meat and you could use that as a rebuttal against this post… but damn, how cute is that little fella.

I’m going to do this … I NEED THIS. (after my burger.)

all my head’s to blame for my heart’s mistakes..
when i get to thinking about yesteryear/yesterdays and the people or instances i’ve been in, im always torn. i wish i could go back then i think nah, fuck it… don’t live in regret, live in the now— i can never win.
when it comes to the people i cut loose, who showed me love.. who now, when i look back.. make me realise that im one cold douche of a girl.
it’s weird, people walk into your life and they don’t have to stick it, but they do… we always look for someone(s) who can make you smile, laugh, cry and make you feel things you never thought anyone in any instant would ever feel about you that they do.. and some stupid ass reason, you let them slide. life works in mysterious ways, i appreciate the all the “yester’s” but i want most of them back.. or maybe i just want him back?
On the weekend ....
Had a massive weekend.. hung out with some fun loving folks. 85% of the weekend there was no access to technology (apart from the stereo and devices we used to play our boogie tunes.) — had such a blast, i’m pretty proud of myself that i wasn’t stuck in front of a screen and just soaked up mother nature’s weather (whether it be shining or not!)
- i feel so mothereffin cleansed. its good to be back to reality but i’m going to miss my island dance parties… the next few months are dry spells for my boogie get downs and my abuse of alcohol.
