Best Coast - "Happy"

Best Coast - "Bratty B"

Don't be afraid.

(Is it possible to have a blister under a blister? Yes. I have one.)

I wish I had a way to get into certain peoples' heads. It would make living day by day much easier. If I knew that I wasn't alone in this mindset, I would feel much better. I wouldn't be afraid for the future.

Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin - "Think I Wanna Die"

Tanya Davis- Subtlety Spoken Word Performance

Love is simple.

Everybody uses somebody at one point or another. Eventually that person finds out and their heart is broken.

See. Love is simple. Either you both love each other equally or not at all.

I'd have to say that I've loved someone that I lost as soon as I decided to go away. You know that cliche saying: if you love someone, let them go? Well it proves to be true time and time again. If you're not going to let me grow, live my own life, then I'm not coming back; You never had me. But if you support the person you love and let them fly on their own, make their own mistakes, they'll fly back to you each and everyday because they find comfort in the arms that hold them - not constraint.

Throughout this mess, (an over dramatized mess at that) I've learned more about who I am and who I want to be by being told who I should be. In a relationship, there is a need for compromise. If your partner likes action movies and you just LOVE classics, suck it up and watch some mindless violence. But when you constantly feel the need to defend your actions and define yourself to the person that should love you, then compromise is out of the question. The single life is calling for you. It is a time to enjoy yourself because you are lovely and you should be able to love yourself in the simplest moments.

Akron/Family - "Don't Be Afraid, You're Already Dead"

From skins season 5 episode 3!

Coffee was made by the devil

and so was stress. This year is almost over though, so I'm excited to be back at home, hopefully working. But for now I'm going to sleep 6 hours and day and spend most of my time in the library. Also, I must attend to my burnt arm, my blistered feet and lack of appetite. This mess could easily be cured by a few hours lying on a beach somewhere... too bad I'm in beautifully cold Kingston. Damn I wish it were warm. I'm going to miss this place of course, even Vic Hall. It'll be so nice to have my own house though!

I'm sick of being so dramatic all the time. March resolution: Stop being such a tool ;) and make it to April alive!

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah - "Over and Over Again (Lost & Found)"

Lover's Feud

So I was watching Family Feud with my family last week. The host asked the people to name the top five things that might remind someone of their ex.

1. A date/anniversary
2. A scent/cologne
3. A place
4. Gifts
5. And I can't remember the last one... but it sure as hell wasn't Reverse Decadence Chocolate Chip Cookies from President's Choice. I was standing in Zehrs, grocery shopping, when I saw them and held back tears until I realized how pathetic I was being.

I found an interesting article today:

4 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Throw Away Reminders of an Ex

By Michelle Knudson

Every person feels some kind of hurtful emotion when a romance relationship ends. We often get so upset that we end up throwing out everything that reminds us of the ex. Sometimes we throw out things that he or she gave

Here are four reasons why you shouldn't throw away reminders of an ex.

Regrets

We will end up with regrets when we throw out things of someone that was special to us at one time in our life.

You may realize that you do love him or her

He or she is going to feel terrible when they find out that you threw out everything about them. You may need to explain yourself, but in the end it will still hurt them despite what you say. If you two get back together after you threw out everything then they will always, in the back of their mind, know how you once felt.

You can't get it back once pictures and things are gone

Pictures of fond memories and things are the only thing that we have left when we are no longer with the person. A fit of anger can cost us a lifetime of memories that we once lived from day to day to be with that person. Romance love is not something that we should take for granted. No person on the face of the earth is the same person. Nobody is ever the same as someone else is.

You might find closure with things that bring happy memories of the person

Closure can often bring us all a sense of happiness. Things that trigger happy memories with the person will often bring us closure when our heart hurts. We may cry here and there, but sometimes it does mend the heart. Tears over someone that we love are a normal reaction that nearly everyone has been through in life. Closure does not mean that we don't love that person anymore it simply means that we can finally move on without crying every time someone mentions their name.
