i find it hilarious and sad that most people on facebook feel the need to broadcast every moment and event in their lives to prove that they have a social life and such. is that what our values have become?
i am disappointed.
you don't know how lovely you are
we all have the right to live.
"Often a man wishes to be alone and a girl wishes to be alone too and if they love each other they are jealous of that in each other, but I can truly say we never felt that. We could feel alone when we were together, alone against the others. But we were never lonely and never afraid when we were together."

- unexpected kindness in strangers
- the rest of the world to travel
- languages to learn
- animals to take care of
- volunteer work to do
- the power of a good night’s rest
- the changing of seasons
- infinite things to learn
- billions of people to meet and possibly love
- billions of people who might love you back

hello I'm also going to hampshire college this fall and also want to be named something other than my "real" name. How should I go about it
hi! well you just tell people that you go by the name that you want! it’s college. new people. new environment. new everything. it’s easy:) the name on your birth certificate doesn’t have to be the same as the one that you’re called everyday. ps. yay you’re going to hampshire yay |
all i can think about is the new life that awaits me in a mere 3 1/2 months.
new faces to see.
new voices to hear.
new bed to sleep in.
new air to breathe.
new room to decorate.
new view out of my room’s window (instead of the brick wall view i have now)
new friends.
new adventures.
new coast. state. city.
new streets.
new bookstores, coffee shops, thrift stores, restaurants.
new weather.
new friends.
and a new name.
I am officially changing my name to what my mother originally named me.
my life will be completely different from what it is now.
in just three and a half months..
and although i am sick of the way i’m living at the moment, i am embracing it.
it wont be like this for long.
it’s exciting, and scary at the same time.
this life i’ve been so accustomed to,
will never be the same.
my mind wanders far far away, and I only wish my body could do the same.
i love running away from my problems. literally.
2 mile run this morning followed by another 3 miles just now.
since february, i’ve ran (is it ran or run?) a total of 43 miles (nike running app)
i am strong. i feel strong. and im going to use this strength to get me through my struggles. plus endorphins mmmmyum

i need a job.
i already feel like a slave to the economy at 17.
i need a job.
college isn’t going to pay for itself.
i need a job.
“you need to earn your education” my parents say.
i need a job.
the five dollars under my car seat won’t cut it.
i need a job if i want to even get close to flying out of here.

Teenage girl is raped:
News:
What was she wearing? Was she drunk? How much was she drinking? Was her cleavage showing? Well maybe she was asking for it? Well was it really "rape"? She was a slut. Teens today are too sexually active. Did she lead them on?
so i found this insanely amazing semester at sea program awhile ago, and registered so i could possibly become a part of it next summer. The ship takes you to 9 different sites between London and Israel. Such a dream for me.
Then the financial info came up on my account.
Right away, I knew I wouldn’t be able to go.
And then I remembered about money. and how I barely even have a job yet. And how my mom is unemployed. And how im paying for my college tuition after the first semester.
Wouldn’t it be nice to just do something and not think about money?
