Set The World On Fire

This is home.

Grumpiness.

It's weird how a fine mood can turn into a grumpy mood with the snap of your fingers. I'm determined to stay positive, but I'm getting discouraged by flaky friends and disappointments. Sooooo...
WHAT I'VE LEARNED: Make sure you protect yourself and don't trust anyone too easily. Don't count on anyone but yourself, or else you're setting yourself up for disappointment.

It may be a bitter way of looking at things, but through the past few years I've gone from believing in trust, open love, and acceptance to apprehensive trust, independence, and tests.

Give me a name and I'll prove that I'm right.

I am quite smitten.

:)

That's right. Be jealous.

Have you ever looked at a picture of yourself and been struck by how happy you look, and furthermore, how good you were faking it? In a sea of smiling faces, yours blends in perfectly with the rest, not showing any more or less enthusiasm then necessary. However, behind the smile, deep inside, something is nagging at you, overwhelming your thoughts, and dictating your every move. Have you ever looked at a picture of yourself and wondered how many other people are masking sadness with a smile? How many people are hurting underneath the surface, but are too afraid or have no one to talk to. Have you ever thought about giving everyone the benefit of the doubt, the chance to explain themselves, and the opportunity for a new start? Everyone has faced pain, and everyone needs love. Have you ever seen the difference you can make? Sometimes it's the only real thing about a picture.

I have a feeling...

Basically I'm going to marry Andy Samberg, and we're going to have ridiculously cute and funny babies. And be rich and donate time and money to various charities and underprivileged people, all while being meticulously well-dressed.

Or something like that.

Okay, I surrender.

My Tumblr didn't turn out the way I wanted, Facebook is becoming more and more of a hassle, Twitter is just plain annoying, and email is for those over 40. Soo, I've succumbed to the incessant blogging of my sister and have decided to try this out. We'll see how it goes, I guess! I feel beyond lame writing about the dull moments in my day, and beyond vain to think that anyone would actually care about the mundane things I did today (which, for those stalkers and sweethearts who care, consisted of watching Season 1 of Glee, some CSI, Scrubs, Superman Returns, eating graham crackers and drinking orange juice, and playing chaffeur for Kara to and from school today). It's nice to be a high school graduate, but right now it's a little boring too. Looking ahead I see a long and lonely summer, unless you want to change that.
