Favorite Quote:
Robert Pattinson: “If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads"


Sometimes words aren't enough
to explain every thought and feeling
of pain and love and death and hurt.
Sometimes music can't get the feeling
of regret across without sounding
too rough and raw, which makes
others turn the station.
Who wants to listen?
I think people are afraid of things
they just can't control.
Like the detah of soeone they love
or the pain that cuts their chest.
The feelings that come from inside,
that we can't always shove away
and simply forget for a while.
Sometimes all anyone wants to do
is move on and pretend that all
is completely okay.
But is it ever okay?
I think that we, everyone, need to
learn a lesson of love and trust.
We need to find ourselves in this mess
that society has creatd as
some sick joke to kill us.
Size doesn't matter and beauty
is everywhere.
Scars are beautiful and loving who
you want is freedom.
Being individual doesn't make you
an outcast and having no friends
does not make you a loser.
This world we live on needs to
change because people are scared
and no one feels safe.

I really do think that we need to change the way our world views things, because it only creates disaster, death, hurt, pain, and self-loathing.
