For When You're Feeling "Done"
Pinterst

Welcome to the land of disgust.

Filth.

Dirt.

Where everything is real.

All the pain and the hurt.

Real.

Nothing you ever do will be right.

Nothing you ever do will be good enough.

It is where you type your paper and it is deleted.

All your work down the drain.

Where you rush to your car because you're running late to work,

And you're out of gas

Where you're too emotional to have only been on this Earth for twenty years.

Where they don't love you back.

Where they don't love you anymore.

Where you can't sleep but 100 percent of you is expected the next morning.

Where you pour your heart and soul into someone and get a sliver of what you gave them.

Where you have to give away your dog.

Put your cat to sleep and lose your home.

Where you fail a class.

Where you stop going to class.

This is where you'll stop receiving texts, calls, emails-

A dead zone.

Where there will be no reception; Not for you, not for me, not for my passions.

Where you will constantly grieve and morn your losses as you watch the rest of them celebrate.

As you're watching the sky turn from black to orange then pink then blue

And the leaves go from green to brown and back again.

As the sounds change from wind chimes to Christmas carols

As the earth rotates round

You're watching from your eyes as they glance upon you

Just passing you quick enough to see that smile

But never long enough to watch gravity settle in.

You walk past but not fast

Trying to work out the point of it all

A wasteland

Is what it's referred to

But just for you

Because that's what it is like living inside your head.

They say "get out while you can".

I say stay, let people in.

It's a wasteland you see

The storm will come

Wash it away

You'll start anew.

Clean, polished by the rain.

Now whether you end up back here or not,

Well that's your choice my friend.


-- Choose light my friends, even when 'the going gets tough"

Choose to see tomorrow through fresh, clean, polished eyes.

To those who celebrate, you just spent an entire day cooking an elaborate meal with all of your favorite foods. You probably ate your body weight in pumpkin pie and mashed potatoes. What happens now? Oh yea, Christmas. It’s time to take out all of the decorations and Christmas themed things that have been sitting in the attic since last year; it’s time to make a reappearance. So, here are 10 things that happen the second Thanksgiving is over.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
