Things Change

It’s hard

When you feel something that hurts you so much but you don’t want to bother others with your problems

It’s hard

Opening up to someone who has never let you in on their own lives

It’s hard

Seeing everyone around you genuinely happy, so you act the same

It’s hard

Losing people who you thought would never leave

But the hardest part is,

Not knowing what comes next.

Not knowing if your making the right decisions

Not knowing if someone else could make you happier than you are right now

And not knowing what the future holds

Life is scary, you know?

One day everything seems perfect

You’re smiling, laughing, and it feels as if everything is in place

But the next day is different

The next day you feel pain, and loneliness, and sadness

And that’s okay too

Everything is temporary and nothing lasts forever

Happiness is not a destination, it’s a feeling

I believe the best feeling in life is reassurance

Knowing people care about you

Knowing people are proud of you

Knowing your doing something right

What more could you ask for?

And the people who make you laugh the most in your life,

Those are the most important ones

Because laughter is the best medicine

Find something to be grateful for every single day

There is so much to be happy about

Remember that a bad day does not mean a bad life

Bad days are what make the good ones 10x better

And don’t ever forget how important your family is too

So thank god every day for them

and for all of your friends, because they are your second family

As you get older you will realize that your circle will become smaller

But that is also a part of life

Years go by faster and faster

As each day goes by you never see a difference

But one day you look back and everything is different

And you realize so much has changed

And you see that you are no longer anything like the person you used to be

The Unwritten Rules Of "Talking"

What is "talking?" How does one "talk?"

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
