Today is a day just like any other.

Title: I'm Ready by Jack's Mannequin.

Today was pretty much a boring day, but I did realize something very important.
There are days that every person has that the world is out to get you.

I know we all have bad days, but we also have those days where NOTHING goes right.
My friend Morgan is having one of those days today and I had one not too long ago.


But it also made me think of something.
We, as humans, are nothing without social interaction.

Imagine, if you will, a world where we are all isolated. There's no one to talk to. From your perspective, you see no other living being on Earth. You have never experienced love, heart-break, true friendship, or anything. It's horrible, isn't it? So, what I learned today is that you need to keep friends at all costs.

Your friends are you rock, your lifeline, your source of entertainment.


I want to send out my love and thanks to all my friends out there. Without you guys, I wouldn't be how I am. <3

Hope. (A personal poem)


Here I am, sitting in a dark room with nothing but the light of my laptop. Alone.
There’s music playing in the background but I don’t even hear it.
The scene that’s playing inside my head is louder than anything else.
It’s the scene of you and me.
You’re telling me your true feelings.
And now I sit here and wonder,
“Why would you say such bold-faced lies to me?”
You say that you love me and that no one can replace me.
But, whenever I look at your social network, it’s all about him.
It’s as if I am a tiny little boat being hit by every single wave the ocean has.
I’m being washed away just like every thought you had about me.
Poof.
I’m gone.
I never existed.
I’m a distant figment of your imagination.
I’m dead.
I’m dead inside.
The taste of defeat is all I have to remember you by.
And every time I see you now,
You look so happy.
Like you did before ‘we’ became ‘you’ and ‘me’.
That’s when I was happy, too.
As happy as ever.
But, that’s all gone away, now hasn’t it?
You insist that history is only bound to repeat itself.
But when was the last time you tried to change history?
You don’t need a time machine to undo what’s been done.
You just need to be receptive and willing to let yourself open up.
But, no.
You have him.
He’s the best thing ever, isn’t he?
“He’s the greatest thing ever!”
That could have been me.
That could have been you.
That could have been us.
Now all I have to remember us by is the dark memories that used to be bright.
I would have been the man to listen to you.
I would have been the man to protect you.
I would have been the man to hold you.
I would have been the man to tell you you’re beautiful every day.
I would have been your man.
But, you can’t always have what you want, can you?
All you can do is close your eyes and hope.
Because as humans, that’s all we can control.
Hope.

True or False?

True or False? Everyone is perfect.

To me, I say true. America has this rule that everyone must fit a certain norm. Well, you know what I say to them?

SCREW YOU.

I have a ton of faults. I have acne. I have a beer belly (yet I don't drink beer?). I care too much about what people think. I always think about how people will feel. I'm too mean when I fight with someone. I'm a hypocrite.

Yet, it's all those things that make me who I am and why I'm so unique.
You will NEVER find someone who is like I am and I take so much pride in that.

I will live my life how I freakin' want and absolutely no one will ruin that for me.


To my one reader I probably have, I just want you to know that I think you're beautiful.
If you ever feel like no one cares, just remember. There is ALWAYS someone that will listen.
