that moment when you want to dislike someone but you’re still so attracted to them.

June 2013
dear woman coming out of the starbucks on congress street,
I heard you telling your friends, with the cardboard cup clenched in your fist
“I’ll have to spend an extra hour at the gym
just to work this off.”
I know it eases your misplaced guilt
and establishes the hierarchy in your thin girl ecosystem
but please remember
your life isn’t a negotiation with society’s impossible standards
starvation makes you placid
and
sometimes
400 empty calories
is a revolution.
my birthday is officially over and I’m officially 21 and that’s the end of that.

“And if you wait for someone else’s hand
you will surely fall down”
Believing that somebody could be one thing and finding out that they’re another is perhaps one of the most disappointing feelings that I know.
“It’s about time I realised,
that what I put in my mouth
won’t change the words that come out of it
that the appearance of rib bones
will not make me laugh any louder
or any more,
that collarbones
and thigh gaps
and cheek bones
and empty stomachs
will not bring me any closer to
success
intelligence
friendship
or even love,
that a piece of cake
should not have the power
to make me despise myself,
and that
high grades
crazy nights
hard-earnt wages
a smile
should give more pride,
more satisfaction,
than starving myself ever should,
or will.
That there is no secret key to finding joy,
other than realising
that time is not worth wasting,
on living a half life.” —

“Sleeping next to someone,
not with someone, is perhaps
the most intimate you will
ever be with another human.
In sleep, we are completely
defenseless. We are soft
and supple and childlike.
Our hard exteriors falls away
when the sand hits our eyes.
The way you sleep, with your
face softened and your arms
wrapped around my waist,
is the most beautiful thing
I have ever seen. I am not an
artist, but I may become one
just so that I can capture that
moment.” —I Miss Sleeping Next To You. (via sadlittlewords)

things that make me nauseous..
happy couples. but more importantly, happy couples that think they’re happy when in reality, one of the two is a perpetual cheater and everyone else knows it.
gross. open your eyes. and have some self respect.
but more importantly, to the cheater,
GET OUT OF THE RELATIONSHIP OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING IS WRONG AND YOU’RE STILL IN IT FOR THE WRONG REASONS
okay. sorry. the end. bye.
the sleepier you are the more i want to kiss you
“Everything about her seems to be saying, Listen, if you don’t look attentively, if you don’t go beyond my simplicity to detect the simmering volcano in me, you are not it.”

I am 20 years old and I have yet to meet someone who wants the right things from me. (and by someone I mean potential-significant-other someones)
I know that’s young, but it still makes me feel pretty sad. and kinda silly
I was watching full house yesterday and I thought of you
haha yay! that makes me super happy.
all kinds of frustrated
What was the best sex you've ever had?
