“So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even...”
– Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom
I am happy but sadness likes to befriend me.

hello, they call me socially awkward. my names are vain and lies. i live on the corner of deceit and shame. my silver tongue pushes words at the speed of verb, often littered with half-truths crafted at temperatures below reality. sometimes they call me disappointment, because i can never deliver. gifting the world with a symphony of stars, all of which fall to the ground in...

“‘Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, / The muttering retreats / Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels / And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells: | Streets that follow like a tedious argument / Of insidious intent / To lead you to an overwhelming question.. / Oh, do not ask, “What is it?” / Let us go and make our visit.”

I will peruse the English dictionary.
Goal: To be able to perfect this language so I can move on to the next.
I will explore each culture while I learn syllable by syllable. I will enjoy what they have to offer, letter by letter. I will the people that will impact my young life, word by word. I want to learn the meaning behind each name and the words that describe different sounds.
Read the...

I really like lists. I don’t know why. I think it’s because I never think in complete thoughts, always fragments of a whole. I think I like lists because I never have to be complete.

dracometeors:
I have to prepare myself to be around people. And I don’t mean my appearance. It’s more of a mental preparation. It’s like I have two sides to me. And it takes me a while to transition from being by myself to being around others. I have to have that mindset to be around people or I’ll be quiet, annoyed, and tired. Because being around people takes a great deal of effort for me....

Let’s turn the book to Chapter X: Grandma.
I’ve always wanted to type something up about her and I’m sure the crowd in my head would like to hear.
She was a beautiful woman (is). Her love for Frank Sinatra was huge. She would dance to his songs in the morning, only if she wasn’t reading the newspaper. Towel hanging on her shoulder, just in case she starts sweating. It’s...
I think we’re easily lost in life.
Especially when people abandon us like little puppies.
We’ve grown so attached to the person, so attached to their presence. When they leave, it’s like a Gusher popping. Dirty, sticky, sad. It’s all over the place.
People leave because they grow tired of others.
People leave because they don’t know how to solve things on their own.
People leave because...

We worry about money all the time, clothes this, bags that, you need money for the cigs and you wouldn’t even give a rat’s ass bout the other side. It’s day here and they’re livin in the night. The shadow of a being comes quick as the sun slowly sets, poverty invading while these people look to nest. In the island still livin in rundown buildings and straw-roofed huts, I just wish it...

I am a person of happiness, usually. Laughing, smiling, and breathing are the main things I do in life. That doesn’t mean sadness doesn’t strike like it does for everyone. My heart will shatter into a million pieces, my brain will take over, my emotions will slowly eat me inside. I will feel worthless and miserable. Though, those are only moments of my long life. Fortunately, I...

I’ve learned young that people aren’t bound by any means of obligation to stay in your life, it’s a matter of choice, and that choice is subject to change at any given time, and when or if it does, there’s ultimately nothing in your power you can do to prevent them from leaving.
I’ve learned to let go. Perhaps too many times. And I think it’s reached a point where I’m set to believe...
We always look for what we want in people.
There are qualities that we search for to let people in our lives.
Standards.
But with some people, we search so hard for the good in them that we end up finding what we feared for in the very beginning. But I guess that’s better.

“Do you fall in love often?” “Yes, often. With a view, with a book, with a dog, with numbers, with friends, with complete strangers, or with nothing at all.”
And she said one day, she will marry a poet.
She will swim in his mouth and drown in his words.
I act as if I know this world and its people.
But I’m just a tiny speck of this universe and there’s so much more to do. Travel; learn different cultures, taste different foods, meet new and old people, collect things that will be worth looking back to.
Time is running, how will I explore the rest of this world if I don’t start now?

I look through old pictures frequently. It makes me feel whatever most of the time. I’m on memory lane, but it doesn’t make me as sad as people think it would. Losing people, ruined friendships, broken hearts. It’s doesn’t bother me, because I’m glad to be where I am now.

I think people who read books are _____. I don’t know which adjective would fit. Especially the ones who smile at what they’re reading. I also think people who listen to their music players are _____. Especially those who do not realize that they’re singing out loud.
