Own It

Never ever tell anyone how to feel. How they should feel. How they need to feel.

Feelings and emotions are some of the only things we have that are truly our own. No one should be able to take them away from us. If you're sad, cry. Go for it. Weep. Pour your sorrows out. Don't let anyone convince you it's not right. If you're angry, scream. Do not for a second let anyone let you think you're wrong. If you're happy, emote it. Don't let anyone persuade you into thinking it makes you inferior.

You are the only only one that has to live with your circumstances. You are the one that has to decide how to deal with it. Everyone handles situations differently, and who is one person to decide which way is right and which is wrong? Emotions are primal reactions and feeling them only makes you human. Never ever let anyone make you feel inadequate for feeling one way or another.


Something filled up 
My heart with nothing
Someone told me not to cry

But now that I'm older
My heart's colder
And I can see that it's a lie

-Arcade Fire: Wake Up

One Against the World

When you feel like no one understands you, is it time to take an introspective peek or is it the world that just is not getting it?

Random Late Night Thoughts

I may not be rich in lived experiences, but I intend to embark on creating a vast compilation of them asap.

I love you. Not just 3 words, but one deeply intense feeling. (Not just for that one special someone. Wish everyone knew just how much I loved them.)

Nothing is impossible. Just keep at it and climb your way out. (Sure you might feel like breaking something or killing someone on your way, but that inexplicable feeling at the end...of wightlessness or accomplishment or of general awesomeness is definitely worth it. Definitely.)

Sometimes you just gotta act like a fool.

Never give up on yourself. Ever.


I am probably going to regret posting this tomorrow morning and find it totally lame and juvenile, but you know what? Who cares. I'm gonna act like a fool and no one can stop me. Not even sane, non-deluded me.

How Late is Too Late?

How late is too late?
How late is too late to do something? To say something? To take something back?
How late is too late to apologize? To forgive? To forget?
How late is too late to go for it? To make a change? To change?

How late is too late to avoid regrets?
There has to be an overarching answer, right?
There must be.
