I hope I never figure out Who broke your heart And if I do, if I do I’d spend all night losing sleep I’d spend the night and I’d lose my mind

give it up
So the stairs that you could climb are the ones you’ve left behind And your eyes light up when we talk about the past God, I miss those songs we used to sing Talking like getting away would be the greatest thing Well me, I got out, and you kept singing to me like that’s really going to set this free

“But if my silence made you leave
then that would be my worst mistake”
– I say this all the time, but it breaks my heart when I am watching this movie scenario: Girl walks away, Guy doesn’t chase after her or call her name, so she never looks back. You just want to shout at the screen and be like SAY SOMETHING YOU IDIOT. But he doesn’t. And he loses her...

August
Hmm, it’s really hot this week and I don’t have air conditioning in my house. It broke a few years ago and since my dad grew up in Thailand, he doesn’t understand the concept of what it’s like to be hot, as in, he never feels hot even in ridiculous temperatures. And it really doesn’t bug me except for a couple of days in August when I’m tiiiired and well, just...
I'm so tired
Really feeling weird that in a few weeks, I won’t be getting ready to move back in with everybody else. I don’t like it. I miss counting down the days and packing and getting really excited and talking about all the cool new drink recipes we will use. It almost feels like I dropped out of school or something because I won’t be going to school there this semester. It doesn’t...
I'm paranoid?
Convo with Kristina (in Australia)
K: steven told me im turning into you
Me: how are you turning into me?!
K: being paranoid and girly
K: hahahhaha
Me: holy shit, am i paranoid
K: yes
K: about guys
K: always
K: you overanalyze everything
K: also, boy from last night holds hands
---------------------------------------------------
Maybe I do. And I am girly, because I am a girl. Also I like how she added the part about the guy she likes holding hands, because she knows how much I love that. I miss her.

I love, love love boys. Especially this one - whose insecurity prevented him from reaching out and just needed a push from someone who sincerely wanted his friendship. I hate losing touch with friends for a...
