It’s the goddamn 21st Century! Enough with the name calling. Enough with the bullying. Enough with the targeting. Enough with it ALL. How is it acceptable in this day and age to be having such a high rate of suicides happening on a DAY TO DAY basis. Enough is really enough. It makes me sick to my stomach reading these current news stories…all over such silly things! How long...

i love fall and can’t wait ‘till it becomes full out autumn, but this makes me miss summer a little.

My favorite things about Autumn... →
52hearts:
My favorite things about Autumn is the slight breeze in the air, the change in our backdrops from green to to gold and burning red, playing pretend if only for that one day, pumpkin pie and lattes, my tan boots, mustard scarf and turquoise pea coat, and reminiscing over memories of a certain someone who I can’t seem to ever forget. It isn’t my favorite season, but there’s...

Glittering generality →

There may be not be an actual device, but there are still things in our life that very much act like a time machine. Old ticket stubs, filled up journals, music of another generation, photographic evidence of what once was — these all bring that nostalgic feeling back into our hearts. And although…

52hearts:
Sometimes I feel like all I’m really looking for is to have someone I can do nothing with and have it mean something.. but only to us. I like to think that’s not too much to ask for, but the universe just doesn’t seem to agree.
it’s comical to look back on the tumblr post last night and be proven completely wrong about all the stress and worries that i was unnecessarily piling...
it was all so easy, so comfortable, so sure...
and i’m having the most fucking difficult time handling this. i feel like i’m losing my goddamn mind.

Stellar deaths released these atoms into space, where your galaxy recycled them into new stars and planets. Our solar system formed from such recycled matter some 4.5 billion years ago.”

Daily Extended Virgo Horoscope for September 12, 2010 (Today): Secrets are usually the easiest thing in the world for you to manage. You just decide that you won’t talk about them, and that’s it. They disappear from your memory. Right now, however, if they’re your own secrets, they may not be quite so easy to dismiss. You need to talk them over with someone, and your confidante...
always remember, never forget.
these are the pics of the World Trade Center site taken from my cellphone when i went into the city for my birthday… the first two pics are of the memorial lights that they put up at this time, the third one is of the Empire State Building (which was lit pink that night) and the memorial lights next to them, and the fourth pic is the construction site of the rebuilding of WTC.

everyone’s so excited for/dreading/feeling like it’s the first day of classes.
i feel like i’ve been back at fordham for weeks already.
can’t decide whether or not this is a good or bad thing…i’m guessing the latter though since nothing ever works in my favor. i definitely need a cup of coffee.
I don’t know who I am. I’m not who I thought I was. I’m more. I’m complicated in...

my horoscope:
“Life can be stressful — but you can always step up to it and give as good as you get. Right now you need to apply yourself toward the next big thing. Once it’s settled, you can chill and enjoy what you have.”
next big thing for me = cleaning the mess of my room. after, cleaning the mess of my life. augh.
