obama undoubtedly has a way with words. and that speech sounded really nice but like, to me, that was it. it sounded really nice. he made a lot of hopeful remarks but didn’t really address his faults and didn’t own up to a lot of shit he’s done, and hasn’t done (or giving in to the republicans on some shit) . i mean don’t get me wrong, i even posted that link of...

“society is afraid of alonedom, like lonely hearts are wasting away in basements, like people must have problems if, after a while, nobody is dating them. but lonely is a freedom that breathes easy and weightless and lonely is healing if you make it.”

wide awake because of this damn jet lag, but that’s inevitable so i don’t know why i’m complaining.
the journey was long and restless but worth it. so so worth it. getting off the plane, i felt this strong rush of happiness i’d never felt before. it’s like my heart was smiling. and the car ride home, peering out the window, felt like i was going backwards on a...

Anonymous asked: Salam, my name's Kleav and I just wanted to say I appreciate your blog. It's incredible that you're about to move to your home and more importantly you anticipate comfort once you're there. Did you just graduate in May? I did and I still can't believe it. MY family is from the DR and if I was moving there next week, I think i'd be anxious as hell. Anyways, I'm...

stop giving that boy your attention, he doesn’t deserve it. why would you want to bother your heart again? see, once you think to give him your flesh, he’ll choose your bones and build a house of his own. and before you say you’re lonely, speak more loudly. they just don’t hear you. also-there is a smile and uncertainty inside your name, let them out, speak...

i’m probably the most least confrontational person ever. if ever i find myself in a sad state, i just listen to music. and with time i get lost in it that i eventually forget why i was sad in the first place. i don’t give myself time to even think about anything. let alone feel anything. i don’t have enough patience for my “emotions”. i’m always in a rush....

that’s all i have to say about that.
