"I'm not sure what I'll do, but -- well, I want to go places and see people. I want my mind to grow. I want to live where things happen on a big scale." ~ F. Scott Fitzgerald
This is a random blog of random posts of random things that I randomly enjoy/support. So, if you're looking for one specific thing, it's most likely lost in my sea of posts. But, feel free to say hello! Let's be friends, then talk about stuff and thaaangs!
channing tatum is like that guy in college who’s 1000% bro and loves his frat and is a world champion beer pong player and owns 324353 snap-backs and you’re just like UGH GROSS until you find him roaming the feminist lit section of the local indie book shop and he sees you eyeing him and smiles and is like “have you ever read any doris lessing?” just as his phone buzzes with a text from his grandma asking if he’ll be coming over for bingo this weekend and you also realize his text tone is “bad blood” and suddenly everything you knew is a lie
1. People are going to leave you. Their leaving will either tear you apart from the inside out, or it will mean nothing to you.
2. After people leave, they will either linger around and flaunt their stability in your face, or you will never hear from them again.
3. Those who linger after leaving, they will hurt the most. It will hit you at 3:25 am–because you’ve always hated odd numbers–and you will become nauseated and wishing you were dead.
4. Those who leave, never to be heard from again, will hurt much, much less. There will be times you may feel that you must die to rid yourself of the pain–it will pass.
5. On the nights filled with remorse and numbing-pain, turn your fan on HIGH and burrow yourself under a mountain of blankets. As your body fights for heat and comfort, you will remember that you are alive and you still work just fine. You may just be a little more achey in the mornings.
6. On the nights you feel ‘okay,’ but not ‘alright,’ let out the tears that are pooling in your eyes. Let your makeup smear and your nose get snotty and runny. You will feel better afterward, I promise.
7. When you shake and feel the urge to scream with rage, pop the top off of your angst and let it out. There is no better cure for whitened knuckles.
8. Although it may feel like the end of all happiness, try to remember the life you had before. You took many breaths independently and without them–long before your first encounter–you will take many breaths more; independently and without them. Some may be staggered, but they will even out again, I promise.

What if you went to a parallel universe and were going to meet your evil self but the version of you there is actually really nice and you’re the asshole
