"Haha no I didnt see that hahaha"
"Hence me being lame"
"Haha, youre not lame. What are you home for? "




Is this starting again? Not a good idea. Let's be friends, best if needed. Anything else? Probably not the best idea. You still make me blush like whoa.

Let's Hear It For...

Its In The Details.

Medal of Honor

"every now and then, i seek other writers and am left wondering what’s the difference between me and them and can i just be them instead? sometimes i want all that attention, i want the way they string together such sometimes dark, but pretty words so easily.. because it’s not that easy for me. i feel like i’m pulling teeth sometimes when i try find the words that fit — like trying to find the perfect pair of jeans, needing all the right curves, needing to look lean. but it’s impossible, it always feels impossible and so i sit here at the foot of my bed in just a blank canvas of a tshirt and try to figure out what to do. in my quiet thoughts that i can’t even hear, i wonder if maybe i was ever really a writer and was i just pretending to be one.. for you, or rather because of you. and i wonder who i ever was before? because honestly, i don’t want to be this person anymore."

PingPong



i hope that one day i can forgive you
and forgive myself
for(ever) loving you.

A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints

"we should talk about our future goals in person, hahaha. i think we are in the same boat!"

"if you end up being in vegas, i could help you out the best i can! :) whatever you need girl, i'm here! are you still talking to justine? i'm sure she could be here for you too (maybe)"

"i seriously wish you were still here nelly. we always get along!!! i've been really stressed with everything in my life (mostly the love part), and talking to you about the future really fucking perks me up. you don't even know. it's like, there are so many bright and crazy things ahead of me, and i shouldn't even be concerned about some stupidass boy who doesn't care about me. so thanks nelly. :) love ya!"




I seriously love this girl. I love how she always address me "Nelly Baby!" I use to drive randomly through Vegas with her, just straight up cruising and it was great (she had the best Jeep.)SHe seriously has the best fashion I've ever seen, and I honestly don't think that of many people outside of the pages of a magazine. The chances are her coming to NY for grad school are slim, she has her family and friends on the West coast but I'll be selfish for awhile and think she will. It would be insanely ridiculous if we lived in the same city again.

Outfit.

Someone threw the idea of styling at me. I like the idea of it. I like putting together outfits, on other people with better bodies, it a funner canvas to work on. I put ideas together in my mind daily, even minutes (with clothes I have or I don't have). I just don't have the shape to pull them off. I need to learn how to do that...

Anyways, a simple outfit for Saturday? I need to buy the dress, that's all.

Country Belle Strapless Dress
$27.80 at Forever21

Gabardine Blazer
$29.80 at Forever21 (Already have it)

LIZZIE
$49.99 at Bakers Shoes (Already have them)

Bucket List...Continued.

11. Make a piece of clothing from scratch
12. Run a marathon






...This list will probably continue.

Management

There's a place I'd like to go somewhere out west,
it's not specific, and the pictures show it best.
I know there's trees I know there's sand and I know there's grass,
I know it's somewhere in the past.
There's a girl out there who's lookin for it too,
she's not sure when she'll go or exactly what she'll do.
If i am doomed am I the first on or the last?
Am I just someone from the past?

No one has to hear, 
the sound of people laughing at their fear, 
and the ocean and sun are always there, 
to make you happy if you're feeling scared of the darkness.

If I ever saw a ghost it'd change the way I think.
I wouldn't gasp for air if ever I did sink.
I wouldn't struggle, I'd just let it all out fast,
and then start living in the past.

If we hold the hand that rapes the hand,
and everyone can feel the hand,
and nothing's gonna change,
it could be the time we're living in,
we'll never feel so safe again,
but love always remains

Queen's Finest

How to be Smarter: If someone was talking badly about your best friend, you would defend them. If someone downplayed your little sister’s accomplishments, you would correct them. You always stand up for people, and are loyal to people, that are important to you. So if someone is speaking ill or incorrectly about you, correct them. Nicely. But correct them. Don’t be afraid to be loyal to yourself and your intelligence and your heart—stand up for yourself. You know what you are capable of better than anyone else.

I'm Never Getting Them Back Now

The Plan.

“You have to walk carefully in the beginning of love; 
the running across fields into your lover’s arms can only come later 
when you’re sure they won’t laugh if you trip.”

Half Acre

La Joie de Vivre

"I had a thought tonight. I was thinking about love and how foolish it is to allow most of your happiness to depend on its presence or lack. I’m sure it’s wonderful. I understand the ache for it, I do. But how can you let your personal happiness depend so much on someone else’s actions? This is your journey and no one else’s and if they happen to converge for a bit, well then that’s beautiful. But what if they depart? If you spend your days waiting for the person, the love, to make you happy, are you prepared to give up that happiness if it doesn’t work out?


I believe in love. I hope for love. But tonight I had a thought that I want to be happy whether I’m alone or there’s someone next to me. I want my personal happiness to run so deep that nothing can disturb it. I want my happiness to be an undeniable part of me. Love comes and goes but I’m not willing to have my happiness be so fleeting; the world is just too beautiful and life too short to waste any of it being made miserable by circumstance."

The Truth Is...

My friends are "suppose" to be the ones that holding me together. Not the case. I used to be the cause of my own deterioration. I'll say this now: this isn't my fault. I know enough not to self destruct anymore.

The Cost of Living

Blame It On The Changes

I'll Say This Now:

I give up on people A LOT quicker than ever before.

Simply because I fought for one person to the death and it was pointless and I was screwed.

So yes, I've stopped that completely. I don't fight. I walk away. I don't see as giving up, I see it as saving energy.


Sorry to everyone else in my life.

Progress and Move On

Style Is Eternal 


A serious work in progress but my goal for this month. HTML is so annoying! Hopefully, by this weekend I can have it perfect and start with real entires

Jordan Catalano


Make Myself

True Story.

I need to focus on my days off and not bum around in sweats. Not classy. Comfort. Let's be glamorous.





This is really funny because I said this the other day: the day I have a boy, he better build me a magnificent bookcase (when I have my own place, of course) so I can fill up with my loves. Whoever I'm with, will appreciate literature and adore that it is a big part of me.









This is something I have to understand. There are people that are not in my life anymore but I do think about them time from time, and become resentful if I sense they dont ever think of me. Yesterday was my birthday, and I expected one..or two person to say something to me. But alas, nope. It's okay. I've grown to understand that my heart is bigger than most. I don't think I'll ever fully stop caring, even if "he" forgets.

1,001

Somewhere Out There,


I don't know who you are. I don't know where you'll be traveling from when we finally meet. I don't know what you'll look like when you smile. I don't know what your voice will sound like when I'll look over at you in the morning from across the bed.

But I do know this:
When we finally meet, I will make sure that your travel was worthwhile. When I finally see your face, I'll make it my mission to put that smile exactly where it should be. And when we wake up, I'll be there to make the coffee while you make our eggs.

I start missing you
the moment you untangle
yourself from my arms

The Long Con


"I do my thing and you do your thing. 
I am not in this world to live up to your expectations, 
and you are not in this world to live up to mine. 
You are you and I am I and if by chance we find each other, it’s beautiful."
