Why do we describe emotions in simple terms like "happy" or "sad" or "angry"? Those words simplify it so much, make emotions seem like petty, small little things. But they're not. Emotions encapsulate who we are. They affect our decisions, our relationships with others, our thoughts, everything. If I were to describe my emotion now, using the boring everyday terms, I would say I'm feeling thoughtful. But it describes so much more if I say right now I'm feeling like lying in a meadow in the middle of nowhere, with no light pollution obstructing my view of the stars while listening to Calling All Dawns by Christopher Tin, thinking about e
When people say "I'm so awesome" or you say they're awesome and they reply "I know" or anything along those lines, it doesn't always mean they have a huge ego or are full of themselves. I know this, because I say stuff like that all the time, and I almost never mean it. To me, it means I am trying to convince myself that I am awesome, because some of the time, I don't think I am. It means that I know people find that obnoxious, and right now, I'm trying to push them away because this is too much right now and I can't deal with them right then. It's a reflex, to fill the silence that would come afterwards, because I am very socially awkwar
why do we cry? why, when something sad happens, do we cry? why, when something happy happens, do we cry? why does salt water leaking from our eyes express so much emotion? not only that, but it can express two emotions on opposite ends of the spectrum. and we can't choose to cry either. it just happens. and why from your eyes? did you know that eyes are the most expressive feature on the human face? maybe, just maybe, tears happen when even our eyes can't express. maybe tears are an overflow of the emotions our eyes can't express on their own. our liquid emotion.
my eraser is almost gone. soon, i won't be able to erase and fix my mistakes. maybe it's better that way. we all make mistakes. it's nothing to be ashamed of. so why do we feel the need to hide it? to erase it, cover it up. we want people to think we're perfect. but that's pointless anyways, isn't it? no matter how perfect someone looks on the surface, we all know they make mistakes too. they just hide it well. and even if they hide it well, that facade eventually collapses, revealing their mistakes. it bleeds through to the surface. it always does. so what's the point of erecting the facade in the first place? let them see. if

to have and lose or never have
is it better to have had something, and lose it; or is it better to never even have in the first place? think about the sense of hearing. if you were born deaf, then you've never even heard anything to begin with. although you know you're missing something, that's what you've been told at least, it's always been this way for you. you're used to it. you don't even know what sound is like. it's not like you've ever heard music, or listened to someone talk, or even heard those normal, everyday sounds we take for granted. because you've never known sound, you find it easier to continue as you are. it's just how it is. on the other hand,
humans are like hair. hair changes its length one of two ways. the first is natural growth over time. the second is the abrupt change of cutting. likewise, humans change for two distinct reasons. one reason is growth as time goes on, change caused by going through the mundane things of life. then there is abrupt change, akin to cutting hair, brought on by a choice or situations in life.
i wear glasses. i’m glad i do, because if i didn’t, i’d be pretty blind. i am very nearsighted, so close up, i can see with incredible clarity, but more than two feet away, it starts to blur. but even with my glasses on, i’m still nearsighted. in a more figurative sense, that is. sometimes i do things without thinking of future consequences caused by that action. sometimes the consequences are good, sometimes bad. i blurt out whatever i’m thinking without thought about context or how it might be interpreted. i stay up late, then i’m upset when i’m tired the next day. in a way, i think we̵

Random thought: There is no such thing as darkness. Darkness is actually just the complete absence of light. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is just the complete absence of heat.
If someone from the government looked at my Pinterest, they'd probably put me on a terrorist/psychopath/possible murderer or serial killer list. I SWEAR THE ONLY REASON I PIN STUFF ON WHAT AREAS OF THE BODY TO STAB TO KILL SOMEONE THE QUICKEST OR STUFF LIKE THAT IS SO ONE DAY, WHEN I ACTUALLY GET AROUND TO IT, I CAN WRITE SWORD FIGHTS AND STUFF LIKE THAT!!! Or I might be a serial killer. Who knows. Definitely not me.
For you If I don't get this back I'm obviously not a friend. Now, I have a game for you, it's been played since 1977. Once you read this, you have to send it to 15 people. Your next 5 days will be like this: Day 1 - you will wake up to the biggest shock of your life. Day 2 - you will cross paths with an old friend you have missed. Day 3 - you will find yourself with a lot of money. Day 4 - your day will be perfect. Day 5 - the love of your life will kiss you. Don't break this. Send it to 14 friends in 10 minutes. It's not that hard. Whoever sent this to you must care about you. Don't know how to send it? Lol. Just hold your finger on it and it should say forward.we
WARNING! Carry on reading! Or you will die, even if you only looked at the word warning! Once there was a little girl called Clarissa, she was ten-years-old and she lived in a mental hospital, because she killed her mom and her dad. She got so bad she went to kill all the staff in the hospital so the More-government decided that best idea was to get rid of her so they set up a special room to kill her, as humane as possible but it went wrong the machine they were using went wrong. And she sat there in agony for hours until she died. Now every week on the day of her death she returns to the person that reads this letter, on a Monday night at 12:00 a.m. She creeps into your room and kills you slowly, by cutting you and watching you bleed to death. Now send this to ten other pictures on this one site, and she will haunt someone else who doesn't. This isn't fake. apparently, if you copy and paste this to ten comments in the next ten minutes you will have the best day of your life tomorrow.You will either get kissed or asked out, if you break this chain u will see a little dead girl in your room
