in my fashion

"You have been my friend. That in itself is a tremendous thing. I wove my webs for you because I liked you. After all, what's a life anyway? We're born, we live a little, we die. A spider's life can't help being something of a mess, with all this trapping and eating flies. By helping you, perhaps I was trying to lift up my life a trifle. Heaven knows anyone's life can stand a little of that." -Charlotte's Web

Buckle under pressure

Jenny's hand is hanging right next to me
and creeping me out.

I love Madonna.

I hate that I procrastinate
I hate that I love to stay up late.

Hi Suzanne!

I hear insomnia isn't a choice, but I think I decided to become an insomniac a long time ago.

Somehow you remain

I want to pretend that it is still November
so I don't have to be brave
and I am not making mistakes
I'm tripping, and hitting my head, and spilling,
and I know its all because
none of this is right,
and blame myself for bringing it up in the first place.

I hope no one in Honduras minds that I'm going to cry when I read his letters.

PostSecret



The fact that people write and send these
makes me wonder
just how many people there are out there in the world
who are exactly like me.

I wish I had something worth sending,
and I wish I had the guts to send it.

Fly


Wait, who are you,
I don't know you,
and you're assuming way too much.
I'm not like this,
I'm not ready,
I think I'm still in love.
Please slow down,
please hold up,
I wish I knew what to say,
but my words aren't spilling out,
like they do most days.

4th period

this didn't start
like this
I didn't mean
for this
I was afraid
of this.
I'm so sorry
for this.

Danny Boy

grandpas sweater and
vanilla latte goes to
tracy chapman and
browsing the radio
goes to gas station stops and
talking about life goes to
talking about grandpa and
not wanting to go to sleep goes to
slowly realizing that nights like this are
rare and don't last but they go to
good memories


I love you daddy.

Life's for livin' child, can't you see?
