soo there's been a lack of comments/subscriptions :[[ but here are a couple lyrics from some of my favourite songs
1. Hold my hand, maybe we can't change the world but I want to love you, the best that... The best that I can (hold my hand by hootie&the blow fish)
2. i realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me so go and tell your friends that i'm obsessive and crazy that's fine; i'll tell mine you're gay (picture to burn by taylor swift)
3. it seems to me you lived your life Like a candle in the wind Never knowing who to cling to When the rain set in And I would have liked to have known you But I was just a kid Your candle burned out long before Your legend ever did (candle in the wind by elton john)
4. She swears that there's no difference, Between the lies and compliments. It's all the same if everybody leaves her (beautiful disaster by jon mclaughlin)
short update but at least it's something :] lemme know what you thiiink. life's been rough lately
soo here's an update from the Perfect Match, by Jodi Picoult. sorry it took forever!
1. It's foolish, I know, but I've lived my life believing in superstitions. Not throwing salt over my shoulder or wishing on eyelashes or wearing lucky shoes to trials-instead, I've considered my own good luck directly correlated to the misfortunes of others. Starting out as a lawyer, I begged for sexual assaults and molestations, the horrors no one else wanted to face. I told myself that if I faced the problems of strangers on a daily basis, it would magically keep me from having to face my own.
2. Visiting violence repeatedly, you become inured to atrocity. You can look at blood without blinking, you can say the word rape and not wince. It turns out, though, that this shield is a plastic one. That all defenses break down when the nightmare happens in your own bed.
3. I have met convicted child molesters before. They don't wear badges or brands or tattoos announcing their vice. it's hidden under a soft, grandfatherly smile; it's tucked in the pocket of a button down shirt. They look like the rest of us, and that's what makes it so frightening-to know that these beasts move among us, and we are none the wiser. They have girlfriends and wives who have loved them, unaware
4. Life, it turns out, goes on. There is no cosmic rule that grants you immunity from the details just because you have come face to face with a catastrophe. The garbage cans still overflow, the bills arrive in the mail, telemarketers interrupt dinner.
5. Sometimes when you pick up your child you can feel the map of your own bones beneath your hands, or smell the scent of your skin in the nape of his neck. This is the most extraordinary thing about motherhood-finding a piece of yourself separate and apart that all the same you could not live without. It is the feeling you get when you place the last scrap of the thousand piece jigsaw puzzle; it is the last footfall in a photo-finish race; exhilaration and homecoming and stunned wonder, caught between those stubby fingers and the spaces where baby teeth have given way.
6. The woman all those witnesses saw; the woman on that videotape-she isn't the woman Caleb married. And when your wife is not the same person you fell in love with eight years ago, where exactly does that leave you? Do you try to get to know who she has become and hope for the best? Or do you keep deceiving yourself in the hope that she might wake up one morning and have gone back to the woman she used to be?
7. If i have gained anything over these months, it is the knowledge there is no starting over-only living with the mistakes you've made. But then, Caleb taught me long ago you can't build anything without some sort of foundations. Maybe we learn to live our lives by understanding, firsthand, how not to live them.
8. Maybe honesty is overvalued. What's truly priceless is picking out from a stream of falsehoods the ones you most need to hear.
9. What if your best friend was being held at gunpoint and you had a revolver in your own hand? What would you do? What if you came home and found your wife being raped? Where is the line? We're taught to stand up for ourselves; we're taught to stand up for others we care about. But all of a sudden, there's a new line drawn by the law. You sit back, it says, and let us deal with this. And you know that the law won't even do a very good job-it will traumatize your child, it will set free a convict in only a few years. In the eyes of this law, that's dealing with your problem, what's morally right is considered wrong...and what's morally wrong, you can get away with.
10. If I've learned anything, it's that we don't know half of what we think we do. And we know ourselves least of all.
so kindof a long post. love love LOVE this book--so well written and emotional, definitely recommend it to anyone. it's a little intense though, just saying. but please please comment and subscribe! lemme know what you think/how i can improve/which quote's your favourite!
and life's so stresful right now with school coming to a close :[
hey i'm really sorry i haven't posted in ridic long, i'm under so much stress right now with family trouble, finals, boys and college in general. it sucks real hard. just stoaked to get this week over with.
oh. and question. if a guy has hurt you before but everybody keeps saying that he misses you and whenever you see him it's almost like it's true-what would you do?
i've been so busy with college and sorority stuff and drama it's been ridic but here's a short update with a couple song lyrics. enjoy!
1. Through the wind and the rain She stands hard as a stone In a world that she can't rise above But her dreams give her wings And she flies to a place where She's loved ["Concrete Angel"-Martina McBride]
2. i hate that stupid old pickup truck you never let me drive you're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying so watch me strike a match on all my wasted time as far as im concerned you're just another picture to burn ["Picture to Burn"-Taylor Swift]
3. There's something in your eyes That says we can beat this Because these things will change ["Change"-Taylor Swift]
4. Well I aint never been the barbie doll type no I can't swig that sweet champaigne I'd rather drink beer all night In a tavern or in a honky tonk I want a 4 wheel drive tailgate I've got posters on my wall of Skynard, Kid and Straight Some people look down on my But I don't give a rip I stand barefooted in my own front yard with a baby in on my hip ["Redneck Woman"-Gretchen Wilson]
5. No I don't need no designer tag to make my men want me You might think I'm trashy A little too hard core But get in my neck of the woods I'm just the girl next door ["Redneck Woman"-Gretchen Wilson]
6. I thought that I should tell you, If it's not too late to say I could put back all the pieces, They just might not fit the same Cuz nothin's worth losin' Especially the chance to make it right ["When we Die"-Bowling for Soup]
7. I almost held up a grocery store, where I almost did five years and then seven more, Cause I almost got caught for a fight with a thug, Cause he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs, That I almost got hooked on cause you ran away, and I wish I would've had the nerve to ask you to stay ["Almost"-Bowling for Soup]
so that's all for today because i got some drama to deal with. but to give a synopsis, i have this guy who goes to school with me and he's FANTASTIC! probably one of the best guys i've ever met but i'm scared, mostly because of my past with guys. and there's a couple other people i'm interested in. what would y'all do? should i commit to him or just keep it so that i can go out and see others?
lemme know what you think/would do and what your fave quote is! peace&love
