Keep going. It's making you stronger.
Sometimes I just want someone to talk to.
Not to receive advice.
Not to be judged.
Just to be heard and listened to.

"Just because we're not friends anymore doesn't mean you didn't change me. I owe a lot of the current me to you."
"We would be perfect together. And not just perfect like you see in the movies. Not the perfect that isn't perfect six and a half years from now. It's the perfect because you're my best friend and you've been my best friend for longer than most people. We've been through a lot and I don't pretend around you. There's no pretending at all. If we were to date, we would be happy.""Stop being a dirty little slut and stop being that fake little B that I want to punch. You turned my best friend into your little minion. I'ma punch you right now. Okay? Okay."
"Kiss me on the mouth. Right now."
This list could go on, really.
I have an awful habit- problem more than habit- of not being able to say what I think. Maybe it's from years of getting shot down when I did. I don't know. Motivation doesn't matter in this case. Either way, I can't say what I think so I write it down in my little notebook that also happens to be purple. Lots of letters to lots of people. Lots of letters that will never be sent.

For today, just listen.
Don’t think or judge, just listen.

I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

Education is what remains after one has forgotten what one has learned in school.

You cannot find peace by avoiding life.

I wish these entries didn't need titles.
Today I reached page 100 of my Word document journal. It's a funny thing when a year ago I wrote the sameish thing as I wrote today. I've changed so much but I'm still in the same place.
Slow down.
We've got time left to be lazy.
It was love at second sight.
I'll set the table, you can make the fire.
One day I'm going to have a really neat library

Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one’s head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forgive life, to be at peace.
-Sylvia Plath
Live to the point of tears.
-Albert Camus
You can only be young once. But you can always be immature.
-Dave Barry
The only way to find true happiness is to risk being completely cut open.

Note to self
Try:
People that aren't me know me a lot better than I do.
Books are for people who wish they were somewhere else.
-Mark Twain
What I want is to be needed. What I need is to be indispensable to somebody. Who I need is somebody that will eat up all my free time, my ego, my attention. Somebody addicted to me. A mutual addiction.
-Chuck Palahniuk
One day I will find the right words, and they will be simple.
-Jack Kerouac

I found a new best friend.
Sometimes God knows exactly what I need. He knew that I needed a best friend to love me just as much as I love her. She understands me always and when she doesn't, she figures out how. She thinks that I'm so amazing and she would never try to change me. She is just cutest, sweetest, most wonderful girl ever. We've known each other for a month but we know everything about our lives and the greatest thing is that she doesn't judge me for my past. Okay. It's good to be loved.
