“SHE DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING. SHE JUST HUGGED ME TIGHT AND WOULDN’T LET GO. SO, I HUGGED HER BACK.”
-PERKS OF BEING A WALLFLOWER

THERE WAS A TIME I LOVED SOMEONE THIS MUCH. NOW I CAN’T REMEMBER WHAT IT FEELS LIKE, BUT I CAN REMEMBER REMEMBERING.

GOD, WHAT GOOD AM I IF I CAN’T MAKE REAL ART? NOW I SOUND LIKE EVERY OTHER WHINY, MEDIOCRE ARTIST. GREAT.
BUT STILL, I HATE TO ADMIT IT…
I LIKE APPROVAL.
I WANT SUCCESS. I WANT TO BE HEARD, AND YES, I WANT TO MAKE PEOPLE LIKE ME BECAUSE IF THEY LIKE ME, IT MEANS I MADE THEM FEEL SOMETHING, IT MEANS I HELPED THEM. I WANT TO MATTER IN SOMEONE’S LIFE. I WANT TO BE THE CHANGE THIS WORLD NEEDS. I WANT TO BE THE COMPASSION THAT’S MISSING FROM PEOPLE’S LIVES WHEN THEY MOST NEED IT.
I WANT YOU TO FOLLOW MY BLOG BECAUSE WHENEVER YOU’RE FEELING ALONE OR FUCKED UP OR EVEN MILDLY SAD, YOU SHOULD KNOW THERE IS A COSMIC LINK BETWEEN YOU AND OTHERS YOU HAVE NEVER EVEN MET AND THAT WHATEVER PAIN, HURT, ANGER, DESPAIR, AND THOUGHTS IN YOUR HEAD THAT MIGHT DAMAGE YOU MORE THAN ANY DISEASE COULD, IS NOT BEING IGNORED. THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT SUFFER AND MAKE TRULY AMAZING THINGS HAPPEN EVERY DAY AND THERE ARE ARTISTS THAT FIND A REASON FOR TRAGEDY AND MAKE PEOPLE AWARE THAT DESPITE HOW SCREWED UP A PERSON MIGHT BE, REGARDLESS OF THE THINGS THEY DO, THAT SOMEONE WHO IS HURT DESERVES COMPASSION AND THAT IF WE WERE ALL JUST A LITTLE KINDER, MAYBE EVERYONE WOULD BE A LITTLE HAPPIER.
SOMETIMES LIFE IS A FIGHT, BUT IT IS ALWAYS WORTH FIGHTING FOR.
AT SOME POINT, YOU JUST GOTTA GET OUT OF BED AND JOIN THE WAR.
