my mother is smart...sometimes
Me: Did you know JD Salinger died?
Mom: Did he write Harry Potter?
reminisce often
In fourth grade, my teacher said, “write”
I’d never been one to disobey,
So I let my heart lead the way,
As it selfishly scatted across the lines of my paper,
left to right, write, write, write, left to right.

Hate Poem - Julie Sheehan
I hate you truly. Truly I do. Everything about me hates everything about you. The flick of my wrist hates you. The way I hold my pencil hates you. The sound made by my tiniest bones were they trapped in the jaws of a moray eel hates you. Each corpuscle singing in its capillary hates you.
Look out! Fore! I hate you.

Happiness Project's Interview with Leo Babauta
Gretchen: What's something you know now about happiness that you didn't know when you were 18 years old
Leo: For most people, happiness is a choice (unless you have clinical depression or something like that). This isn't immediately obvious to most of us, especially just starting out in life, because we think we need a good job or a good spouse or a good income or a nice house and car or world travel in order to be happy. But happiness isn't about any of that. It's about wanting to be happy, and living your life so that you're happy. It's about staying positive and seeing the good things in everything.

aaand on that note
I was just reading about astrological signs and whatnot because I’m really cool. And I know they’re completely bogus half the time but I couldn’t contain my curiosity. And it was saying how Aquarius are always in search of something and they’re constantly questioning and that they’re very aloof and must do things their own way and they don’t like to be tied...
who? what? where when why?
Whoever decided the way we operate dude? There are so many characteristics and wants and needs that go into being human and I don’t care if you’re gonna go all Henry David Thoreau on me and tell me life’s simple because it’s not. People are all so different, how could anyone ever keep up with so many vast differences? People aren’t simple at all! There’s so...

a product of my overthinking
tell me, what is the meaning of life?
to be a good daughter? or sister? or wife?
that’s the first question a test i’ve yet to take,
too bad this test’s fictional, ‘cause reality’s not so fake.
who deems what’s worth knowing?
academics are a mere patch in this quilt i am sewing,
they won’t tell us there’s more to this world than equations and...

Dear Michael Cera,
Please marry me. I have decided that it is true that in real life most people would not go for you, but I have also decided that I am not most people. I hope to one day marry you…or someone that is freakishly similar.
Love,
