Anonymous asked: I'm waiting for my A's too. Looking calm and all but actually worried sick and anxious, really.. And relatives telling me "no pressure, just try to score" but what I hear is the words they don't say. My family's depending on me, probably cause so far I'm the only one who went the JC route. I just.. Idk Lycia. I don't want to think so much.

Have you ever had the urge to just go up to a stranger and ask about their life story
Feel so ignorant and shallow sometimes. What you know will always always be infinitely smaller than what you don’t.
“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to...

Want to keep a catalog of people so that I can remember these encounters with strangers
Never thought I’d say this but I stopped reading a j winterson book halfway ie I gave up on it [boating for beginners]
Two more mix tapes + heartfelt letters - I love doing this, from the selection of songs to the sketching of the cd cover to making the track list to designing the album art to sealing...

“I guess you can say I wish to see you find your firm footing in your life too, being able to say to yourself one day that you can really ‘go forth and live strong’ - something like that. I believe in the possibilities of people, and yourself being one of these people I personally know. To me, I value the richness and depth of people, from their insecurities to their dreams,...

i am aware of how religious i sound these days; and i’m not saying i’m not, neither am i denying it, but i guess i’ve been getting lots of spiritual food lately. when was it that i said this is based on blind faith? these days i feel that its more than that. some kind of basis. perhaps, this: everything is falling into place. perfect timing, perfect for me. if i take apart a...

sigh i know its only january and i shouldn’t be thinking about it; i don’t usually think about it but today was insane, i just kept recalling how bad the math paper...

I guess I owe you an apology. I know I said always, and trust me I meant it, I know I did, maybe just not in the way we both thought. When you are similar to someone in many ways, expect also to still be extremely different. Small differences, but they add up all the same. We find the things we look for. Not always, but if you’re not looking for them that’s when they are the easiest to...

it plays in my head over and over again
the other night i dreamt about it and woke up feeling my tears on the pillow. dramatic and all. seems like everything i try to escape from when i’m awake comes back to haunt me even when i’m asleep
what if it eventually does not happen? what kind of world would that be to live in

you talk like you know me better than i know myself. which, at this point in time, seems highly likely. did i tell you, that i know your story, because your story is mine
waiting to find myself - and also waiting to be found, that’s all

going to be honest with this one
he said: “let’s hope that 2012 can be better for ourselves, I’m kind of hoping to really embrace all the broken halves of my selves, to love the very best and the very worst, to pull myself together and get up from my down days”
this has been going on for too long, i tell myself its time for change but this feeling always comes back. not...

A proper catalogue
At first I dreaded this job, am helping my mum’s friend out at her student care centre within a school, hoping to be pointed in the right direction. Feel that maybe this is what I want to do, with older kids.
Working with primary school children is more than demanding, but also highly rewarding. Have learnt so much. The other guardians are staunch Christians, this is...

Well this is a long post
WHEN YOU ARE BROKEN YOU ARE THE CLOSEST TO GOD
I guess, part of growing up is getting your shit together. Funny how things have changed and I’m always trapped in the landslide when everything shifts. I’m just trying to hold myself together amidst all this bullshit I’ve been thrown.
Counting my blessings. It’s difficult because i’m so bitter, but I try. I have...
