today I got stood up by the same asshole that’s been stringing me along for a while. well, that’s not fair, he’s not really an asshole. and we’ve both made mistakes. but now I can’t fucking sleep. and I was hating that it was getting to me so hard.
then it hit me - just like in a movie - I’ve been alone all my life. I’ve found a whole bunch of assholes...
maybe accidentally made out with someone in a graffiti-filled bathroom and am not sorry about it at all.

you know what, I’ve been on this “let’s try to get skinny so dudes will like us” kick recently. fuck that. I don’t want to get skinny - I want to get happy.
I need to start appreciating myself more. I need to remember I’m fucking great.
starting today, that’s my mission.

so, apparently I underestimated my game. like a lot. maybe not in the real world, but in the nerdy world I’m like catnip.
it’s weird. I don’t know how to behave in this situation.

yesterday I went out for a supremely decadent lunch. it might have been the tastiest meal I’ve ever eaten. and it reminded me that so many times I eat out of boredom or convenience rather than appreciating what I’m ingesting. I need to stop that. I want to start eating for me. I want to eat when I’m hungry. I want to eat things that will make my body happy. I want to feel good...

that’s it. I’ve had enough of ridiculous online dating sites. goodbye, okcupid.
I logged on for the first time in weeks and it was just slightly too absurd for me to comprehend.
I’d rather be single in the real world realm, thanks.
I think I’m ok with not having a social or dating life.
or I’m lying to myself. both are highly likely.
anyway, this is my ode...

tonight my friend zach told me that he keeps thinking I’m a character in a TV show. he went on to clarify that if I were in a TV show it would be a reality show with me hanging out in the 1950s.
it’s one of the best compliments I’ve ever gotten.

it must say something about me that I always start seriously crushing on someone almost exactly three weeks before I leave a place.
it is weird. must reevaluate at a later date.

I’ve just come to the realization that I’m the type of girl that people fall in lust with, but never love.
now I just need to accept that.

I just realized I haven’t opened microsoft word in more than a month.
yikes. that needs to change.
must start writing again.
ok, so I lied. I haven’t made my full comeback yet. too many things all going on at once.
it will happen eventually.

hey, tumblr. I’m coming back. I swear.
I have unofficially dubbed these coming months, “the summer of self improvement.”
sounds like a self-help novel, but I’m ok with that.
let’s make it happen.

shit son, what a fantastic weekend.
there were more laughs this weekend than the entire time I’ve been in new zealand.
it’s sad to be leaving that behind, but I’m so glad I got such a good glimpse of it.
and it’s refreshing to know that I’ve been important to the people that I’ve met down here; that I’m not just another passing face.
I’ve...
I think that writing in the dark with nothing but the light of the laptop screen is our generation’s writing by the light of a candle. much less romantic, sure, but still equally intoxicating.
I don’t know what to do with myself. I’m leaving in two weeks, and I’m beyond excited to get back home, but I also know that everything seems to be falling into place now. not...

I’m flying home on april 8th. I’m going to get healthy. I’m going to feel better. I’m going to save money. I’m going to laugh. I’m going to be happy. and I’m going to move to nyc in august.
I don’t feel right here. I don’t have any close friends since annelyse left. I can’t see myself here. I’m too far away. it’s time for me...

I feel like my thoughts are crashing around in my head and I can’t make any sense of them at all. which makes me feel useless.
I need to figure it out. I feel like I’m close. I’m trying to learn. I’m trying to pay attention. I want my soul to be at peace. I don’t want to feel so conflicted. I crave calm.
I need to feel calm. and happy with myself.

there’s this french cafe nestled into the a corner of a faux alleyway in the city and they have amazing crepes. I always order the rhubarb with cream.
there’s also this gorgeous guy who works there. tall, french accent, brown messy hair and today he was wearing glasses. so, yeah, totally and completely gorgeous.
and he’s totally out of my league. but I can’t help that...

lately I’ve been berating myself for not having had a real relationship yet. I’m 22. I feel like that’s really abnormal. maybe it’s not. maybe it’s not really a big deal at all.
maybe it will all happen in due time. or maybe I just need to grow a pair and figure out how to express my emotions.
I think I’m just sick of waiting. I want to experience the...
