A Reader

“Date a girl who reads. Date a girl who spends her money on books instead of clothes. She has problems with closet space because she has too many books. Date a girl who has a list of books she wants to read, who has had a library card since she was twelve. Find a girl who reads. You’ll know that she does because she will always have an unread book in her bag. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. You see the weird chick sniffing the pages of an old book in a second hand book shop? That’s the reader. They can never resist smelling the pages, especially when they are yellow. She’s the girl reading while waiting in that coffee shop down the street. If you take a peek at her mug, the non-dairy creamer is floating on top because she’s kind of engrossed already. Lost in a world of the author’s making. Sit down. She might give you a glare, as most girls who read do not like to be interrupted. Ask her if she likes the book. Buy her another cup of coffee. Let her know what you really think of Murakami. See if she got through the first chapter of Fellowship. Understand that if she says she understood James Joyce’s Ulysses she’s just saying that to sound intelligent. Ask her if she loves Alice or she would like to be Alice.It’s easy to date a girl who reads. Give her books for her birthday, for Christmas and for anniversaries. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song. Give her Neruda, Pound, Sexton, Cummings. Let her know that you understand that words are love. Understand that she knows the difference between books and reality but by god, she’s going to try to make her life a little like her favorite book. It will never be your fault if she does. She has to give it a shot somehow. Lie to her. If she understands syntax, she will understand your need to lie. Behind words are other things: motivation, value, nuance, dialogue. It will not be the end of the world. Fail her. Because a girl who reads knows that failure always leads up to the climax. Because girls who understand that all things will come to end. That you can always write a sequel. That you can begin again and again and still be the hero. That life is meant to have a villain or two. Why be frightened of everything that you are not? Girls who read understand that people, like characters, develop. Except in the Twilightseries. If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. You will propose on a hot air balloon. Or during a rock concert. Or very casually next time she’s sick. Over Skype. You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots. Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads. Or better yet, date a girl who writes.”

I knew what it was like to love, but I never knew the feeling of being loved in return. I heard stories and watched many people experience it, wow did it seem amazing. I know some things in life are not meant to be, but I wish I received the love I gave. I just wanted to know the feeling of being loved back and having someone there to make me happy and appreciate me for once.

To be honest with you, I dont have the words to make you feel better, but I do have the arms to give you a hug, ears to listen to whatever you want to talk about, and i have a heart; a heart that's aching to see you smile again.

Currently

"She moved on, and
i feel sorry for you,
because she thought
you were the most amazing boy ever.

If she could have had any guy
in the world,
she still would have picked you.

Now, you're just
another part of her past,
a memory more faded every day.

And someday, she'll find the one
she deserves, and he will make her
the happiest girl in the world."

As you grow up, you will learn than even the person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken.

You'll fight with your best friend
You'll blame a new love for things an old one did
You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love

So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you'll never get back. Dont be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin.

Just one simple reminder :

No one can go with you for a lifetime, so you have to adjust yourself to be alone;
No one will help you again and again, so you have to fight all the time.

So Soon

Just let this sink in...

One day you'll be at your last friday night football game. One day you'll be at your last game with your team. One day you'll be taking your last test and eating your last school lunch. One day you'll be have your young and wild saturday night with people you've made a million memories with. One day you'll be standing in an alphabetical ordered lose in a cap & gown with people who you watched grow up. People who watched you grow up. Some of those people you'll never see again or hear about. One day you'll forget about all the people you knew, and you'll barely remember the memories until you find a pictures that makes you think of one. One day you'll be packing up 18 years of your life into boxes and hugging your parents goodbye.

It's sad..

One day you wont be in high school anymore. And we're all ready to leave so soon.

And yeah, we're all already did it.

But I would miss you guys so much, XII Multimedia 1.

Ha!

I'm the kind of  person that when i cry, i cry
When i fall for someone, i fall hard

People tell me I'm too intense when it comes to emotions
I'll do anything to be around you

I dont always look perfect and sometimes i get insecure
And i may have flaws,

But I'll love you better than anyone else ever could.
