Calming/Relaxing Music:
(pours vodka into the pits of hell) for persephone
ha
- its weird having things that are familiar like website spaces, but being in such a different point in your life than you were when you were here last. some things never change i guess? most things, however, do
- im in college now!!! and it’s not like..the beginning period where everything is still fresh and new and weird. i’m like, almost comfortable in it? which is weird. v weird. but good, to be honest! real good <3
- when i made the post saying i wasn’t gonna use this blog as much anymore a bunch of porn blogs started following me and i don’t know why or how they found out or if they were just waiting like vultures? but..not really sure how to feel abt it..
- college has been insanely different than anything i’ve ever experienced and it is filled with so many new experiences. but still there’s an immense immense, super real loneliness and most days it feels like there’s nothing in the world that can fill that void. i mean it’s just like a gaping hole. it’s huge. and i thought i was lonely before? pls
- so instead i listen to a lot more music and that usually brings me back to myself. i’m really grateful that it has that effect on me, because i know its not this way for everyone
- i was so unhappy in high school and if only i knew i would experience all these cool things in college, i wouldn’t have worried nearly as much. if only i believed people when they told me i’d be ok. i think i’d be a lot less tortured.
- i think i may have repeatedly hurt someone i rlly care about, only i didn’t realize it may have been hurting them until its too late. not sure if i can forgive myself for this one…
- i’m still coming on here, every day, going through my likes and the things i reblogged and saving my favorite quotes so i don’t lose them. it’s weird to exist in the metaphorical internet background, but i like it a lot
- my roommate is out of the room almost all of the time and she comes back p late at night and i’m not used to being left alone this much, but i have a feeling its necessary i get used to it
- so many great things have happened that sometimes i’m convinced im not actually alive anymore, and actually did die that one fatal day, and that this is just what my life would have been like if i hadn’t decided to end it
- honestly…didn’t think i’d survive college, or be able to handle it on my own. yet here the fuck i am!!! how bout that.
- i don’t think ppl read these anymore but if u are, hope you’re well :~) later <3
but you know, everything ends. i think, it’s just a question of when
i have been going through the process of going through blogs i’ve followed recently and liking my favorite things to save in a book somewhere, but i;ve given up on that because i think you can’t capture all the great things in the world, from every blog. so i’m going to begin a really big thing! where i go through my 7,000+ likes and my 1500 page blog and saving it all into one book an then print it one day., for myself. it is a big project. but i shall do it. it is essentially gonna be a life bible from my time here.
so i don’t plan to really be posting any new content anymore. i might make an art blog out of this later in my life (to post my art), once i’ve finished everything, or maybe even during. but i’m not gonna be here really, for what you know me as, if you know me as anything at all
i’ve said goodbye a lot and come back the next day, but this time it is going to be more of a gradual goodbye, because i’ll still be logging in probably every day, to work on saving all of the things i want to save. but just..nothing new no more. i might reblog maybe one or two things, but maybe probably not. or maybe i’ll change m mind tomorrow. m very indecisive. ahh. don’t worry. if you are. i’ll b around
anyway. thank you. thanks for everything :+) i’ve had a really great time, and met some really special people. here’s to what awaits me next in life!!! good luck to everyone :~)
love,
me!!!!
How can I ask anyone to love me when all I do is beg to be left alone.
