personality style realizing
I just needed to realize that style was like personality - it didn't always have to be consistent; it just had to be something you lived with.
fall mean thinking
Because that's the thing about mean people: They make you think that the world will never work, that there are divides that you will fall into if you approach. It takes a whole lot of good people to fill in the breach created by a single mean one.
complaining might matter
You don't realize - the great thing about change is how quickly we get used to it. So I'm not complaining. the more things change,the more they don't stay the same. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. They might not change everywhere all at once - but there are moments when the impossible becomes the inevitable, and the rest is just a matter of time.
song long form
Long live protest songs, in whatever form they take.
feelings luck world
It was the most amazing feeling in the world. to know that something right happened, and to know that it had happened not through luck or command but simply because it was right.
book together pages
It felt good to be surrounded by books, by all this solid knowledge, by these objects that could be ripped page by page but couldn't be torn if the pages all held together.
blow wind

It's only a game if there is an absence of meaning. And we've already gone too far for that.
great-aunt knows
I know it was more than that. But it was also less than that, too.
want be-careful careful
Be careful what you're doing, because no one is ever who you want them to be.
answers succeed ends
It's hard to answer a question you haven't been asked. It's hard to show you tried unless you end up succeeding.
way ifs
But whether or not you are here, you are here—because these words are for you, and they wouldn't exist if you weren't here in some way.
believe hard-times hoping-for-something
All this hoping for something- or someone- that's maybe hopeless. I'm having a hard time processing what I am supposed to believe, or if I'm even supposed to. There is too much information, and I don't like a lot of it.
