“what really knocks me out is a book, when you’re all done reading it, you wished the author that wrote it was a terrific friend of yours and you could call them up on the phone whenever you felt like it”

Lemony Snicket
there is one thing i desire more than anything in this life. it might sound corny but i want to love and be loved in return. i want to love so badly it hurts. i want to meet the one person i can’t go a day without seeing or talking to. i want my heart to beat so hard when this person is around. when they look at me, i want to feel like the only person in the world.
this might be a hopeless wish, i probably shouldn’t get my hopes up. but despite the world looking so bleak in terms of love, i think getting my hopes would be the best thing i could do. if i don’t hope for it then i have nothing to look forward to.

He Who Must Not Be Named

- Me: Whoa! Phone made Baltimore into Voldemort!
- Dad: DON’T SAY HIS NAME. HE WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED.

i’m going to be 19 in a little over a month now and this realization has caused me to think about my life so far.
what have i done?? sure… i got into a good school but i haven’t really done anything worth remembering. there are people here who have already traveled the world, been on the Oprah show, and saved small villages in remote places of the world. and those are just the freshmen. i was a dancer… every free minute of my time - when i wasn’t in school or sleeping - was spent dancing, a serious faux pas when it came to my social life. but i never had time to do much else, or was it that i never tried to make the time to do any of those things??
