Hurray for Cynicism!

Can it be said that people are made for each other? That one can complete another? To my experience, no. True love is a farce. You can love your family and friends but once you try for a relationship, for a marriage, it all seems to go to shit. It becomes an endless series of compromises and regrets until neither one feels like they can be themselves anymore. Maybe it's that they eventually don't even know who that is. Some of these relationships last because neither wants to go through the effort of completely uprooting their lives for the sake of finding a new happiness. Perhaps I'm strange because I have no interest in finding a romantic relationship now, in the near future, or ever really. I just don't see the point in it. Everyone is worried about finding "sparks" between them and another, but what they fail to acknowledge is that sparks turn into fires and all fires eventually burn out.


  

Cassadee Freakin' Pope

I have nothing important or thought provoking to say unfortunately.
Cassadee Pope has just won The Voice and I can honestly say I am so overjoyed. She is one of the few women in society that I look up to and I have been a fan of hers since Hey Monday was first starting out. I've followed her and supported her and now she's going to be a huge star because everyone is realizing how amazingly talented she is. It's fantastic that her dreams are coming true. She deserves every moment of it.

The little things that no one knows...

We see what we want, create our own realities. We accept what we like and ignore what we don't. Even if the signs are pretty clear. All of this is due to our constant need for "perfection". We aren't happy with something/someone damaged, broken. So either we ignore the problems at hand or try to fix them. Unfortunately, ignorance is forever our go-to for instant bliss.

Dear Mom

It's funny how you're so quick to judge others when essentially you're exactly the same way. The consequences for your actions and theirs are identical. Granted, they be manifested in different ways. But the effects that both of you have had on your children bear no difference. You just don't see what you've done, what you're doing. You never have because you refuse to accept any culpability. I love you to pieces, but sometimes your blind and unquestioning ignorance is laughable. If you could read my mind and heart, you'd be ashamed. If you only knew what goes on behind the closed doors of our household...

Stay Away From My Friends

"And you don't know what it's like
To wake up in the middle of the night,
Scaring the thought of kissing razors.
This blood evacuation is telling me to cave in.
Stay away...."

Absolutely obsessed with this song lately. Selfish Machines by Pierce The Veil is one of the best albums I've heard in a while. That is all.
