Facebook Will Never Charge You to Use It. Here's... →
The rumor that Facebook will suddenly start charging users to access the site has become one of the social media era’s perennial chain letters. While Facebook prominently advertises that its service is “free and always will be” on its homepage, it hasn’t stopped false rumors of a pay…

“Nothing is fine and everything hurts.”
I’m not sure were I got the phrase, but it echos through my mind every time I wake up, especially from naps. I wish I knew it’s origins - when it first entered my head as a concise series of words and not just a feeling. Maybe it’s just the inverse of “Everything was beautiful, and nothing hurt” - Kurt Vonnegut.
I know...

MARRY ME!
I worked 15 hrs Friday, 15 hrs yesterday on minimal sleep, spend the whole day today on the move and have event taken sleeping pills and yet it’s 4 am and I’m awake with my heart pounding and tears streaming down my cheeks. And I haven’t cried over you in what feels like so long after crying every day. I thought maybe, just maybe, I’d moved past that part.
Today at dinner...
Last night in my inability to sleep i decided it was time to change my profile picture on Facebook. Looking back through pictures I found one of me with red hair holding my cousin Alex. I couldn’t believe he was that tiny once. I mean he’s a giant kid so he was never really “tiny” but still … look how much he’s grown.
Then I found the picture he took of me...

Nothing compares No worries or cares Regrets and mistakes They are memories made. Who would have known How bittersweet this would taste?
- Someone Like You, Adele
(In love with this song and hoping they don’t burn it out on the radio as much as they did Rolling in the Deep.)

Making progress. Coming and going with this. Hours and hours of talking with my mom about everything under the sun. About things in life I’ve never heard her say and she’s never heard me say. And so much of it is me recognizing all of my irrationalities and refusing to be anything but wildly emotional. But … making progress.
I suppose part of the problem is I always knew you...
This is exactly why I don’t like depending on anything. I make my own way. I don’t ask for help. I spent years working very hard to do my own thing and not need you. Saying over and over that I wanted my own life. Not to just follow your dreams. And as soon as I gave in. As soon as I said yes, let’s really do this. Let’s change both of our lives to make this happen. You...
You weren’t perfect. You were everything I wanted and nothing that I wanted at the same time. I understand that. I don’t feel it yet, but I understand it. I just thought that we had both fought and worked so hard for this … but surely we would be happy. That surely this was the right answer. And if I could take out the distance barrier, it would be just right.
I feel like...

“It’s like you took a bottle of ink and you threw it at a wall. Smash! And all...”
– Alan Watts (via fernsandmoss)
You spent so long asking me to follow your dream. Never truely respecting that I needed to have my own dream. And it took me longer to get there. But I did. And now you’ve given up. You didn’t actually try to understand all those years. And you still aren’t. You’ve just left. And I spent so long making this work that I don’t know how to start over.

All the things I can’t say to you are going on here. I’ve been banned from contacting you by myself and my support system. But I can’t stop getting these thoughts out.
A move into more rationality has left me feeling completely betrayed. I’m supposed to get mad at you. I’m told that’s the next step. To want to destroy you. And I can’t. I just feel...
Ruby: “Last night, I couldn’t sleep because I kept thinking about Big Kid School. I was thinking things that I know in my head won’t happen but I feel in my heart might happen, like I won’t make friends or the teacher will yell at me or people will call me a baby.”
It’s nice to be reminded that even little kids have the heart v head issue. Knowing verse...
Trapped and tormented by my own mind. By my own choices and my own history. Unable to escape the words and the images. The memories, the times I could have changed it all. Hindsight is 20/20 is such a painful phrase. This all would have been fixed if either of us gave just a bit a long time ago. That’s the absolute worst realization.
Simultaneously bitter that one person’s actions can...
