It seemed to me as though we were going to the same place, because he stayed in front of me for a few blocks. Eventually, though, he turned down a side street and was lost from view.
It made me sad for a while, knowing that we...

I dislike sub-par maths results, grimy bathrooms, stretch marks, squabbles over inheritance and the fact that my leggings are falling apart. I also dislike stress. And pickles.
I do like synonyms, seeing friends that have been away for ages, the epic smileys on Facebook and de-stressing. I also like improvised cookies. And the fact that I’m finally getting around to grabbing my...

I realised this morning that although we don’t always see eye to eye, she was your everything. I’m sorry for not understanding earlier. I’m sorry about all of the disagreements. Sometimes, I forget she isn’t there with you still, living in your house in the woods.

Sometimes, people talk without listening. Other people listen without talking. Neither work particularly well. I wish people would hear with their hearts - it would make conversation so much easier.
On a different, yet related topic: taboos make me cringe. Why do they exist?
I miss you.
You used to take me to A&W for French toast. If we were lucky, we’d get to sit in the booths by the window. ♥
