FRIENDS ONLY
comment to be added
shouldn't be a problem; unless you're a creepy stalker.
Welcome to my world.
This is who I am, and if you don’t like it, too bad.
I am far from perfect.
I’ve got blonde hair and blue eyes, but my hair is always a mess and my makeup’s always smudged.
I love mess and chaos but I’m organized beyond belief and I’m never late for anything.
I am one of the laziest people you will ever meet, but I will always put forth the extra effort required to make someone’s day. I’m a pessimist and an optimist all rolled into one.
I run down stairs and fall up them. I like kissing in the rain, but it depends on who I’m kissing.
There are holes in my tank tops from where I tore the tags out and I wear my jeans as many days in a row as I can get away with. I’m afraid of mouse traps, but not mice, and my life goal is something no one else’s would ever be.
I don’t leave my house without makeup on my face and junk food in my bag.
I am unique.
I like having poetry written for me and splashing my friends with puddle-jumps. I wear pink Converse that are tattered beyond belief and the laces always come untied.
Naps are swell, but even better when someone you love is lying next to you. I like going 48 hours with 8 hours of interrupted sleep, and I love going to bed and not waking up until 12 hours later.
I drink too much Pepsi and I spend too much time eating, or at Tim Horton’s. I like to bite people.
I don’t know how I’d make it through the day without love.
And that’s where you come in. I’ve realized that the world can’t be nearly as bad as it seems if the world gave me you. You look past my flaws and still love me.
You tell me I’m beautiful when I feel like I’m not, and it makes the world look a little more beautiful because these days someone always has a problem with someone else, so when you find the someone who doesn’t have a problem with you and never wants to have a problem with you, you cling to that.
I won’t ever let you go, just because of that.
I am still me.
As much as I’m going to trip and fall over cracks in the concrete and fall up the stairs and send my books flying, I’ll still have you.
As much as I’m going to bite my nails and smear my makeup and get shampoo in my eyes, I’ll remember just how lucky I am to have someone like you who loves me with everything they can.
So many people would die for what I have.
They would die for who I have and for what I get to do with people who love me, and people whom I love. I tell you “Friends Forever” and I really do mean forever.
I’m not sure how to live without you anymore.
I love you.
Thank you.
I am not who you think I am.
I am nothing like who you think I am.
Because I am nothing like who I was.
And that's the only me you care to know.
I saw this on emolyrics. I laughed. But it's true.
Ladies and gentleman of the class of 2007...
If I could offer you only one tip for the future,
sunscreen would be it.
The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
scientists whereas the rest of my advice
has no basis more reliable than my own meandering
experience…I will dispense this advice now.
oh nevermind; you will not understand the
power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you'll look back at
photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now
how much possibility lay before you and how
fabulous you really looked.
You are not as fat as you imagine.
Don't worry about the future; or worry,
but know that worrying is as effective
as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.
The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that
never crossed your worried mind;
the kind that blindside you at 4 PM on some idle Tuesday.
Do one thing every day that scares you.
Sing.
Don't be reckless with other people's hearts,
don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.
Floss.
Don't waste your time on jealousy.
Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind,
the race is long, and in the end, it's only with yourself.
Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults;
if you succeed in doing this, tell me how...
Keep your old love letters.
Throw away your old bank statements.
Stretch.
Don't feel guilty if you don't know what
you want to do with your life.
The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22
what they wanted to do with their lives.
Some of the most interesting 40 year olds know still don't.
Get plenty of calcium.
Be kind to your knees,
you'll miss them when they're gone.
Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't.
Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance
the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.
What ever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much,
or berate yourself either.
Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.
Enjoy your body, use it every way you can,
don't be afraid of it, or what other people think of it,
it's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.
Dance.
Even if you have nowhere to do it
but in your own living room.
Read the directions,
even if you don't follow them.
Do not read beauty magazines,
they will only make you feel ugly.
Get to know your parents,
you never know when they'll be gone for good.
Be nice to your siblings;
they are the best link to your past and
the people most likely to stick with you in the future.
Understand that friends come and go,
but for the precious few you should hold on.
Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle
because the older you get,
the more you need the people you knew when you were young.
Live in New York City once,
but leave before it makes you hard.
Live in Northern California once,
but leave before it makes you soft.
Travel.
Accept certain inalienable truths.
Prices will rise, politicians will philander,
you too will get old, and when you do you'll fantasize
that when you were young prices were reasonable,
politicians were noble and children respected their elders.
Respect your elders.
Don't expect anyone else to support you.
Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse;
but you never know when either one might run out.
Don't mess too much with your hair,
or by the time it's 40, it will look 85.
Be careful whose advice you buy,
but, be patient with those who supply it.
Advice is a form of nostalgia,
dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal,
wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts
and recycling it for more than it's worth.
But trust me on the sunscreen.
i love you guys.
except not jeff, that's weird.
man, it's getting better.
sometimes i get pissed, like when the sun goes down and i'm all alone.
but other than that, whatever.
it's life.
let's live it.
i'll never again love you outloud.
You said you wanted friendship.
So that's all that you can get.
You said you wanted happiness.
Well, good luck with that, you're on your own.
Delete from your list.
Block me, whatever.
You were my best friend for so long, and I can't believe that means nothing to you.
I never expected this, not at all.
You said some hurtful things, I spent today trying to hurt you.
You said some hurtful things, and then said "so how's it going?"
Who the hell do you think you are?
Why couldn't I have wasted my time with someone better?
With someone who wouldn't throw it all away in the end.
You don't have any idea what I'm feeling because you never cared enough to find out.
How can you say that you love me, but I don't love you, and so that's the reason we're not together?
How can you say that?
Love is patient and wise.
not jealous, never boastful.
Read up on it my dear.
Because you don't know what the fuck it is at all.
You make me sick. To think that I believed your lies, your miserable little tales.
To think I wasted over a year of my life with you, and even more than that missing you.
How could I ever miss you?
At first it was like, you didn't think anything had changed.
But everything had.
You stomped on my heart harder than anyone ever has.
Kyle, way back when, said "Angelica, I don't love you. I don't think I ever have."
After he told me he loved me for a year.
And yea, it broke me.
It fucking broke me so much that I'm still not put all the way back together.
You know how sometimes, no matter how hard you try, there will always be a piece missing?
That's how it was with me and Kyle. Kyle and I.
You didn't say it in those words, but I can feel it.
Maybe we were just holding onto a memory, but it was a damn good memory.
and if it was a memory, stop saying that you love/d me.
if it was all over for you a few days before this, then why string me along in my little hell?
I've been floating around in these fiery seas for about a month.
The two people who were supposed to love me the most outside my family - my boyfriend and my best friend.
and i lost them both in a month.
can you imagine how that feels?
no. you can't.
you will never know how that feels, because you don't feel.you never have, you never will.
kate, what the hell. your life with her, maybe you should go back to it. you deserve each other.
break up her life, just like you broke up mine, and then walk away unscathed.
you always do.
you'll get over it in a week.
i'm not even crying anymore.
oh no.
now i'm just pissed.
i stopped crying when you said "it was over for me a few days ago"
that's when it broke me for sure.
you fucking liar.
you fucking liar.
rot in hell, or something.
rot in hell, or get over yourself.
yea, my life sucks.
but now yours does more.
because i'm not in it.
i'm an amazing person.
i've got friends who love me, a family who cares, and the strongest support system you could ever imagine.
they're the best.
you're not.
i deserve more than you.
i'm 17.
what the hell did you expect?
for me to spend the rest of my life with you?
for me to not question things?
just a dumb blonde with a dream she can't follow.
i know people think it.
well fuck them.
fuck you.
fuck this.
The hardest things to say are the words that mean the most
So I'll bite my tongue till it bleeds and I doubt you'll even know
The easiest things to fake are feelings to fool someone else
And I've been tricked for so long by you that
I spent these last few months in my own hell.
Brent&Cassie walking me home was sweet, even though they're going to have frostbite now.
Zahaluk even coming to school today was amazing, he's so sick.
My friends are the best. They gave me one day [today] to mope and be miserable, but tomorrow I have to be done.
And I will be.
Like you said, we were just holding on to a memory, something in a photograph; that love's been lost and it's never coming back.
Whatever.
sure.
now that memory is out of reach.
stomped on, like my heart.
you hurt me in a way that i never knew
thank god for friends.
without you guys, i'd be lost right now
you've got all that i need and this make believe will get me through another lonely night
i hate rollercoasters, but i live one.
and it's over.
and i have a headache.
but clearly, im wonderful.
fuck you.
i dont know anything that goes on inside your head.
nothing at all.
guess there's no need for me then.
talk to me when you're done finding out who you are.
i can tell you one thing's for damn sure, i hate this you.
I can make my own decisions, my own mistakes.
Don't go around telling one of the best friends I have that he's complicating my life.
Especially when he isn't.
I live my life for me, not for anyone else.
Maybe it's time that you all recognized that and started figuring out that I don't need you to ward people off for me.
......
I don't know what I'm doing here anymore.
It's so hard to pinpoint what I feel and why I feel it.
Every day that it gets colder
Is another day that I get older
And every day that I get older
Is another day less we have to dream.
Full of restrictions.
Boundaries.
Barred windows.
Locked doors.
Conducting the orchestra from behind a wall.
Music coming through that doesnt match your hands.
You can't rule over what you can't see.
I wish I could rule over the stars.
I wish I could weigh how much I'm worth through the amount of friends I have.
Through the amount of scribbled notes I've received, and love letters I've hung on my wall.
I wish our mouths would say what we type so well.
I wish we didn't live our lives as though we were watching them in the theatre.
Every minuted calculated, down the exact pauses between the words.
Camera One to the left, Camera Two pan up.
Every move we make is watched, filmed, captured, framed.
Too afraid of what we might become if we stop being afraid to make a false step, speak a wrong word.
What happens when everything goes away?
No limits.
No restrictions.
Boundaries broken down.
Bars taken off.
Locks broken.
When is it time for us to become who we are, and not who we're all trying to be.
Forgive me, but I can't be everything you deserve
And I know it's too late to crawl back to you tonight
But there's a few things that I just need you to know
Like the way I felt when we were close
And how the stars explode every time you are near
But all along you were there
Waiting like you said you always would
Yeah, you said you always would
I am so far, I couldn't see
But you made every day so sweet
All along you were there
Waiting by my side
Yeah, you love me even though I don't deserve it
You love me even though I don't deserve it
you can't become a reader, its just in you.
i read because if i dont, i feel incomplete.
whenyou have more novels in your locker at the end of the year than anything else; when you cant leave the house without a book in one hand; when there's guarenteed to be a book in the car
thats when you're a reader
when you fall in love with every character. when someone names a title and you can tell them the plot line.
when you volunteer to read outloud in class because you cant stand to hear other people who dont know the words read.
when someone says "thats a good movie" you can tell them what it missed out of the book.
when you go to see harry potter the day it comes out when you're 16, not for the usual reasons, but to see what they cut out from the book
when you cry because you lost a whole bunch of books in the basement flood, not because they cost a lot, but because of the tear stains on the page, the peanut butter smears on the crucial pages that you couldnt put down.
being a reader is locking yourself in a room for 14 hours to finish a 900 page book when you're 12.
being a reader is the tattered papers, corners folded down, book bridges battered and tearing.
when there's more bookshelves in your house than there are people.
you can't become a reader, it's just in you.
I'm pretty excited to see Uneeb act like Ophelia next week though.
Our skit thing rocks.
Timmies after school was interesting, to say the least.
The guys are insane.
Movies later.
Should be fun.
Minh's sick.
Feel better baby <3
and i abandoned said friend for like 4 years.
and now i am friends with said friend again.
and people have a problem with it.
explain this to me, please.
the end for now.
worked with someone else today.
i didnt sit with you today.
i'm moving away for real, and it started today.
i refuse to waste my time with people who don't care.
i refuse to waste away another year of my life.
another month.
another week.
another day.
another minute.
i refuse to waste my time with you.
i wasted so much time, and im done.
it's high school.
why did i hold on so long?
no more shadows anymore.
i dont need you.
you dont need me.
the end
