This Is Why You Should Never, Ever Get Your Hopes Up. This Is Why You Should See The Glass As Half Empty.

This is why you should never, ever get your hopes up. This is why you should see the glass as half empty. So when the whole thing spills, you aren’t as devastated.

Emily Giffin, Something Borrowed (via justanothermugglegirl)

Life doesn't care about your vision. You just gotta roll with it.

Corrine Bailey Rae: Til it Happens to You

CBR and I have a date all night tonight.

“I was a fool to believe in you

Cause I don’t know,

I don’t know

anymore.”

Hugs for me

are always awkward and yet I despise the immediate cool, empty feeling that engulfs me when you pull away.

I spill my tears as the blood seeps through my heart and stains my existence with pain and heartache. This sort of agony is unprecedented within the confines of my reality and feels as though I should clean the stains by extinguishing its source completely. I search for signs of opposition against my own suicidal ideals but sadly I cannot bear another day drenched with the knowledge that the pain has yet to reach its climax.

And then for once I open my eyes and see the walking shells around me as much more than just auto-piloted props within my own staged production. They each have their own stories encased within their bodies, stories of tragedy, of loss, of heartache of betrayal. Each tale contains excruciating pain with the likes of which I can never even begin to imagine. No longer does my pain become a superior source of exotic anguish. Instead it is just another drop in the ocean of tears shed by many in this expansive time line of life. Everyone suffers but they also accept it and survive. There is not one person who has endured more than his fellow man or suffered more than the next. Everyone suffers and maybe there is selfish comfort in knowing that within the billions of people on this earth there is someone who parallels your pain with a similar experience who also contains a heart beat signifying their survival through it all.
