So I drove all this way to get away from you, but...
There’s something unnervingly sexy about bad boys. Maybe it’s the way they light up their cigarettes, or the way they seem to travel in ravenous wolf packs (of other bad boys), or maybe it’s just the annoying effect of those semi-tight slogan t-shirts they wear that fit in all the right places. I think it’s the way they drink a shot of vodka without flinching, and the way...

You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
I tell everybody I hate you, I say it again and again until I believe it too. Deep inside I know I could never, But I say it anyway, because if I didn’t then I would miss you And I can’t miss you, so I hate you instead, and then I don’t.

unforgettable, unbelievable, unremarkable
17/02/2009 Dear you,
Today I remembered the way your sadness fit you like a well-worn glove, soft and creased in all the places I imagined them to be. I could never understand the logic in your misery, or perhaps there was never any logic all along? Just misery, gallons and gallons of raw, unfiltered misery bleeding from a gash you’ll never have the courage to stem. Today I would’ve brushed your...

terrible, tamarind, take a chance on me
22/06/2010 Dear you,
Today you gave me a look so empty it made the edges of my heart cringe, like a piece of scrap paper set on fire, or a rotting leaf in the dying September sunlight. Sometimes I wish I could gather all my shortcomings into a pretty little box, every poison-tipped failure that etched its way into the lines around your eyes, and with a deep breath of courage I’d have thrown all...

Thought Catalog: How To Become A Smoker →
Go for coffee with a guy you used to sort of know. Get all the awkward small talk out of the way. Feel unsure if you are interested. Take the cigarette he offers you. It’s a first date. Don’t be rude.
Walk with him to the art show. Sip on wine and discuss the art. Discuss whether or not art should be discussed. Agree that neither of you like people who discuss art. Laugh tipsily, bail on the...

If your right hand is causing you pain, cut it off
I remember the first time I met you, you were smiling so wide it looked like it hurt. We drank tequila shots that tasted like fire dripping down our throats - drip, drip, burn. Tequila hurts but people still drink it anyway. We devoured jägerbombs and cherry bombs and I don’t remember ever feeling so sick, but even then I didn’t stop until the edges of your face and the pounding music...

i think i can safely say that this is true for everyone: you never realize how silly, pathetic or desperate you’re being until somebody else does exactly what you’re doing back to you

sanctuary, solidify, somewhere over the rainbow
06/07/2009 Dear you,
Today I’d have told you about jealousy, a feeling I know all too well. I’d have told you about the way it wrings your heart and blackens your mind, staining it with a poison you can never really quite get rid of, no. I’d have told you that jealousy made me hope that he would be unhappy with his choices; that she would be miserable with her decisions; that what I said to him...

why is it so hard for me to understand that you don’t always get what you want?
i guess i heard about original sin.: How To Ruin... →
Stay in one place your whole life. Always order vanilla even though the menu is four pages long. Become the type of person who sends back lattes. Save up your money for a plasma TV instead of a plane ticket. Talk a lot about things you know nothing about. Have an affair with someone you don’t even find attractive.
Refuse to forget your ex. Make it impossible for yourself to do anything without...

Singing in the old bars, swinging with the old...
The days have just seemed to fly by. Ask me where my second semester of university went and I wouldn’t be able to tell you - didn’t I just leave Singapore a few weeks ago? Has it really been two and a half months, already?! I swear somebody up there’s pressed the fast-forward button, and no matter how I try I can’t slow down. In 12 days it will officially be April, and...
