I vow to help you love life, to always hold you with tenderness, and to have the patience that love demands. To speak when words are needed, and to share the silence when they’re not. To agree to disagree on red velvet cake, and to live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home.
My theory is about moments, moments of impact. My theory is that these moments of impact, these flashes of high intensity that completely turn our lives upside down actually end up defining who we are. The thing is each one of us is the sum total of every moment that we’ve ever experienced with all the people we’ve ever known.

just found this quote on facebook. i’m writing a ten page paper on berger’s theory of intimate relationships right now and there isn’t a quote that could be more fitting. this is exactly where i’m at in my paper, i might just incorporate this. 

last day of exams for sophomore year tomorrow. leggo.

i let someone down today. someone i didn’t want to let down, someone i never want to leave down. it was mentioned just in passing, no more than a line in conversation, but he meant it a lot. i called him as we were headed into the movie theater, just to let him know i wouldn’t be able to talk to him at the time we normally do. service was bad and i couldn’t hear what he was saying very well. i couldn’t tell what he was saying, but i could tell there was definitely emotion. it wasn’t until after the phone call i read his text message to me that i realized what he wanted. then, it wasn’t until i got home and went on tumblr to really find out.

goddamn me. 

to make things worse, i realized i haven’t been actively checking his blog for updates like he does for mine. he doesn’t post as much, but that’s no justification. and i didn’t actually realize this, it was more something i got called out on. goddamn me.

what makes me feel like shit right now are these two things, on top of the fact that i wanted to go home as soon as i could so i could talk to him. so he could be there for me. when i haven’t reciprocated one bit. selfish.

My philosophy is that if you’re not attractive you shouldn’t do annoying things.
