YOU.

make me feel completely out of my element

& i dont know why.

all my life i’ve encountered few that make

me feel this way, today marked #4.



maybe in a few years, looking back this will

all make some sort of sense,

but until then, I draw blanks.

what is LOVE?

Heart shaped waffles&greek yogurt+blueberries? Not quite….

But to me, it’s quite simple:

2 parts to it,

but each can stand independent of the other…

which is where things can often times get problematic.

LOVE is an:

1. ability   &/or   2. feeling

You can love someone without being in love (with them)

yet you can also be in love with someone yet not genuinely love them,

&of course you can love someone and be in love with them…

(Society tells us the latter of the three is the ideal, and I’d

argue, for the most part neglects to acknowledge any other

model of ‘love’ when it comes to relationships of whatnot)

&where do I stand in all this? You may get an idea, vaguely,

but I`ll stop here because. ( :

happy 2011. let the rambling begin.

my thoughts:

1. If we’re all alone, at the very least we’re all in that together.

Bittersweet truth of life.

2. There comes a point in everything where too much of something becomes unhealthy, bad, destructive, etc.

technology has reached that tipping point the past decade or so, i’d argue.

I strongly dislike, disapprove, etc. And yes while i am using technology to document my thoughts, I do keep track of my thoughts the old fashioned way in greater detail: paper and notebook.

LIFE;

found a quote book for a project from years ago…

i wrote:

“Everyone has a talent, some just never discover theirs.”
-> explanation: not being pessimistic or anything, but i really believe that. some just never step outside of what they’re comfortable with and fail to discover what amazing things they are capable of sadly.

“Friends are there along the way, but in the end, 
everything is in your hands.”
-> explanation: there are people by your side along the journey of life but decisions all boil down to individual choice, so make your decisions and stick by them and don’t blame/rely on people around you. be responsible; the power is in your hands so take control and own up.


and i`ll end on a lighter note:

“Always push yourself to keep going, and you will be amazed.”
-> prettyy self explanatory.

there’s a snippet of my mind at 14. enjoy, haha.

more thoughts later possibly…

: )

bruised and scarred.

if these cuts turn to scars,

they will just be more imperfections

that forever carry a story,

and Im okay with that. <3

ps: for those confused…

this is not referencing any sort of self injury. 

I dont believe in that.

more writing by alli.

♪… wouldnt it be nice
if we could delete the fact
that too often one thing or another
seems to remind us of someone else
we would rather not have to think about?

wouldnt it be nice
if we didnt live in a twisted world
where so much deceit is normalized,
to be told the honest truth all the time
and not have to always doubt… ♫

snippet. of a piece of many other pieces. <3

UNINTELLIGENCE….

People who are unintelligent really shouldnt try

to engage in any sort of debate. Especially when they

have the choice to post (or not post) something

online in a public space. When people do so without

thoroughly thinking about what they post, and I

unfortunately come across their faulty as heck logic

/reasoning (or lacking thereof).

Its so irritating because not only do they sound like a

dumbass, they actually think what they said has validity.

Which shows how completely oblivious and ignorant they

are. The part that really frustrates me is not that one person

does this…. so manyyy people do, which shows just how

logical and intelligent people are, we live in a world where

we know a lot more about the world around us than centuries

ago, how is it I feel like people are still so effing unintelligent?

PS: Thank goodness for those that do use logic/reason, because

if it werent for those people in the world I would likely have moved

to a deserted island and lived with animals in a tropical forest.

SUPER PS: I am by no means saying I’m super intelligent at all.

But I actually think before I say/post things against what another

individual says. & careful precise word choice is key.  I wont get

into all the technical aspects of argumentation/debate. But yeah.

That is all.  ( :
