and when i see you, i really see you upside-down.

Dorm living & I were never really meant to be, I don't think....I'm an outrageously personal individual sometimes. There are many times when I feel a desperate need to be alone & blare the music that gives me chillbumps & write or read or sing at the top of my lungs for hours on end. Listening to the first 5 words of my roommate's "Souljahboy" ringtone repeatedly, however, does not make that list!

I love, more than anything, finding new sources of inspiration! I have a somewhat-unparalleled infatuation with musicians, it seems. Although I do have some innate musical talent I don't see a career as an artist in the cards; however, I feel that I have the spirit of a musician! Have you ever read something & found yourself considering the author your kindred spirit? I get that a lot. Most recently, Vinnie Fiorello of Less Than Jake has astounded me with his mind of sheer brilliance. Not only does he have a ridiculously marketable resume but he is also one of the most primordially passionate people I've ever met. His blog makes me laugh, cry, contemplate & wish to be a better writer simultaneously. He is, in one word, incredible.

I feel like the worst of people sometimes. Why do I have to be the "heartbreaker" sometimes? This is not a role I asked for....

People seriously bother me when they are fake. What do they think they have to hide? Be yourself. Don't worry about what others think of you. (It's none of your business.) Life is too short to care. Do what you want & what makes you happy...What more can anyone expect of you? Why waste your time on things that make you hurt?
