I like the dark and highways and bringing along the best best friend a kid could ask for.
I like English and grammar and nouns and verbs, but mostly, I like conjunctions and conjunctional punctuation. ;;;;&&&&.
I like it when I am instantly free of fear.
All of my tattoos are about books.
Charm. Chivalry. Respect.
I tell people they're beautiful and I mean it. I don't take words lightly. I have never told someone I loved them and not meant it.
I take photos and I make music. I used to draw things. I sleep a lot.
A good man once taught me everything I wanted to know and then some. He's still my hero.
I have not given up on you.
I work. I work some more. I'm going places. I'm a winner; I win things.
I write stuff. Want to read it? Let me know.
I like to wear socks.
I gave that one girl too many chances.
I remember things in small details. I will remember things that you've forgotten about, and hold on to them long after they've lost any trace of relevancy.
I like the color brown and the shape of hands.
I don't like to argue, anymore.
I still believe that there is someone out there who gets it, someone out there who will love my silence just as much as my words, someone out there who will never say negative things to me, someone out there who does not make me feel afraid, someone who cannot help but make me happy. She'll have the best laugh ever.
I don't like it when people talk to fill the silence.
I love smile lines and imperfect features and soft hands and ears to whisper in to.
I still believe that good things happen to good people.
I still believe you get what you deserve.
I'm a spitting image of my father. I think this used to scare him. I hope someday he learns to let it make him proud.
People who don't freeze me are rare. When I get nervous or thrown into a panic, I rub the fingers of my right hand together. I call this my cricket chirp. It is not endearing.
I am bigger than my body.
I am in motion.
I think holding hands is better than sex, anyday.
I think that growing up begins with accepting the fact that you, alone, are responsible for who you turn out to be. Stop blaming your parents or your environment or your friends or the world. You've done what you've done and the least you can do is own up to it. Mistakes or not, stand up for it. Be proud or learn from it. Grow.
I am constantly changing and evolving, but at the core, I am still the same kid you've always known.
I would still like to bring you flowers.
You're all the reason the dust I leave behind will be better than the dust I came from.
I'm adorable.
I smile at strangers. I help old ladies across the street. I hold the door and pull out chairs for ladies. I ask people how their day is going.
I want you to always feel like you are able to talk to me. I love you all, even when I am heartless.
I am still a fool for nice people.
At the heart of it all, I'm a good kid.
I have a head on my shoulders and a heart in my chest.
I believe we all deserve to love and be loved.
