Burning Down the House

I am here for Dating and Friends

About Me

I burned bridges. Salted the earth. And... placed landmines between me and all the people who were around me. I've done that for most of my life because I haven't respected anyone who would have me as a friend.I am just now starting to understand integrity and respect. I'm working on getting some.My theory of integrity is that it has to do with making your outsides match your insides. I've never done that. You've mostly only seen brittle Lauren shells.Frankly, Fuck that Noise.Be my friend. I need one, and I won't lie to you or fundamentally disrespect you this time.

My Blog

A dilemma.

I must go back to School. This part is not a dilemma. My dilemma is this: I'm too arrogant to get a degree from mtsu. It's too easy to not give a shit and make the dean's list there. My dilemma is th...
