Whitney

A punishment to some, to some a gift, and to many a favor

About Me

Make an island of yourself,
Make yourself your refuge;
There is no other refuge.
Make truth your island,
Make truth your refuge;
There is no other refuge.

Digha Nikaya, 16

Unfortunately Superman has set unreasonable standards for the rest of you to even remotely resemble a hero. Sorry!

High school was fun and all, but its time to move on.

As fun as it was playing these head games with you, I give up. Turns out I'm not much for games, you win.I think you mistake my kindness for vulnerability. It would be a lie to say I don't care. I do,...

It never gets easier

I miss the little things. It's strange to fall asleep alone at night, with no one there by my side. It's been months and it still doesn't feel natural. I don't miss going out to dinner and the movies,...
