Oh, retrospect;      'tis a curse we can't prevent.                              « «
Image and video hosting by TinyPic I am not an interesting person in any way. I am just a simple yet complicated sixteen-year-old kid, born in New York City and raised in Chicago, trying to find his place in this world. I'm also the soppiest person you'll ever know. Not kidding. If I fall in love with you, you're incredibly unlucky.

m not new to Witty - I was a member in 2009-2010 but I left due to personal issues, and now I'm back on a new account. Fresh start, you know?

Watch me document my wasted youth.

Reading, the smell of books, rain, music, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, snuggies, cats, tattoos, piercings, Alaska Young, fall and winter,  Harry Potter, guitars, pianos, tea, chocolate, photography, stars, The Big Bang Theory, cities, nature, Friends (yes, the TV show), concerts, Doctor Who, movies, Sherlock, all the little things in life.



Just to clear things up -
I only follow people who's quotes I really like; if you ask me to follow back, I won't

YouthInRetrospect's Favorite Quotes


“A free bird leaps on the back of the wind
and floats downstream till the current ends
and dips his wing in the orange suns rays and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks down his narrow cage
can seldom see through his bars of rage
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.

The free bird thinks of another breeze
and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees
and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn and he names the sky his own.

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing.

The caged bird sings with a fearful trill
of things unknown but longed for still
and his tune is heard on the distant hill
for the caged bird sings of freedom.” 
― Maya AngelouI Know Why the Caged Bird Sings





Heart's on fire tonight,
feel my bones ignite.











 
you think it's easy being a kid nowadays? you think this generation has it all figured out? well think again my friend. we have to defend pop punk, save rock and roll, we can't even set foot in a disco without panicking. being a kid now is harder than ever.

if there's any reason i don't like sarcasm,
it'd be when it offends someone undeserving
paining others does not make you badàss or
interesting or special, stop being a rude lil shît
you look dumb and i would enjoy injuring you
I get that 90% of the quotes on this website aren't original and that's not really going to change.
But really, if you steal someone's text post from tumblr and try to pass it off as something that actually happened to you, stop. Go away. Don't do that. Most people saw it on tumblr first and they know it's not yours so don't go tagging it with things to convince people it's yours like "truestory" or "iwishiwasjoking" 
For most people who post original quotes it's annoying that people who steal 100% of what they post get the most attention, but that's not the part that bugs me personally, the part that bugs me are the people who do that and then try to come of as some original, creative, witty person when you're just a con. If you give credit, even if it's just in the tags, to where you originally got the quote from I don't mind at all that it's not yours. But trying to make yourself seem better than you are is really pathetic. Try to come up with something of your own, even if it's just one single quote.

everybody wants a reason for everything;
it's so much easier with someone or something  
                                                                                                    to blame.
You want to be the hero;
you want to swoop in and
save me from myself.

You think you’re a saint,
loving someone some with
so many scars on their skin;
so many scars on their heart.

You want to be the savior,
saving the damned from
their own mind.

You want someone to look
at you and go on about
how you’re so brave for
ever loving someone like me;
someone so tragically broken;
someone so fücked up.

To you, I’m nothing
more than a project.

Something for you to fix,
and say: look what I did!

To that, I must say this:
fück you, I’m going to be
my own hero.

Apparently I'm a "troll" because I have an opinion that's different from someone else's.. And she said "I don't recall asking for your opinion", when her quote WAS asking for everyone else's opinions..... Okay then.

I truly wish that there were more wittians like him. He is so nice, open-minded, and overall just spectacular. I love his quotes and I'm sure you will to. If you haven't yet, go pay his profile a visit.


   

It's terrible that people
actually hate themselves
because they aren't
a certain weight,
or don't have certain grades,
or don't have this or that,
and will physically cut themselves
open.
People are terrified of being
judged
because they don't look like the
person on the cover of
the magazine.
So maybe if we showed people
that it was okay to be who they
are,
insted of saying,
"Don't be afraid of being you!
As long as you're confident, it
doesn't matter!"
Then maybe there will
be less people
with slashes on their wrist
and notes saying,
"I'm sorry I wasn't good enough."
