Wahoo Quotes

Do you feel like you belong somewhere? Do you know where your home is? Do you recognise the soil where your roots have taken hold? Is it what you wanted? ...
 

Yeah, so it's not the life I dreamed of. It's not exactly how I thought it was gonna be. But is it ever? Does anyone get that? This is what I've got to work with, and I'm gonna make it work for me. There's a reason they call it the movie-reel life versus your real one.


 

amazing, isn't it?
how people change.






 

But you know, I am grateful. I have good friends -- few, far between, far far away, but they look after me and they look out for me all the same. I love waking up to your 'good mornings'. I love talking about the mango trees in your back garden. I love the pictures of your beautiful daughter, and the complaining when the baby falls asleep in your arms. I love talking about the weather, about how hot it is there and how it's raining here. I love it when you ask after me and you want to make sure I'm okay and if we go even a week without speaking you get worried. I love that you're a part of my schedule -- I love that I'm in the habit of checking my skype and twitter the moment I wake up. There's lots to be sorry for and lots to resent, and of course these friendships come with their own problems, their own pains. But I'm grateful I get to call you my best friends. & I really love you.


 

I'm really sleepy, but I have some thoughts to share before I go to bed.

1. I think I'm lonely because I go too fast and look in the wrong place at the wrong time. And because I'm scared of letting people close in case we don't click like we thought we would (like we think we do). 

2. I want a pet lizard, but if I get a pet cat as well, will my lizard be safe? I love reptiles. I want a gecko. And a snake. Lots of snakes.

3. I found a word for the squeezing throat and burning corners: touch-starved.

4. I have very, very few friends. And maybe none left in this country.

5. For a very long time, years, I have been the one who writes the heartbreaking stories. When my friends want angst, they come to me. Today, I learned about myself that perhaps I can finally close that chapter. I want more happy stories in my life.

6. I have known some cruel facts for a long time: telling the truths about me = dissowned. And I have long resigned myself (re: tried, failed, struggled) to the idea that I'd never live a full life for it. I am not -- cannot be, not me, not who I am now -- selfish enough to throw away my family for that. But I'm tryhing to look at it in a gentler light. I'm trying to treat myself like I would something I loved, rather than something heavy I have been forced to carry.

7. Nobody really talks to me. Not really. Or at least, very few people; not many people reach out to me. I think they care, but I don't think they care that much. Not enough that it matters how I'm doing if I'm not right in front of them... I would like to change that, somehow.

8. I want my gender to not matter to me.

Okay. Goodnight. xo






 





but i don't care if it's cheesy or cliché
i was 12 and knew next to nothing about
how life worked, and i wanted to be happy.
i was 13 and angry and stilll new nothing,
and then 14 and angrier still and i'd seen
a little more and still didn't get it, and
you know what? i wanted to be happy.
i was 15 and i thought i should be happy
forever; i still didn't know that much.
and i was 16, and 17, and 18, and i saw,
and i learned, and i craved, and i scarred.
and i'm 19 now and i know that happy isn't
something you are
-- it's something you go
through, it's something you live in bursts,
just like everything else 'life' has to throw
at you. but i am 19, and i burst into tears
too much, and i'm lonely, and i have a lot of
hurts i don't know how to carry without
burning my own fingers, and you know
what? i still want to be happy. yes, i cringe
about embarrassing phases in the past, and
i did things when i was young i would never
do now. but i'm still that kid who, after the dust
had settled, would take the rocks and pain if,
at the end, they got to be happy for part of it.

i am 19 and i know now that life isn't easy, not for
anyone. but i know what my lot in life is, and what
it doesn't always have to be.
and i still love to smile at the sky.


so tell me. who's the one who didn't grow up?
if i have to be immature to want to enjoy the
hours i've been given, let that be. i am content
with that.



i think i grew up all right. i think i did just fine.
