“When you don’t fit in, you become superhuman. You can feel everyone else’s eyes on you, stuck like Velcro. You can hear a whisper about you from a mile away. You can disappear, even when it looks like you’re still standing right there. You can scream, and nobody hears a sound. You become the mutant who fell into the vat of acid, the Joker who can’t remove his mask, the bionic man who’s missing all his limbs and none of his heart. You are the thing that used to be normal, but that was so long ago, you can’t even remember what it was like.”

this writer put into words exactly what I was thinking about that show. As much as I love Bruno, Janelle will forever be the best live show I’ve seen.
“Look at you. You’re young. And you’re scared. Why are you so scared? Stop being paralyzed. Stop swallowing your words. Stop caring what other people think. Wear what you want. Say what you want. Listen to the music you want to listen to. Play it loud as fuck and dance to it. Go out for a drive at midnight and forget that you have school the next day. Stop waiting for Friday. Live now. Do it now. Take risks. Tell secrets. This life is yours. When are you going to realize that you can do whatever you want?”

“When you are tempted to get discouraged, remind yourself that according to God’s word, your future is getting brighter; you are on your way to a new level of glory. You may think you’ve got a long way to go, but you need to look back at how far you’ve already come. You may not be everything you want to be but at least you can thank God that you’re not what you used to be.”

expectation:
reality:
‘omg please don’t kill me please don’t kill me!!!’
Being nice to someone you dislike doesn't mean you're fake, it means you're mature enough to not start childish fights and drama.

“Friends. A simple word isn’t it? It’s uttered everyday to almost every person imaginable. Who are your friends? I used to think that friends were the people that you could laugh and talk to. Now I know that friends aren’t that, they’re the people that touch your hearts. You could spend hours with them doing nothing at all and it can be the best time of your life, just because it was with them. They’re the people you can share your secrets with, cry with, laugh with, and just have fun with. They don’t judge you or make you change. They accept you exactly as you are. They look at you and they see a great person, one they love spending time with. You all share something in common and are tied together by memories, tears, laughs, and smiles. You’re tied together by love for the other. Friendship is the strangest but greatest thin in the world. I find my time with my friends, the best times of my life. My friends are my heart, my soul, my fun, my laughter, tears, love and my life.”

Deal with a struggle or conflict in the same way you would learn a new dance.
Someone must lead, and someone must follow. Which of the dancers will you be, Moonchild? That’s not as hard to figure out as it might seem. You need to find the resolution to a problem. The other party involved has a certain amount of knowledge and expertise, as do you. Which of you, though, has more? Which of you is better equipped to lead? And which of you has the desire? Figure that out, and you will resolve the conflict with amazing results.

Me and my best friend♥
When we see a hot guy, or when we talk about our crush:
When we know/understand something that others don’t:
When we watch a scary film together:
When we agree on something:
When we laugh over stupid things:
When we talk about personal/secret stuff:
When we need each other:
“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.”

So, it's Saturday night.
A normal person would be out clubbing, getting their groove on:
Instead, I am on skype with my best friend. I don’t normally go out. Yes, I’m 21. No, I don’t party hard. We’re having a blast right now, sooo guess what!
Ima spend my Saturday night skyping it up with Marcey! Toodles!
<3
“Other bands, it’s about sex. Or pain. Or some fantasy. But The Beatles, they knew what they were doing. You know the reason The Beatles made it so big? ‘I Wanna Hold Your Hand.’ First single. Fucking brilliant. Perhaps the most fucking brilliant song ever written. Because they nailed it. That’s what everyone wants. Not 24-7 hot wet sex. Not a marriage that lasts a hundred years. Not a Porsche or a blowjob or a million-dollar crib. No. They wanna hold your hand. They have such a feeling that they can’t hide. Every single successful love story has those unbearable and unbearably exciting moments of hand-holding.”

Follow Up of the Day: YouTube personality Will Norton, who was ejected from his Hummer during Sunday’s Joplin Tornado, was found dead.
His aunt confirmed the news last night; a news conference is scheduled for later.
According to reports, the 18-year-old was on his way home with his father Mark after receiving his high school diploma, when the tornado touched down in Joplin. They were a short distance from their house when the twister caught up with the car, causing it to flip it over. Mark remains hospitalized.
The Joplin Tornado death toll now stands at 139, bringing the total number of tornado-related deaths in 2011 to 520.
[kctv5.]
this is seriously so sad. 520 people already dead from the freak tornados this year. crazy.
why is it that in "our" culture, we frown upon a NICE young man that refuses to smoke,drink,or be promiscuous? why do we make them feel like what they are doing is a bad thing? why should they have to put up a tough guy front when they really want to praise the Lord? why do their pants have to be so low on their bodies to fit it? what ever happened to chivalry?...you killed it. you wonder why so many girls feel as if all the good ones are taken, they're hidden behind society's view of a "man". why are they ridiculed for not cursing or partaking in unGodly activities? WAKE UP, DON'T PUSH THEM AWAY
…OMGGGGGOOSHH YESSSSSS!!!!
One of my friends told me about how her younger brother opened a door for a girl or something and she wasn’t offended because she was a strong independent woman or anything
I’m obviously not a fan of ridic feminists, but she said that he was like…not really a man or something stupid. Like, that he was a pushover? I was VERY FRUSTRATED with young women of this generation. Gah.(KC, did I get it right? >.>)
I’d much rather a guy who willingly opens the door for me; even at a Christian university there aren’t many.
