Courage is confused with picking up arms and cowardice is confused with laying them down.

Quote reblogged from Quote Book: with 3,824 notes
There is a universal truth we all have to face, whether we want to or not, everything eventually ends. As much as I’ve looked forward to this day, I’ve always disliked endings. Last day of summer, the final chapter of a great book, parting ways with a close friend. But endings are inevitable. Leaves fall. You close the book. You say goodbye. Today is one of those days for us. Today we say goodbye to everything that was familiar, everything that was comfortable. We’re moving on. But just because we’re leaving, and that hurts, there’s some people who are so much a part of us, they’ll be with us no matter what. They are our solid ground. Our North Star. And the small clear voices in our hearts that will be with us, always.

I’m for abortion. If you can’t love your kid, don’t have it because it will grow up and kill us.

Why is it, do you think, children are always too young to hear the truth, but never too young to be lied to—systematically, conscientiously, in the name of Education?

Sometimes I really just hate change. My aunt is moving out of my house, and my mom will probably put it up for sale some time in the relatively near future. She might leave my town completely, or downsize to an apartment, which makes sense because it will just be her and my brother most of the time. But that means I will have to go through all of my stuff, and I will have to find a place to put it all. I really won’t have anything more than a couch to crash on when I want to come home, and there would be no option of coming home after I graduate next year (not that I want to do that, but it’s an unfortunate possibility). Of course, I am fairly lucky in that I could always go to virginia. But that would really just be…odd. I would never say bad, I love my dad and it would be interesting spending more time at the farm. But I have never lived with my dad for more than a couple months, and it has never actually felt like home, as lame as that sounds. Also, there are few places I dislike more than Virginia Beach. It is uniquely pretty much everything I hate. It is a super suburban developed area, which I hate. If there is a chain store or restaurant, Virginia Beach has it. It is obviously near a beach, which I also hate. There is nothing historical or cultural about it. As the biggest city in Virginia, you would think it would be a little more interesting, but its just weirdly not. But anyway, it’s just weird to think about the fact that I will be graduating in a year, and even if I don’t get a job or get into a Grad School, things are going to change completely. That’s my only option. I won’t even have the option of coming home, and that is ridiculously scary.
trying to decide what my top three choices for Teach for America will be so I don’t have to deal with it when I am busy later in the summer. I can’t make decisions.
