Don't Tell Me What To Do
‘Cause I won’t do it. I hate it when people tell me what to do without any ‘please’ or ‘will you’. I don’t have any issue doing something for someone until they don’t ask me to do it. My mom keeps telling me to go to this restaurant to apply for a job. I was planning on going but as soon as she told me I had to go, I got really annoyed. I’m a...

Disappointed
When I think back to all the people I used to be really close to, I’m kind of shocked to be honest. A lot of them seem to be so different now. Or maybe I’m the one changing. I don’t know. It just bothers me when the people I really used to care about make really stupid choices. I’m not just talking about the normal teenage bad behavior. I mean the little things that add up....
I am obviously too sexy for a Valentine.

Labels
I hate them. They take all the things that you do to create yourself and in one moment change it to seem less unique. Less like an individual and more like a group. Are labels really necessary? Why can’t we just be ourselves? Why does it matter if the things that we like seem to correlate with what some other people like? We don’t need labels for everything in our lives. Sometimes,...

Spaghetti and Waffles
Greatest thing I’ve ever heard:
Girls have spaghetti brains. They think of multiple things at any moment and they can’t think of nothing.
Guys have waffle brains. They compartmentalize. “Right now I’m in my Autumn and Madi brain.” They focus on one thing at a time.
Seriously. I love this. It made so much sense to me.

Censorship
Seriously? Are we honestly going to censor a great novel? It’s a word that reflects the time period in which the book was written. If we censor this novel, then where do we stop? Do we censor all the works of art that have nudity in them? So much energy is spent on trying to ‘protect’ the younger generation from ‘racism’. All we’re really doing is raising a...
How Often?
How often do I just listen to what my friends say without speaking up against it even if i don’t agree with it? I hate how some people talk about others. And yes, I talk about people too. Doesn’t everyone? If you say you don’t, I will call you a liar. What I mean is I can’t believe that people talk about others the way that some of my friends do. It’s ridiculous. It...

Hope
I was thinking about this and I’m probably going to sound like I’m trying way too hard to sound like I’m smart or insightful. But I don’t care (:
No matter how hard people try not to, they will always hope. Maybe they don’t want to hope because they’ve been let down too many times before but somewhere in their subconscious, they’re creating these...

Actions Speak Louder Than Words
Yet, we all want to believe the words that people say to us, even if we know they aren’t true. We want to believe things will be different because someone we care about tells us it will be. We want to believe that the ones we love feel the same way about us. We want to believe the words that friends say to us even if we know that it isn’t true. We care about people so we want to trust...

Leaving-A Cursive Memory
I couldn’t find these lyrics on the internets
So I ended up having to figure them out myself
But seriously, this song is stuck in my head
I love it (:
I’m caught up inside of my own head
Trippin’ over myself
I’ve got problems
And when I try to solve them
My thoughts just make it worse
Take me way away from here, far, far away
I’ll run, run away from here
And find a better...

Children
I’ve never really wanted kids all that much. I mean, maybe eventually I would but I know a lot of my friends have already decided that they want a family. All I want is to be single as long as it makes me happy. Kids are just low on my list of wants. It’d be great to have a family and maybe when I meet someone I want to be with the rest of my life, I will want kids. But right now...

What I've Realized
And tried to continue to remind myself.
People will stay if it’s meant to be. If they leave, then they don’t love you enough and it isn’t worth it to try and make them change their mind. You may love them now, but a year or two from now, they won’t even be a part of your life. The people who love you are the ones who have been there for you and haven’t left you. Look...
Books
I really love to read. I love the feeling of being in that world with the characters and imagining it all and being able to create a world in my image. It’s like being God. I used to write my own short stories but I never really finished one before. I would always get to the point where I didn’t know how to advance the story and then I would think about it and my story seemed pretty...

Have You Ever Considered
The idea that maybe we aren’t unique and we’re all just a mesh of different parts of our parents and friends and random other people we really don’t know? Just an idea. I’ve just been sort of listening to myself talk and a lot of the stuff I say I’ve picked up from friends. I don’t really like it. I don’t want to be influenced that easily. I want to be my...
Wow
When I read about the thoughts of other people, I feel really stupid….
I could never think that deeply about something or write the way they do or explain myself as clearly as they can. I should work on that
