True Words

Dylan Armitage is the bestest




Glass Castle Reflection

In the memoire The Glass Castle, I actually find a few aspect of Jeannette Wall's life kind of appealing. The fact that they move a lot gives them different opportunities to meet different people and to experience different lifestyles. Even though they move for sketchy reasons they always still consider each move a new adventure. I've lived in the same neighborhood my entire life, and quite frankly, I'm getting bored of it. I also think that the amount of freedom that the kids get is pretty cool. I think that it could almost be considered neglect, but i think that it's important to learn how to fend for yourself. My parents aren't over protective, but I have always wished for more freedom and Jeannette and her siblings seem to have that.
I'm not saying that I want her life. It's a little bit too chaotic for me and I don't know if I could go as long as them without food, but I do think that certain aspects of their life allowed them to gain experiences that a sheltered child that has lived in one place for too long, wouldn't get.

FWithoutB

How do you tell someone that you don’t like them as more than a friend? The fact that you’ve pretty much said exactly that dozens of times doesn’t seem to help. It’s frustrating when one of your best guy friends doesn’t just see you as a friend anymore. Movie nights become tense because you’re so worried about them making a move and you can’t just seem to have a casual conversation without the awkward subject of “feelings” coming up. I FEEL like hanging out this weekend, I FEEL like watching The Vow without making out with you. Can we talk about those feelings for a while? I just don’t like you. I know it sounds harsh and I probably seem like a bitch, but you’re one of my best friends and I’d feel way worse if I lost you after pretending to “like” you.
