I love reading articles that make people write to their younger selves. It shows just how much growth has happened in a person's life throughout the years. And this look back at the 17-year-old Sho is quite an interesting look at how he started his career with Arashi. Plus, I would have to say that I relate a lot to that desire to have someone/ ( Read more... )

"He's just not that into you..." Excuse me while I let my inner Carrie Bradshaw come out. I've been mulling over the idea ever since I re-encountered it in one of the Sex and the City episodes with Jack Berger telling Miranda that her date who hasn't called just wasn't into her.

In the famous quote:

Try looking up Byron Katie's interview with Oprah (I have the link on my Tumblr) and give it a good listen.

I'll let you in on a little secret. I'm a crybaby. I like to think that I don't look like it but I get mixed reactions when I say that. A friend told me that because I'm so "tough" or "headstrong" that it doesn't take much to send me over the edge.

I have to say that I did go over the edge and probably beyond it too this weekend. I felt the cracks ( Read more... )

So... working with words on a daily basis has taken its toll on me. Or basically it's just working in general that has left me feeling like a dried up/uninspired version of myself. I'm just always so tired to even think of myself and how everything is playing out ( Read more... )
