I've always been fascinated by Greek mythology ever since I was a simpering, pouty little girl. The powerful gods and other figures transpired so much awe in me, and I often wondered what it would feel like to be in their shoes. I could just imagine being Queen of the Sea ala Poseidon, or heck, even Queen of the Underworld ala Hades. I devoured ( Read more... )

I've had the phrases "Be the bigger person" and "Be the better person" drilled into my very being for as long as I can remember. For years, I've held my tongue and kept my temper and emotions in check when people personally demean me, because I'm apparently better than them... at least that's what I've been told. I've turned my cheek numerous times ( Read more... )

I will never cease to understand why people with authority have this endless need to flaunt their power by uttering demeaning and derogatory statements to people who obviously are not able to retaliate. This attitude is clearly preposterous, but the thing is, nothing can be done about it! Why, you may ask? Simple. They have authority, rank, ( Read more... )

For as long I can remember, my hair hasn't exactly been prone to behaving. The only way to tame it - and for only four to five months at a time - would be to have it rebonded in a salon. Back when I was a high school student, rebonding was incredibly expensive, so I didn't do it that often. However, it has gotten quite cheaper now that perming is ( Read more... )

I'm in that certain point in my life where I can't help but wonder what being rich would be like. Would life be easier? Also, how would it feel to be able to hand over rolls of money so that I would be able to buy whatever I want? Would I be happier? Would I be more content with my life?

It's just plain awful to live with this wonderment pressing ( Read more... )

Sometimes, I can’t help but want to do something drastic - something so drastic that I would have ruined my entire life completely by doing it. When that happens, I would look at everyone who made me feel worthless and increasingly pathetic every single day and say, “Are you finally happy? You completely destroyed me now.”

I can handle demeaning and derogatory statements. I can handle people putting me down.  I can handle people who mess with me on a daily basis. I may feel hurt for a while, but I can handle people's insensitive remarks towards my physical appearance. I can handle people who seem to never agree with what I have to say. I can handle people who never ( Read more... )

It's amazing how quickly I found inspiration on a day I least expected it.

I was a bit blah throughout the weekend. I don't know why, honestly. Everything just felt wrong. Anyway, in an attempt to make myself feel better, I spent hours on Tumblr just reblogging pictures that made me feel all giggly and happy.As I was scrolling through my Tumblr ( Read more... )

I had quite an amazing dream a while ago. It was perfect in every single way... well, other than the fact that some sort of religious cult was taking over the world. But yeah, I can ignore that tiny little detail.  I'm not going to reveal every aspect of this particular dream, because this dream's somehow a bit too personal and close to me. It ( Read more... )

Sometimes, I just want to bang my head against the wall. I'm so unsure of what I'm supposed to be doing in life, and I can't help but feel like I'm simply existing... not living. I keep waiting for aha! moments - where I can fully exhaust myself in something that I actually like doing - but they never come. I feel like I'm sitting still most of the ( Read more... )
