I received this message today:
Hey! I was wondering if you could help me out! One of my best friends, Allison, was recently diagnosed with Leukemia. She is 20. It’s been very difficult, but she’s getting through it through music! She’s trying to prove that while cancer can take away her hair, her weight, her social life, and her education, she can still do what she loves the most! She’s so inspirational, and in her I see hope! She’s trying to get her video seen so she can maybe go n Ellen and share her story, and hopefully provide hope and inspiration to people who really need it! If you don’t mind, could you please share this post with your followers? It would absolutely mean the world to her and it would definitely help make her wish come true!
I usually don’t do promotions, but I find this girl so inspirational, and her voice is beautiful. Help spread this around and make Allison famous!
Allison is such a beast. Way to go girl!
when you finish a problem on a test and think the answer’s way too easy so you start overthinking the problem and then you realize something was wrong but you can’t figure out how to fix it so you make some bullcrap reason up in your head that makes it make sense in your head again and now you’re back full circle but more confused then ever
so you give up and turn it in since your bullcrap reasoning makes it make sense to you
when you leave the test room and everyone else gets the same answer you did and is just as confused as you but since everyone got the same answer it must be right, right? so you’re all happy inside cause you think you got the problem right and it really was that simple and the rest of the test went decently well
but then after feeling all happy for a while you check your textbook just to double check
and your textbook literally screams at you, “LOLJK YOU SUCK AT LIFE”
because the thing you thought was wrong that you made a bullcrap reason up for in your head was actually wrong and you actually knew how to fix it, like you really really knew, but the bullcrap reason in your head somehow made you think the way to fix it was wrong
and now it’s so obvious to you that you want to kick yourself in the head multiple times or go like drown yourself
but inner harbor is too far and you’re not that flexible so all you end up doing is punching the air and yelling at your friend, “OMFG WHY DIDN’T I DO THAT” and all he does is yell back the same thing because he made the same mistake too
so now you both just sit and hang your heads in shame and make plans to OTL the teacher because she literally just bitchslapped you and told you why she’s the teacher and why you just suck at life without actually saying so
so you just wasted 15 min typing this out on tumblr when you should’ve been studying for the two midterms you have left
and now it’s going to happen all over again tomorrow since you were procrastinating and not studying
wonderful
I sat there in the dark, staring blankly at the firmly locked door. The sole bare light bulb in the room had just flickered out. All you could hear was the faint scraping of skin on skin as I rubbed my upper arms to keep myself warm. The blinds on the small window high up in the room near the ceiling were pulled tightly shut. It was nearly pitch black except for the slim line of light that peaked out from below the door where it didn’t quite meet the floor. The light spread over the bleached-white floor, slowly dispersing out until it just touched my bare toes as if taunting me with its connection to the outside world.
I dropped my head into my hands, leaning my elbows onto my thighs and closed my eyes. Time seemed to creep by. I could almost hear the maddening tick of a clock in my head.
for my intro to fiction/poetry class
have to read this to my whole class tomorrow trollololol
