I feel like at the base of every human being is a tortured, wretched soul: my grandfather - incapacitated by disease, my grandmother - trapped in a loveless marriage, my father - constantly occupied by tasks that don't fulfill him.
I don't know. The people in my family who I don't feel that for are the ones I don't know well, or else seem to focus on themselves.
Is the answer to my happiness in chasing my dreams without abandon? Taking risks, and never looking back? Having no regrets? Does that coincide with only thinking of myself and not looking out for others? Is it right to please myself and not look out for the world's future? I don't think it is. But then again, that part of me I get from my dad.
I don't want to end up miserable like my dad. Well, my dad's not miserable. I just think at the core he's not happy.
Aren't I a sweetheart?
Maybe it's that time of the month again.

Tired of these trials
tired of waiting for your call
(okay I'll admit it was really a text, but that's almost too pathetic)
but admit it, I shall.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
#1 So I'm wicked asian.
#2 This whole doubling up in science thing was a BAD IDEA. I know so little about either.
Let's talk about sex, baby.

I Want To Be The Best At Everything, And I'm Not So I Hate Myself
How stupid is that?
(Not stupid.)
It's my desire, my life's aspiration to be these things, and every day, even the good days, even the uneventful ones, I'm never completely content because I know I'm not the best. I know I'm not actually good at soccer. I know my grades aren't at the minimum that I want. I know that I feel screwed over by every aspect of life. But I also know that it's all actually my fault. So I hate myself for not being the best. I know that's stupid. I know if I really wanted it I'd achieve it.
But it doesn't stop me from hating what I've become, who I have to change myself into if I want to be happy. I want to be happy by reaching my dreams. But I can't. So I have to change my dreams. Well fuck.

No New News Means El Still Hates Herself
Ugh. There's just mo part of myself that I agree with. And today my mom offered to set up an appointment with a psychologist or psychiatrist, and I had always thought that would be interesting, but I chickened out. I backed out of it, and now have no appointment, and am as confused about myself as ever. (But I'm a teenager, anything less would be unfair to the other teenagers.)
The point is I'm not doing anything I say I'm going to to. And I can't love this person who's not what I want to be. I need something's help but I don't know who or what or how, and I don't know what to do with myself.
Basically, I don't want to do anything, and I keep talking about how tired I am, but I don't think it's any worse than usual. I'm pretty sure that now that I'm sick I'm just able to pretend or admit to myself that I am tired. And it sucks cause I'm doing less now than ever. Man, I can't believe I even said that cause I can't believe it's even possible.
I dare anyone to do as little as I do every day. I really do. You'd probably be bored, haha. (Well I guess that's not really funny, but maybe a little.)
Anyway, I've run out of things to say and wish I had something creative to write...
CrEaTiVe CReaTIve ME.
I SaT uP IN a TREe.
But seriously.
What the fuck.
(I want this hurly-burly to be done.)

I Love When You
Take off your clothes, and show me all your sickly yellowed skin.
I don't love your black bruises, your loose skin,
......but the vulnerability in your actions
......it makes my heart soar.
And as I trace my nail along your sharp hipbone
you shiver and twitch and your hands move to cover your eyes
......all filled with shame of yourself and the world you harbor.
......spilling over, tears sharing your shame with me.
My brutal fascination would be dangerous had you not sworn me to secrecy;
to touching but no telling, to seeing but not helping.
......you know I think these tears are my fault.
......I'm scratching at your flaws and kissing your strengths,
but I'm completely covered, and my face is made up to be pale.
You can see none of my rolls, my blemishes, my bitterness,
......the irrational vileness and hate in my soul,
......you aren't treated like my equal. So why do you love me like my better?

It's Official
Or something.
I am more pathetic than most of America.
Fuck.
Maybe I'll tell you about it sometime. For now self loathing will do me some good.
Good night, all.
Up yours Mrs. @#$%. Just kidding.

And You Know
by the swing of her hair,
and the tilt of her head
that she's not looking at your face.
She's staring down the floor,
asking it for more,
like it knows how to give and give
to the content of the lovers and brothers.
And you know,
like any reasonable sad sack,
that she will get no response
from wooden panels and tear worn flannels
strewn about that dusty floor.
But still she pleads and feeds her
addiction. She lies, calling it an
affliction, but she takes it by the hand and
commands it to consume her.
And you know
it's all she could ever ask for,
that you be the one, to degrade her little
thoughts into little particles of matter,
the one to toss her to the wind.
You fit in her walking away
and sorry-to-say lyrics.
The perfect match burying
hatchets in each other's backs.
and the tilt of her head
that she's not looking at your face.

asking it for more,

So Manchester Wins This Post (And I Fail At Having Something Worthwhile To Say)
However, I hope you enjoy the lyrics enough to distract you... If you do look up the song let me know what you think when the chorus/crowd comes in cause I think I prefer it without it... but it would be a completely different song. Anyway here goes:
Her heart beats fast
out of sheer pain inside.
Her face is left bruised,
just from speaking her mind.
She keeps the lights low,
cuz the neighbors all know,
there's a husband next door,
who's creating a widow.
His first name is Russel
and his best friend's the bottle.
He's a middle class man
with a hate for his father,
and her name is Marcy,
and she's such a darling;
she wears her black eyes
instead of fine jewelry,
but she still loves him.
La-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da-Di-Da (x2)
A little girl stands on the outskirts of town,
she makes beautiful noise,
but sticks to her frown.
There's nothing around here
that's worth fighting for.
She drinks till she's quiet
and falls to the floor.
She's sorry she stands there
and regrets her birth.
She's eager for love,
but lacking of worth,
the skies scream, "I hate you",
and the clouds bleed of shame.
She sits there for hours,
playing the same song again,
and no one listens.

I love my hair.
People notice me and I look sexy. (Okay maybe not sexy but I really do love that if it was anyone else they could pull of dancing with it really well. Haha. Oh admissions...)
She's like a sunburn. - Third Eye Blind
I want to update later... not sure if I'll have time but I'm actually well managed at this point!
"You said you saw it coming but you didn't see nothing,
your eyes are on the living room your eyes are on the closet,
don't worry about, don't worry about anything.
A pity invitation to an awkward house,
for pseudo-boy who would rather wear a blouse,
I sincerely saw your skin for the very first time.
My curly hair and a voting booth,
confessedly, this is the first time I've loved you,
and God I mean, God I mean it, I hope that I mean it.
'Cause like dying young, idols got the best of me,
well don't stop calling, you're the reason I love losing sleep,
and the building collapse, we'll shop one for something.
I'll stick it at our skin, pierced for something."
- Manchester Orchestra
