You told me the world wasn't ending.

And sure, I concede that, but -some- people's are. You have faith in the system. I do too. But I can't put my whole faith in a system which allowed this to happen in the first place, even if it does allow for it to be fixed. 

What is the price of being called a terrorist?

Sometimes I wonder what, or who, changed you.

Acceptance

Isn't it interesting how contentment and resignation are both tied together by a common feeling of acceptance?

I have never before been so happy to get a C.

Life is a funny little thing with a funny sense of humor.

Ideals Over Realities

Do you ever get the feeling that ideals are better than realities? Not in the, duh that's why they're ideal, way but in the sense that even if you achieved the ideal you had in mind, you wouldn't really enjoy it? Not because of something you hadn't forseen really, but because of a pure incompatibility. 

Maybe it's not always that we want what we can't have, but just that we no longer want it when we have it. That is, we never really wanted it, just the idea of it.

Snippets

Every once in a while 
I think back to that conversation we had 
And wish 
I had paid a little more attention 
Maybe saved it 
Because now the words we said 
Fade into time
And nothing seems clear anymore 
I remember I was happy 
And I remember feeling blessed 

But 

There's a reason it's gone 
Isn't there?

Do you really miss these? Do you miss me?

The tattoos I want: 2. We'll see if I even get one.

Contentment

Are there things I would change about my life given the chance? Sure. Are there things I wish I had done differently? Yes. Are there people I wish I still talked to? Of course. 

Am I stressed about a whole assortment of things? Undoubtedly. 

But I’m happy with my life, where I am, with the people in it. I am.

I Remember...

You told me I'd get sick of you before you got sick of me. So why don't we talk anymore?

Was I right? Or did you think I got sick of you?

Momentum

Isn't it interesting how
Momentum
Takes us so far,
So far from where we start
Isn't it interesting how
Once we get that push
We can keep rolling towards
Infinity
Keep moving forward
Keep telling ourselves
This is worth it
This is meant to be
This is why we're here
This is what I want
Isn't it interesting how
Momentum
Keeps us going
When maybe we just
Want to stop
Isn't it interesting how
Momentum
Brought us here,
Took us so far,
So far from
Where we want to be

On a side note, I figured out how to use the Momentum Chrome extension backgrounds as my desktop background, which is super awesome because these backgrounds are legit and make me happy.

I'm backkkk

It's good to be back in lab, even if I am super unaccustomed to it, and don't know where anything is, and perpetually tired...
