A very wise man once told me, drama is like gatorade, it replenishes electrolytes. I like to avoid drama at every corner. Keep things to myself if I can, the good, the bad and the in between. Now I'm not saying don't share the wonderful things you experience with other people, but more keep it too a minimum. This way nothing can be over analyzed in a way you wouldn't of thought of. Or inputs that could maybe destroy the feeling you get when you think back to a fond memory. The past year as been something short of a roller coaster.  I have grown and experienced so much in the 12 months that I wouldn't trade for the world. The people I have met and grown with are more special to me then they know. Sometimes you aren't sure how to deal with a situation or person. Like your friend disapproving of something your doing, or giving your hearts desire a kiss goodnight. Do you? Do you not? Somewhere, underneath all the layers, underneath the issues and the wha...

Diary, the top drawer The one your mother wished she'd never seen I just wanted to be love she said Its something that I never had He and I had something beautiful But so dysfunctional, it couldn't last I loved him so but i let him go 'Cause I knew he'd never love me back

The invitation

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing. It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive. It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain. I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it. I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, remember the limitations of being human. It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can ...

So I've recently learned that Turkish Oil Wrestling is a legit sport, not only a legit sport, but the NATIONAL sport of Turkey So the basics of the sport is first: get greased up with Olive Oil.. You need lots of oil.. This man may or may not be oiled enough This man looks suitably oiled Grab a Friend Join a team And then start wrestling Yep Wrestling The goal is to get a hold of your opponents Kisbet, or specially made pants Seriously, the most effective way is to shove your arm down another mans pants Its actual wrestling, see? Good Lord It just ends like this Or this Sometimes Winning looks like this And Somtimes it looks like this Yay! You won! But wrestlers don't hold grudges. Opponents can still be friends So Thank you Turisk Oil Wrestling, for existing! Buzzfeed.com

I feel like with tomorrow being Valentines Day, that a lot of people are thinking being single is the worst thing ever.( its really not ). It's much better to be single then being cheated on, lied to an disrespected. And for anyone thinking that nobody loves them on Valentine's Day, don't worry the hallmark holiday of love doesn't change the fact that they probably don't love you on any other day either. Stay positive the ones who love you won't just show it on Valentine's day, but every other day of year the as well. I would rather be single than; - Taylor Swift - Manti Teo - Catfished - To be related to Chris Brown - To have Tourettes, but only being able to yell really happy things at people you just don't care for. - To be part of a real final destination situation - To be Lindsay Lohans nostrils. So. Much. Cocaine.. - To be Britney Spears in 2007 So there are just a few reasons why it is better to be single, and the next time you see som...

That gun is loaded but its not in my hand, the fire's burning but its not me who holds the matches.. Here I go. thinking, analyzing, trying to understand the human race and all its imminent forces. Its official, I start my journey in just a few short months and while saving my pennies, all I that is left is to decide where I start. My ESL will be finished so while traveling I plan to start teaching English whether it be volunteer or as a job is up in the air right now, knowing me - I'll probably do both. There's so many places I want to go though its hard to narrow it down. I can do South America or Thailand and Indonesia for a few months, travelling alone will be kind of scary and all the more exciting. In the mean time, I stay here in a snowy city that even in the dustiest corners is filled with love. I can't see that I've got red hands. Where my heart once was is no longer here. I've seen it all before, back out and everything's changing, so what are...

These are not wild, outrageous things, there simple things, life evolving, character building things I feel I will regret when Im 80, sitting in my rocking chair over looking the vast ocean, writing my memoires.

Step foot on at least 5 continents. 2.) Sky Dive 3.) Scuba Dive 4.) Have my art displayed in public 5.) Crash a wedding 6.) Have my own wedding 7.) See a Manchester United Game 8.)
