Strange Phenomena of the Mind →
maryamahmed:
Déjà Vu - the experience of being certain that you have experienced or seen a new situation previously – you feel as though the event has already happened or is repeating itself. The experience is usually accompanied by a strong sense of familiarity and a sense of eeriness, strangeness, or weirdness. The “previous” experience is usually attributed to a dream, but sometimes there is...

Things I definitely do not miss:
(Shh, let me cope how I want)
trying really hard to get into the books you’d lend me instead of just giving up and admitting that the only things we had in common in the book, movie, music category was war movies, Elton John and Queen.
constantly worrying about having my cats rub up against me or sitting on a piece of furniture that has recently had a cat on it or keeping my clean clothes...

I’ve kept the tab on this article open because I knew that I didn’t fully “get it” the first time I read it, and I’m trying to absorb more of it every time I read it.
It’s a good article, is what I’m saying.

I got halfway through this book about two years ago before something, I’m still not quite sure what, compelled me to stop. And now I’m compelled to read it again and I know that this isn’t going to be the last time I read it...

On Making Your Bed
Obviously, this break-up has forced me into a period of introspection and striving to “be me” and “do me” (yeah that’s a Drake reference, I’m from Toronto ok) and “love me” and etc. I say “obviously” because I feel like this is a common feeling for single-girls-reading-blogs - every other blog is telling you that you’re single...

The recovery is so slow. Every day gets the tiniest bit easier, but it happens in such small increments that you can’t feel the progress at all. It’s Groundhog Day in your head. You wake up and open your eyes and then remember the weight of your heartache. From that moment forward you wish for that first ten seconds back, where you didn’t remember.
What you don’t realize is that it IS getting...

Inside The Glass House: The Half Welsh Issue
yoisthisracist:
Yo, so, I was thinking, with the amount of judgement I’m putting out on you people, I probably need to get my fucking skeletons out of the closet, and do a little self reflection. From time to time, I’m going to be confessing a racist thing I do myself, just to get that shit off my chest. Of course it’ll be heavily self-censored and in a context that makes me look good, but yo,...

On letting it go.
dearcoketalk:
Do you believe in the saying, “If you love something, let it go. If it comes back to you, its yours forever. If it doesn’t, then it was never meant to be”?
Fuck no. That’s just some simple bullshit people who believe in romantic destiny say when they’re going through the bargaining stage after getting dumped.
Nothing about your love life is “meant to be,” nothing is “yours...
SANCTITUDE
charmingortedious:
I started working out over the summer under the premise I wanted to obtain a leaner, more defined physique. This is true, but there was also an underlying message I never spoke out loud: when the world crumbles, I want to be able to defend myself and my homestead as well as be able to hypothetically defend others I deem as worthy. As someone who can’t even lift 20 pounds with...
Lol
he’s an asshole and I’m a fool.
So I dunno. He doesn’t want to get back together because he’s afraid we’ll fall back into old patterns, even though he’s recognized we’ve both changed.
But at the same time he invited me over to his house and made me chicken soup after I did a 9.5 hour barista shift while sick last weekend so like really, I don’t think we’re exactly apart either.

On prince charming disease.
dearcoketalk:
You’ve got Prince Charming disease. It’s a combination of attention deficit disorder, low grade narcissism, a youthful expectation of romantic perfection, and a healthy dose of self-esteem issues on your part.
I can’t talk you out of this kind of immaturity. You’ve got to battle this one on your own. The good news is that at least you’re self aware. That’s the first step.
Next,...
the ANTI love & relationship list: →
1. i don’t want to let someone get close enough to see my flaws. its better not to let people get close to you. Cuz when you do, they see you when you’re weak and pick you apart.
2. i don’t want to get jealous or feel threatened.
3. I don’t want anyone to get bored with me or take me for granted.
4. i don’t want to have to compromise or do anything I don’t want to do, go somewhere I don’t...

A Master At Falling In (And Out) Of Love
transcendentalism:
You’re open with strangers
yet a stranger with friends
you said that you loved him
but you left him again
Problems don’t change if
relationships end
they hide in the dark
as you try to be friends
Nostalgia holds you back from the
truths you can’t face
some things aren’t meant to be
no matter what the pace
You can’t help everyone you love
they won’t grow if they...

Romance in the 21st century
A double-take now involves less neck-craning, as you are only looking up from your phone, looking back down, and then looking up again to get a better look. You are more interesting than the person I’m texting! What a rarity.
Also, checking someone out long enough that they notice you checking them out… because it’s a city of 3 million people and you’re never gonna see...
