i would give
My left arm to have a phone conversation with my mom right now. I would give anything just to have a normal conversation with her. Its so hard (and i know this sounds so stupid and angsty) but absolutely no one knows how this feels. I just wish I had someone who understood.

The girl who lived.
I know I’m probably annoying everyone with this, BUT I FUCKIN GOT STRUCK BY LIGHTENING AND I SURVIVED. there was about 5 seconds of my life that I will never be able to fully explain to anyone, even remotely. I came face to face with one of the most amazing forces of nature…And I can’t even begin to describe what it looked like or sounded like or felt like… Because it...

It’s days like today where I just wish I could call my mom and vent. And she would tell me it would be ok. And then she would call me the next day to make sure it was. And it makes me so angry how some people take phone calls like that for granted. The day my mom learns to talk on the phone again will be the best day of my life.
and the people said amen.
spend less time worrying what others think and more time loving yourself.
and tell anyone who says differently to fuck off.

Selfish
I don’t want to wake up at 8. And I don’t want to drive to Indy. And I don’t want to help my mom eat her lunch. And I don’t want to have to learn how to move her from her wheel chair to her bed. And I don’t want to hear her struggle with completing a sentence. And I don’t want to teach her how to correctly use pronouns over and over and over again. And I dont...
I hate being secret keeper. One day I’m just going to tweet everything I know and then disappear somewhere peaceful like South Dakota

I live with this constant feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach. I just want it to go away.
As much as you wish you could
You can’t undo actions. I wish my mom had gone to the doctor sooner, but she didnt. I wish I hadnt gotten so drunk, but I did. Our actions, whether irrational or rational, lead to consequences. Things we didnt prepare for, thing that we didnt see coming until it was too late. One of the most important things you can do in life is think before you act. I know that now. I hope my mom does too....
Life
The past month has been the most challenging time of my life. I have encountered decisions I never thought I would have to deal with, seen things that have scared me to my core, and I have lost my sense of direction and my sense of self. It has been a scary, scary world. A sleepless world, a stressful world, a bitter world. I have tried to remain positive but I don’t think it was enough. I...

Day 14- Something You Are Addicted To
I would say facebook, but thats a given. plus i quit it. So buying earrings. I love them. so much. and i always lose them. so i always feel compelled to buy more. its really bad. but the good news is, my ears always look spectacular.
Day 13- Favorite Season and Why
Well, I really enjoy the beginning of every season, when its still new and the change of weather is exciting and everyone loves it. But if I had to pick a favorite, it would be fall. I love when the sun is still warm but the air is chilly, and the wind and the leaves, especially the color of the trees in Indiana in the fall. Its so pretty.

Day 05 - Favorite memory from childhood
My favorite childhood memory would have to be from preschool and kindergarten. My dad would pick me up, and he would take me to broad ripple to feed the ducks on the canal, or downtown. Sometime we would go to the IMA or art galleries, or we would go to random cool places in Indianapolis, different libraries, cool stores, parades, free events. Even at a young age, I think it really influenced me...
