It’s easy to look at people and make quick judgments about them, their present and their past, but you’d be amazed at the pain and tears a single smile hides. What a person shows to the world is only one tiny facet of the iceberg hidden from sight. And more often than not, it’s lined with cracks and scars that go all the way to the foundation of their soul. – Sherrilyn Kenyon (via kari-shma)

This is the most difficult and important thing to accept if you wish to be a grownup: You are not a special snowflake.

Well,…

Somebody posted this on my wall today.

Best birthday post ever.

I thought I might be able to sleep tonight. I can’t stop thinking, crying, regretting, remembering, wishing.

Wishing, wishing, wishing that this wasn’t true. Wishing I could just go to her house and she’d be sitting on the couch like she always was. Wishing that she was still here. I wish I knew what happens after we die, if anything. I wish I knew if she was okay where ever she is, if anywhere. I know it sounds ridiculous.

I weep for every single thing that is given away, not because I don’t get them, but because of the fact that they have to be given away. I wish we could keep renting out her apartment and leave all of her belongings, everything she treasured, where it belongs. I keep hoping that maybe she’ll come back.
