If you’re still free, start running away.

i just wanna be “well-adjusted”. but i’ve never been & probably never will be.

I don’t know why i think New York is so wonderful….it’s just a bunch of drab colored buildings smushed together in an overpopulated, overcrowded city. It’s filled with so much dust and smog that they say if you move there you should prepare to get sick. There are rude people all around, homeless people on every corner, and people on every street who’s only concern is whether or not you believe their knock-off handbags are the real deal just so they can cheat you out of 20 dollars. Even with all of that, there’s something about the city that is just so attractive. There is no other city with so much going on at once. There’s always something to do, always something to see, and always somewhere to be. It is, quite literally, “The City that Never Sleeps”. I remember the magical noise of the city in the early hours of the morning the last time I was there, a few years ago. I found it fascinating that the bustling 2 am streets seemed even busier than a Hampton Roads highway during rush hour. The sound of the city alone was enough to make me want to go back, just to hear it again. The only way to describe it is… life. From our 9th floor hotel room, the faint sound of all the people and cars down below was like a whisper saying “you’re alive”. And suddenly, I was alive. I was part of the city, and the people, and all that was going on down below me. It epitomized life. It’s so easy to forget that we are in control of our own lives, and that how we are living now does not define us. It’s so easy to forget that there is so much more out there than what most people are aware of. But that noise will make us remember. I hope it can make me remember.

i hate family guy

i’m feeling the urge to be creative…

Stop thinking about writing a song, and start writing. Songs will not just come to you and say, “Hey, I’m a good song. Write me!”. You have to listen to your surroundings. It’s the song you’ll hear inside your head, so you start singing it. Find the missing words you need for the song inside of you.
