Hi.

I'm Kathleen.

I've kissed 16 boys.

dated 3.5

said 'I love you' to 1.

truly loved 1 i never actually called my boyfriend.

was heavily involved with 3,
though i never called them my boyfriend either.

1 cheated.

2 broke my heart into a million pieces.

1 was nothing but a liar.




dust myself off & try again?
i'll be honest.
i don't know if i even feel like it.

and then I remember...

"Someday. Someone is going to walk into your life and make you realize why it never worked out with anyone else."

Lying?

"Tell me the truth, Frank.
Remember that? We used to live by it.
And you know what's so good about the truth?
Everyone knows what it is,
no matter how long
they've lived without it
.
No one forgets the truth, Frank.
They just get
better at lying."

- April Wheeler , Revolutionary Road

Note to Self: Commit this to Memory.

Desiderata - "Desired Things"

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.
As far as possible without surrender
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even the dull and the ignorant;
for they too have their story.


Avoid loud and aggressive persons,
they are vexations to the spirit.
If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.
Exercise caution in your business affairs;
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals;
and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself.
Especially, do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love;
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.
Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe,
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.

And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.


Therefore be at peace with God,
and whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life, keep peace with your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.

appalled.

So i just saw someone leave a POINTLESS comment on their ex's blog that said -

" "Wait and be patient. It takes lots of time for good things to come?" Sooo... like five or so months? Dang that is a whole lot of time for sure.
Congrats though for sure. Glad to see you finally found the only thing that will ever make you happy."


i can't believe it. And I can't handle this anymore.


I AM SO SICK OF PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTANDING HOW FRAGILE HUMANITY IS.

WHY IS EVERYONE SO MEAN?

WHY DO YOU ONLY DO WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD, ONLY TO LEAVE THOSE OF US IN YOUR PAST TO CRY OURSELVES TO SLEEP?

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DATE HER AND ACT LIKE ITS NOT KILLING ME?

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO HAVE AN OPINION ON WHO SHE DATES?

WHY CAN'T YOU GROW UP?

WHY DID YOU HAVE TO CHEAT ON MY GODMOTHER FOR TWO YEARS?

WHY CAN'T YOU LET HER BE SO SHE CAN GET PAST YOU?

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO MEAN TO HER, JUST BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T AGREE WITH YOU ON ONE LITTLE THING?

WHY DOES IS SEEM LOVE NEVER LASTS ANYMORE? I can think of 3 couples i personally know that have filed for divorce in the last 3 months.

i can't take it.
I can't keep from crying.
When will we learn?
When will good people stop hurting?

WHY CAN'T YOU JUST BE A GOOD TRUSTWORTHY PERSON WHO DOESN'T GO AROUND STOMPING ON ANYONE WHO EVER CARED ABOUT YOU?

IT. IS. NOT. THAT. HARD.
OH. MY. WORD.


this world is so reckless. its hurting me all over.

Unfortunate Coincidence. By Dorothy Parker.

By the time you swear you're his, Shivering and sighing,
And he vows his passion is Infinite, undying-
Lady, make a note of this: One of you is lying.
