There is sadness in inevitable consistency and inescapability. It happens everyday, and there is no force able to overcome it. We understand it would happen eventually, yet we still feel loneliness.
Human happiness and human satisfaction must ultimately come from within oneself. It is wrong to expect some final satisfaction to come from money or from a computer.

Life is difficult for everyone. We all have stress and we all need someone in our lives that we can lean on. Never think that you cannot talk to someone because they have problems to or that your friend or loved one would be better off without you or your problems. You’ll soon find out that they need you just as much as you need them.

When your friends make plans that involve money
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THE GIF KILLED ME!
My life right now. /wrists everywhere
This reminded me of a quote from Amelie. Di ko lang sya maalala ngayon.
Battle scars.
:’) I’d gladly help you with that armor, little buddy. Aal iz well.
The light bulb symbolizes our thoughts and how over-thinking can “kill” us.
It would just be a matter of time before I die, then.
BLOODY BRILLIANT, DAD. NOW I’M NOT SURE IF I WANTED TO BE BORN.
Well, I guess we all should start thinking how to answer this question. Not only to our children, but to other people’s children. :))
You will be criticized, rejected, ignored, and driven to hell before you get your break. You can’t let that discourage you, because the moment you give up, someone else will take your place.
You have to learn from and love the hardship. There’s no other way :)

I answered this one on my other Tumblr—which btw is already gathering dust in a corner somewhere in the Tumblr-verse—way back in April. Answered it again
to put off schoolworkjust to see how much things have changed during the past 9 months. :))
:)) Well, well, well. More things to get done, apparently.
Do nothing, gain followers. Gee.
@miseryhascompany: >:D< HOMIE~
@horoscopes4horses, @n10ukk1t5: Thanks for following!
Expect intermittent dashboard traffic, thanks.
Updates of varying importance:
1) I’ve gotten back to drinking coffee. My current concoction- 1T instant coffee, 2T creamer/some amount of milk, 3T sugar + 1T vanilla + some time in the fridge = Mhmmm…
2) Getting back to a relatively (aka never gonna give up on sleeping late) healthier lifestyle. 6.6 km of walking and Sundays in the gym ought to do it.
3) I think I’m almost halfway through the Pride and Prejudice and Zombies e-book my most beloved buddy sent me. <3 All that love. All that gore. Currently waiting for updates for Quinntessential, an original BL write-up at fictionpress.com and Angel’s Prayer, a Hunter x Hunter fanfiction at fanfiction.net.
4) Started on Level E- very, very promising (and I’m not even starting on the peppering of BL implications, baby! ;D ). Quite disappointed with how Starry★Sky’s turning out, though. :/ Makes me want to rewatch Yosuga no Sora. Now THAT put simulated endings to good use. Can’t find time to load Star Driver, Togainu no Chi and Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt. :’(
5) Swamped with work, but feeling very much fulfilled.
6) Ate at I Heart Froyo today. @miseryhascompany, it’s more easy on the budget so I highly recommend we hang out here some time! :D
7) FINALLY have my own I ♥ Lesbian & Gay RIGHTS sticker from Psych195!!! WOOT! Turned mine into a heart-shaped addition for my headband and a relatively safer badge. Getting a lot of encouraging, verbal comments. :)
