Bad people aren’t all that bad

Someone I met today.My friend went into the tattoo parlour to get her first tattoo today. I went with her. While waiting, a man, who worked there, started talking to me. I always like having conversations with people I don’t know, and who I will probably never see again. I always think people have a story, and, like any story, you can learn from it. But I didn’t think I was the one to learn a lot from a guy with a body suit of tattoos…I was raised conservative.

Why I don’t always say I love you

Those. Three. Words.Saying I Love You should mean something. I hope I never see the day when it becomes such a cliché that it means nothing. That is why I only use those three words in that order when I feel it should be said. I have had one girlfriend who I loved, but I can count the times I have said “I Love You” to her on one hand. When I see my friends and I am about to go, or they are about to go, they will often say “Bye!

I Will Probably Commit Suicide.

I don’t want to, but I will.When I was 14 (I’m 19 now) I battled a major depression for about 8 months. It creeped on me until one day I snapped at my dad — something I never did, as I was lying on the couch not doing anything. He took me to the hospital, where I spent about four hours waiting to be checked in the so called “Emergency” room. It was a four hour wait because there was no blood. That was the hardest things I had to do.

Preparing For My Attack

In a field of dandelions, I brace myself. They sing and dance all around me, taunting me. As a young girl terrorizing these poor flowers…was somewhat of a hobby of mine. I remember the brisk Spring mornings when I would leave my house and enter the world headed for school. I would always get distracted by the two or maybe three dandelions that sprouted up in our front yard. My mother would always hiss at me and tell me to leave them alone, but I couldn’t help myself. Most children would see these flowers and would pluck them from the ground, shut their eyes really tight, make a wish, and then blow.
