I wish I could have a small apartment in an Italian city with a balcony that had many plants where I would sit and drink coffee and wine and paint my favorite things that I’d seen or felt and i would have artistic talent and no money problems and I would be at peace

“Traveling is like flirting with life. It’s like saying, ‘I would stay and love you, but I have to go; this is my station.’”

Is it okay to do the selfish thing? I know the right thing to do, and I know that I should. But this is a once in a lifetime experience, don’t I have the right to be a little selfish? Irish Catholic guilt is a very real thing. But I couldn’t help but wonder, where is the line? I hope it works out for her, and I hope she finds something that works for her. I keep justifying this decision, she wouldn’t have fun with us anyways. I hate this feeling.

Do you know that I've never gotten high? It's one of the things that surprise people when they meet me. I don't care if other people do, a lot of my friend smoke. I just never have. I think in part its because it's illegal, but also because I'm very stubborn and promised myself I wouldn't do drugs. So far I've kept that promise and I kinda feel like if I give up on it now I would be letting my past self down. I know, I'm very dramatic.

One of my favorite days at college was so casual. I went to class, I enjoyed it. The weather was gorgeous. Starbucks was having a buy one get one free deal and one of my friends and I went. We sat outside and talked for hours. I helped her write an email, we talked about traveling, about our families and more. After that I left to go play football on the field with two more friends. We passed the ball around until it started to get dark. I pet so many dogs. I was so happy that day. They were simple kinds of pleasure, but they all added up to a near perfect day.

I don't fall in love in a romantic sort of way easily, but I do fall in love platonically with my friends. All of them. I care so much and love so hard and I get hurt over and over again by my friends. But they're friends so you move on, you get past it. As hard as it is to end an unhealthy romantic relationship, it can be so much harder to end an unhealthy friendship. And it can hurt so much more when someone ends a friendship with you. I don't know why my friends aren't acting like friends right now. I do know that it hurts so bad, especially since I need them. They are my support system, my family, my lifeline and yet... it sure doesn't feel that way right now,

Not to be dramatic but my parents won't let me bring a car back to school and I think my life is over
