I was born to make mistakes, not to fake perfection.

OOC

Hey, so i don’t usually do ooc posts but something’s up with my Tumblr. Sorry to everyone who might have got a Follow notification from Jacob. For some reason almost everyone has disappeared from my list like i’ve never followed you. I tried Following everyone again and it still doesn’t work. I’ll figure it out eventually but for now i can’t see most of you on the Dash so i figured i would let you know. Hope everyone is having a good day.

You’re by yourself and you took a swimsuit? You didn’t plan on any skinny dipping? Yaaaaaaawn. Well, I hope you still enjoy yourself. Glad you were able to get out of the city.

What’s there to do by yourself in a cabin in the night in the middle of nowhere? I swear, this is a setup. Is this a setup? It feels like a setup.

There’s people at the beach dude, the cabin is away from other cabins but there’s people at the beach. I sure am enjoying myself, i’m having a great time dude, i love it out here.

Let’s just pretend it is not a setup because now i’m curious to know what you’re thinking about. Or more like i know what you’re thinking about and want to know if i’m right.

I want to say I envy you right now, but mostly because of the location. I went to the mountains not long ago with Matt and it was a blast, especially after the hell we went through back home. I’d recommend lock your door the right way, and maybe read a book? That usually does the trick for me when I’m sleepless. It’s weird, isn’t it? The quiet around you should help you sleep and not the other way around, but I guess that’s what happens when you’ve lived in the big city long enough.

Sounds nice man, i’m sure you had a great time too. I know i’m loving it out here. I guess if you stay in the city long enough, you forget to appreciate the rest of the world outside. I sure am locking my door. There’s a few other people renting cabins out here and i’m not gonna be making friends with them. I’ve brought a few books with me and there’s always Netflix i guess. It is weird, isn’t it? You’d think i’d sleep like a baby and yet i miss the noice as much as i like the silence, you know?

I am who I am, and I’m not ashamed about that.

Not yet, no. I started some online language courses over the pandemic, but while she’s sat in on a few lessons, none of them seem to have stuck, and while her english repertoire is continuing to expand, that has been no new favourite in sight. 

And you shouldn’t be!

I’m sure there’ll be a new one soon! You got me curious and i asked my dad. Apparently my favorite thing for a long while was bye-bye. I’d say it with no reason.

Why ya'all sleeping on my bud? He needs a snack to cuddle with so get with it ya'all.

Matt! Dude! Making me sound like i’m desperate or something. I’m fine on my own. I’m loving it so much out here i might not come back.

Alright it’s been a while. How’s everyone doing? I’m currently away from the city, enjoying the weekend, just me, my dog, my cat and my swimsuit in a cabin by the lake upstate. Now that i’m thinking about it, that sounds like the intro of a very bad horror movie and i die in the end. Worth it though. I haven’t left New York in a while, it’s so damn quiet out here. I’ve been swimming and eating fruits all day.

The nights are a bit of trouble. I’m not used to sleeping early. I’m usually out working till morning and it’s becoming a problem out here. There isn’t much to do. Any suggestions? What’s there to do by yourself in a cabin at night in the middle of nowhere?

Ryder bit on his lip as his eyes focused on sorting the books out, “Wow, this looks pretty dope.” He told Jacob proudly; they were doing a great job. He nodded slowly as his friend talked about New York; it seemed like it would take him some time to get to know the city better, “Awesome. I’d love to see some of your pictures. I may not know a lot about that stuff, but it’s always cool to explore someone’s work.” Ryder admitted with a small shrug, “I will! I have such a big list of things I need to watch. It’s like…neverending.” The brunette chuckled, placing the last red book on the shelf, smiling to himself. Their bookshelf was starting to look pretty amazing.

“Right? Dude we’re good at this.” Jacob laughed as he went through the box. He smiled at Ryder’s request and shrugged a bit “I’ve been getting a few requests lately to start blogging again, post my pictures for people to see. I don’t know, i’m thinking about it.” he admitted, as he wasn’t sure yet. “But hey i can show you either way, man.” he chuckled “Oh ain’t that the truth. I just add more stuff every time i go to watch something.” he said before laughing and following Ryder, place a red book on the shelf.

At that age, my favourite words were Barbra, Solo, and Spotlight in that order. 

Either way, I may want to work a little more on expanding her vocabulary.

That does sound like you Rach, i must be honest.

How is that going? Any new favorite words?

I don’t plan on leaving now that I’m here, that’s for sure. I like it a lot despite how gritty it can be on the subway from work to home, ha. 

Ah the subway. It does have its charm, though, doesn’t it? Maybe it doesn’t. I wouldn’t know, i just drive everywhere.

Text: Dude, it's Elliott. Sorry about the radio silence, I was called away on tour and have been going NON stop!

Text: Hi Elliott. Sure, don’t worry about it. Hope you enjoyed your tour.

Moriah has decided that her new favourite game is saying no then running away giggling. I don’t know whether I should be more worried or amused by this turn of events.

Aww! How adorable! I don’t think you should be worried, it’s just her new favorite word and it sounds so cute.

I honestly don’t know why I didn’t move to New York straight out of high school- this is the only place that can keep up with me and my displaced anger. Shouting at locals who shout back, shouting at tourists who cower- it’s all very cathartic and kind of beautiful, really. 

Someone gets it. That’s what i did. Came to New York after high school and never left. You can scream, you can shout, you can go crazy, no one cares here. In fact they might even join you.

“Absolutely. I’d like that. I was too lazy in college to cook, but now that I live with Marls, it’s always nice to prepare something for both of us.” Ryder admitted it was quite unbelievable how things had changed. He chewed on his lips as he focused on organizing the book; they were almost done with blue and were planning on working on the red ones next. Ryder shuffled a little closer to the boxes and started sorting his belongings, “Fair enough.” He grinned as Jacob admitted liking waffles more, “It’s exactly how I feel. Maybe I won’t be surprised every single day in a year or so.” He joked, his hands working pretty effortlessly on placing the books on the shelves, “I’ll check it out, man, duh. If you say it’s accurate, then I believe you!”

“It sounds very nice, man.” Jacob said with a smile as he sat with him, looking through the books, picking up the last blue ones and putting them one the side, to put on the shelf “I’m still surprised some times. I take pictures every time i see something and think, ‘damn this place is amazing’, you know?” he admitted before chuckling “I hope you like it then, let me know if you end up watching it!” he grinned.
