I feel so powerless. The only thing I can do is cry. I can’t even pray… it doesn’t feel right to pray to a something that would allow this violence. We are all complicit to this genocide. We have allowed this.

“If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor.”

I feel like we’re at a point where the proletariat no longer has power. Maybe we never did have power. And maybe I won’t feel like that tomorrow. But today seeing the devastation of Palestine. Waking up to seeing their wailing. Today I feel powerless.

Is anyone listening?

I haven’t written anything in such a long time but I honestly need somewhere to just let all my thoughts out. Incoherent as they may be.

Today I started thinking about how I feel like no one listens anymore. How I feel unheard. I feel like no one wants to listen to someone’s story anymore.

I’m not talking about a dialogue, I’m talking about someone wanting to share a piece of themselves, wanting to share in something, a story, anecdote, something they recently learned and the person “listening” will automatically start thinking of how that relates to them and interrupts or waits for the moment the other takes a breath to talk about their story/anecdote.

Because this happens to me 90% of the time, especially at home, I’ve learned to just let go of what I wanted to say and opt to let the other person say whatever they want to say. Sometimes they’ll come back with “oh yeah you were saying” and I’ll just say divert to some other trivial topic or thing with an “oh yeah...look at this thing” or “isn’t the weather nice?” because I no longer have a desire to share or feel as though I’ll be interrupted again.

I’ve started to feel all of those stories, opinions, anecdotes, things i’ve learned start to pile up inside me to the point where I want to cry because NO ONE LISTENS/HEARS ME. I feel like I have no one to confide in, no one to listen to me. I guess that’s why some people journal, right? Because we all need an outlet and people are not good listener...or are just plain shitty.

It’s weird I’ve always had this luck where people want to just tell me their life story and some times tell me things that should not be confided in someone that you just met (like this time a woman told me she wanted to leave her husband and I had just met her but we were working side by side at this factory job I had so I ended up just listening to her whole story) and I try my best to listen, pay attention, ensure they know they’re being heard even if not understood. I’m not going to say that I’m not guilty of interrupting people or that i’m a better listener than others. I’m just ranting about how I feel.

Life is not a Rom-Com

‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:26 PM] Luna:

all jokes aside i think him and i /would/ be good together but idek what that means really

and idk that he sees the same thing that i see

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:28 PM] "J":

if that is the case, then you should really take a look at it from afar

put your scared feelings away and really think if you actually feel super romantic love feelings for him

because with him, that is what you are asking for

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:29 PM] Luna:

I honestly don't know how to do that haha

and idk what i want with him...

i think it's a crush that went on for too long

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:29 PM] "J":

haha you're trying to search for what you actually want with him

i get it, it can be hard because it's been so long since you've had a bf

but honestly crushes are so elementary

and they just become obsessive things. and then when things get real, you're actually not interested

and that is actually the worst because then you really did just eff your friend over

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:31 PM] Luna:

exactly so in order to not mess anything up

i just stay quiet~

since IDEK what i want...

it's a win~ no one gets hurt!

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:31 PM] "J":

do you actually like him enough to tell him one day, any day, maybe even on your deathbed day. or do you actually not like him?

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:32 PM] Luna:

he wouldn't be good for me

it wouldn't work...

everyone thinks it's a really bad idea

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:32 PM] "J":

why are you saying this now?

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:33 PM] Luna:

because it's the truth

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:33 PM] "J":

who is everyone?

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:33 PM] Luna:

friends around me

say that he doesn't see me that way and that i need to let it go

i'm gonna be honest...idk what i'm saying right now

because the answer is somewhere deep within me

and it's refusing to come out

I've been hurt a lot by falling for the wrong guy

so my heart is closed off to telling me the real answer

i think i was heading towards revealing something but my heart/mind stopped me

it's stuck in my throat

it's gonna stay there for a while

i know the answer...i just can't say it

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:40 PM] "J":

haha you're just typing it

better now than never

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:41 PM] Luna:

lol deep down i'm a helpless romantic so i think both you and i know what my heart thinks is the answer

whether that's real or a fantasy i can't tell

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:41 PM] "J":

no, i don't, actually.

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:41 PM] Luna:

which is why it's better to just keep it a secret from him

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:42 PM] "J":

what secret??

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:42 PM] Luna:

the fact that i really like him

and i've been trying to fight it basically ever since i met him

ever since he told me he wasn't interested in me

because i took that for what it was...which is how i should take it

because if a guy /actually/ wants to be with you he will tell you he does and won't hide it from you

and won't treat you like a friend.

and thinking otherwise is not listening to all the signs that point at the fact that he doesn't really see you that way

and like the movie says "he's just not that into you"

because real life isn't like a rom-com where he'll wake up suddenly missing me, wanting to be with me

because in real life he'll probably never wake up to realize that maybe we would have been good together

or maybe not...but we never gave each other the chance

[‎11/‎25/‎2015 2:46 PM] "J":

... that sounded exactly like a commentary excerpt.. from a romcom. like that opening line of a really great romcom movie

Soulmate?

I don’t really think I’m going to meet that one person who I’ll really like and want to be with “forever”. I probably already met him and was too busy sabotaging my own life by “falling in love” with guys I knew were unattainable. I also probably did this due to an inexplicable (unconscious/unknown to me) issue that I have with relationships/falling in love. Though I may have reached a point where I’m ok with that… I guess I’ll be Tita and take care of my mom forever since I’m the youngest daughter anyway haha

We Broke Up

It’s really sad when you get to a point where it is necessary to draw a line between before and after on a friendship.

I’ve considered myself to be a good friend and to have tried my best at being there for the people I care about. Though I’m definitely not perfect; my devotion has been such that now, that I’m at the “after” stage, I’ve realized I made poor choices and gave more of myself than I should have.

I pride myself in being someone that doesn’t like to start or be part of drama, although I do enjoy watching it (not gonna lie~). Now that I’m older I realize there are certain people that I really need to cut out of my life because it is exhausting to have them in it and just...not worth it.

Two people in particular come to mind; one of them I cut out of my life a few years ago and, although it hurt, it was for the best. In order to end my obsession, which I had confused with love, and to be able to move on and not burden this person any more. Also because, in the grand scheme of things, he was kind of a shitty friend. Don’t get me wrong he was amazing to hang out with, great personality, creative and positive. He was there for me at the beginning of our friendship but when things took a hard turn for me it was really hard to keep the friendship going and I started realizing that he used people/was opportunistic, petty and dishonest. I don’t know if he has realized himself that he was that way (or still might be) and since I’m no longer a friend it isn’t my job to know or care any more. Sadly I’ve recently realized that his sister is kind of the same way and although I would like to think that we had a friendship in which I could talk to her about this I now know we don’t.

It’s been hard to maintain our friendship; although at the beginning we tried. Life has taken us in different directions and I do wish her the best but I also wish our friendship had grown to a place where I would feel comfortable letting her know the things that I think have ruined our friendship. I’m not going to pretend that I’ve been the best friend ever and that there aren’t things that I needed/still need to work on.

One of those things that I recently discovered and my friends laughed at me for /just/ realizing is that I’m a flake! (I only realized it because I watched FRIENDS and totally identified with Phoebe haha). I told my best friends and they laughed at me and said “well duh! that’s why we always put you as a maybe”. Since I now know about this I’ve been trying to make it to anything they invite me to~ As of now I’m 3 for 3 on the events.

Anyway I feel like our friendship began deteriorating because, like with her brother, it is proximity that drives their friendships and their ability to utilize whatever their “friends” can offer. Since I’m flaky and wouldn’t really show up to catch up or wouldn’t follow through on some events we started to drift apart but I thought we were still good friends. I began realizing that I was no longer in the “inner circle” when her boyfriend proposed to her and I wasn’t there to witness it (which I totally understand 1. I’m not close with him 2. Her brother would be there). However I still thought we were good friends since we would talk about her plans for the wedding and I had offered my support and help when it came to doing manual labor (aka creating decorations) for it.

I must confess I was dreading the idea to be asked to be a bridesmaid because as much as I like her I’m sure she’s going to be a bridezilla (everyone of my friends is expecting the same thing so I know I’m not totally wrong in thinking it). I was very relieved when I found out, through Facebook, she had picked them and I wasn’t part of them. I even texted to congratulate her on picking a date and was met with a very cold response. I realized she must have thought I was trying to get invited when I prodded further and received the “it’s going to be a small event” response. To be honest I was very offended and the Latina in me wanted to respond with “Bitch I was just congratulating you I’m not asking for a damn invitation. Shit!” but I kept it together and just let it go. I figured she was stressed and I had originally not thought I’d be invited since her brother and I are not in speaking in terms. I had expected though that since we were close friends we’d talk about it and not in an awkward way but I saw the conversation going something like

Her: “I’m sure you understand why you’re not invited. Family is family and I don’t want any awkwardness or drama to taint my day”

Me: “No worries, I figured that’s how it would go down because I would have done the same thing”

The end. Nothing more needed to be said we could have moved on and kept on drinking our coffee or having dinner or whatever. That conversation never happened and instead we haven’t talked in months. Actually that’s a lie; we talked about a week ago and that conversation is the one that made me decide to cut her out of my life.

It went down like this I’m a HUGE fan of a KPOP band called BIG BANG and they’re going to have their U.S. concerts in October. I made plans with a few friends to go to Las Vegas and 3 of us are going to go to the concert while the others go to Cirque du Soleil. Anyway I had a very tough decision to make; I could buy the VIP tickets that were $600+ and be by myself in the front or I could buy regular tickets and sit with my other two friends enjoying the experience together (it’d be our first BB concert ever) so I decided to buy the regular ones to be with my friends. I posted on FB that the VIP tickets were really expensive and a few people commented thinking that I wasn’t going to attend at all, one of them, was her. I mentioned that I would be going but only bought the regular tickets and to this she proceeded to private message me, keep in mind she hasn’t talked to me in months and was not very forthcoming when I texted to congratulate her, to let me know that her and her siblings bought the VIP tickets. I was infuriated because it is so her and so petty of her to do something like that. My friends would describe that as cunty and the friends that I told were actually not surprised that she’d do something like that.

I actually cried to one of them, who I respect a lot, not because of what she said but the action of sending me a message to rub in my face that she got better tickets than me. I didn’t understand and I still don’t understand what I did to her that was so wrong that she would attack me in that way; because I feel attacked. And that same friend asked me what I was going to do about it, she said I should stop complaining and cut her out of my life if that’s how I felt. So I’m taking her advise and cutting this person out of my life, my friend also recommended I write a break up letter describing how I felt and the reasons for the “break up” and that I didn’t have to share it with this person but that it would help me get it all out and so that’s what I’m doing.

I’m writing this letter to let her know that I felt attacked and hurt and that I don’t need that. I don’t need to feel that way. I’m an adult and I choose to not have such people in my life. People that only want to use me, would talk behind my back, would try to come between me and my very best friend (that’s another story I recently found out luckily my best friend/sister knows me better than that), and would attack me in something that she knows I love.

So goodbye I wish you and your family the very best and I hope you’re able to continue with other friendships in a genuine way. I hope I was the anomaly and not the norm in your friendships. I still care about you and your siblings. You guys will always have a place in my heart because, although I’ve been hurt, it was not all bad with you. In fact, some of the best memories I have of college are with you all so thank you for that but now our time is done.

lighttoseanmoon

Doesn’t it say “I promise to LOVE you”? -head scratch-

Un-

Been reflecting on my love life or rather lack thereof and began thinking of my childhood a lot and I guess my subconscious caught up with it because I had a pretty bizarre dream where the kid who I had a crush on for THE longest time when I was younger...actually went out with me.

Now, to some people, this might not be a big deal but to me it meant EVERYTHING because I have felt unpretty, unwanted, undesired, unloved, and unreciprocated forever!

My friends have a theory that I like to “fall” for people that I know can’t love me back because deep down I have a fear of....something... I don’t really know what I supposedly (or realistically) am afraid of.

Anyway, really I just wanted to share what a dream can do...the power of our mind. I woke up happy, loved, and ready to fall in love again. I don’t know what will happen or who I will meet but hopefully this feeling stays with me for a long time.

Naomi puts racist Russian model Kiara’s ass on blast!

lighttoseanmoon

Am I the only one that understood that Kiara was talking about herself? What I understood (also from the subtitles) was that she said anyone who ISN'T "black, color or not American" wouldn't win.... meaning she was talking about herself and that maybe someone is biased in favor of black/color/American girls. I don't watch this show...IDEK what the show is but, from the clip, it looks like her comments were taken out of context.

“If a clock could count down to the moment you meet your soul mate, would you want to know?”

lol yes, so then i can shave.

livingmywayeveryday

Has anyone written a book about this yet? I think it’d be interesting!!!!!!

ionlyblogturtles

One minute, 37 seconds. My legs are shaking. Holy cow, there is no way I can do this. None. One minute, 29 secods. I glance around at the faces surrounding the room. Of course my Meeting would take place in the gross, overcrowded cafeteria. One minute, six seconds. Somewhere within these four walls, someone has the exact same countdown on their wrist. They’re going through the exact same pressure as me. 54 seconds. Mom said I should be excited, not nervous. Yet I still find myself wiping my sweaty palms on my dress. I can’t believe she talked me into wearing a dress. I mean, shouldn’t my Soul Mate meet me as I normally am? All plain jeans, blah shirts, and wild brown curls? 30 seconds. Something deep within me tells me to stand up. I do, drawing the attention of my tablemates. They all know too. They smile encouragingly up at me. I chew my lip nervously. 25 seconds. That same feeling pulls me towards the center of the room. My stomach drops away from me as I take a step in that direction. 20 seconds. I continue in that direction. With each step the tempo of my heart picks up. 19. Faster. 18. Quicker. 17. More rapid. 16. It’s racing. Oh my god this is it. The moment my life changes forever. My eyes search frantically around the cafeteria, searching for someone who looks as nervous as me. For someone who’s heading towards their future with no sense of direction like me. 10 seconds. The feeling directs me slightly to the left. I turn to accomodate. 5. My heart has given up entirely. 4. I stop walking. 3. Just waiting left. 2. Everything is about to change. 1. Deep breath.

0000 d 00 h 00 m 00 s

Someone bumps my shoulder. I twirl around and my gray eyes meet blue, blue ones. “Hello there, love. It appears as though we’re Soul Mates then, eh?” As my words fail me, the only thing I can think is “I’m so glad I shaved this morning.”

(I’d like to play what would happen in the ultimate plot twist)

“Thats weird…” I checked my wrist, the clock had just hit the 30 second mark but I looked around and there was no one there. I was a worrisome guy overall but I felt justified, I mean today was the day I was meeting my soul mate. Not that I expected my dream girl to be in the storage closet at work but still I was nervous.

Walking out with a box the boss had requested I walked back to my cash register setting it on the shelf. My wrist hit the 20 second mark

19 seconds

18 seconds

Where was she? I could not help but get worried that an error would pop up or that she was gone and my timer would run out with no response. I panicked, I’d change my own fate if I had to. Running out of time I hurried through the back door. There was a park outside and maybe I was supposed to be there to find my soul mate.

10 seconds

9 seconds

A faint ding of the doorbell hit my ear. Wait was that it?? She was here! I turned around running back to the counter. “Don’t worry I’m just in the back!”

I ran out looking at my wrist as it hit zero. Out of breath “Hi I’m Matt!” Sticking out my hand for a handshake it was met by a firm hand. Meeting my soulmate’s eyes for the first time they spoke.

“I’m Steven.” The man gave a smile “It’s nice to meet you.”

OH MY GOD

tiptreecrossing

I watch my friend carefully. Her excitement is glowing all over her pretty face. Exactly 2 minutes left, she tells me. We’re waiting at the bus stop and the bus is coming in two minutes. I think she hoped she’d meet them on a beach at sunset or something. ”I mean that’s ok - these things can’t always be romantic I mean my mum met dad when he was working at the book store and it’s not like you can plan it to be romantic I just hoped, I mean everyone hopes don’t they-” she breaks off, looking at me awkwardly. “Sorry. It’s just a big day for me you know.” Yes I do know. You’ve been going on about it for the past year. I smile at her. ”Don’t worry. You nervous? You’ll be ok, you always are,” I grin, determined not to ruin this for her. It’s selfish of me to be moody. This is her future being determined. Right here. In now, precisely 1 minute 30 seconds. She smiles at me, but it isn’t quite reaching her eyes. She’s restless and keeps tapping her foot. Her eyes are wide with.. fear? Excitement? Nerves? Probably all of them and a thousand more things I can’t imagine. She keeps checking her wrist. So do I. The bus comes around the corner. 1 minute 10 seconds. ”Hey. I’ll leave you alone now ok? The bus is here. I’ll sit a couple of seats away, and be there if you need me,” I say, squeezing her arm reassuringly. “Good luck.” I hope it sounded sincere. The bus pulls up and I climb on first, taking a quick glance at her while I give the driver my ticket. She’s shaking and looks a little green. I want to give her a hug but know I shouldn’t interrupt now. I look at the passengers and it’s full of pensioners. My heart starts beating frantically. What? I can’t see anyone else at the bus stop. But she’s only 18, she can’t end up with a 80 year old. I turn around and look at her - she’s breathing hard. The bus driver asks if she’s ok but she ignores him. Her eyebrows are creased and her face is flushed. Oh. Oh no. Stay calm. Someone is probably late. I give her a thumbs up and try to smile reassuringly. I think it’s more of a grimace. I take a seat near the back. Look at my watch. 25 seconds. She sits down a few seats away.

Suddenly a dark shape runs past my window and a boy jumps on the bus. He has that same frantic look in his eyes. I breathe out with relief. ”Yeah get on, we’re running late,” the driver says, taking his ticket. The boy looks around, carefully stepping towards the seats. He’s tall and handsome, holding a sketchbook. I smile slightly; my friend hates art. 4 seconds He spots her. 3 seconds His eyes widen as he walks closer, as if being pulled by an invisible rope. 2 seconds My friend stands up too, that same rope tying her to him. 1 second - ”I was worried the bus would leave. No way could I miss meeting my soul mate!” he jokes, though he looks just as nervous as she. They smile at each other as they both sit down together. I can’t hear what they’re talking about.

I take a deep breath and let it out slowly. Suddenly I’m crying. Hot tears dropping down my cheeks.

I look at my wrist, scratching at it. Trying to get rid of it.

The numbers have never changed.

They’ve always been at 0.
