“Real life is a funny thing you know. In real life saying the right thing, at the right moment is beyond crucial. So crucial in fact, that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. But lately what I’ve began to fear more than that, is letting the moment pass with saying anything. I think you deserved to look back on your life without this chorus of resounding voices saying, I could of but it’s too late now. So there’s a time for silence, and there is a time for waiting your turn. But if you know how you feel and you so clearly know what you need to say. You’ll know it. I don’t think you should wait. I think you should speak now.”

Remember the funny movie where the dog died?

Okay, so it’s officially midnight in eastern time zone, which means that it’s officially @theamybrookheimer’s 21st birthday!!!! My little cupcake has grown up so much. I cannot believe you are TWENTY ONE YEARS OLD. CANNOT BELIEVE YOU CAN LEGALLY DRINK NOW. SO EXCITED FOR YOU. Let’s get real here though. Honestly, you are one of my all time favorite people in the world. You are sarcastic and full of sass but you are also somebody with the biggest heart that I know. You’re always there for your friends when they need you. I mean, you do torturous things to me though like SLOTHS. I’m afraid to ever go into my tag on your blog again because I remember last time I did like last year I just saw sloths. Anyways, back to being sappy. I’m so proud of you in life okay. Proud of you following your dreams, proud of you for always singing and proud of you for still auditioning in musicals and stuff. You are so talented and I hope one day the whole world sees your talent like I have experienced!!!! OH MY GOSH I HAVE SO MANY SCREENSHOTS OF YOU FROM FACE TIMING. ANYWAYS. I’m seriously slacking at words and everything right now, but just know that I love you a whole lot okay. These last few years of my life have been a blessing because of your friendship. You’ve changed my life in a way I could never put into words, but am grateful for every day. I’m so glad you’re in my life and deal with me (even though I’ll never read smut!!!!!! or finish house probably) WHATEVER. HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

I want to change the idea of minorities in the media. Or contribute to that movement — I’m not single-handedly doing it. Growing up, I never saw my home life reflected on-screen, and that made me feel a certain way about myself. It’s not only about my ethnicity; it made me feel a certain way about my beauty. Not seeing a woman like me as a lead made me feel like I’d never be skinny enough, I’d never be pretty enough.

SO, TODAY (in America’s time zone at least) is @youaremyperson‘s birthday aka the monica to my rachel, the brooke to my haley, the demi to my selena, the taylor to my selena, LISTEN WE HAVE SO MANY OF THESE I COULD GO ON FOREVER. I never know how to start these!!!!!! If you don’t know who Ellie is, then I genuinely feel like you’re missing out on the best kind of person you can have in your life. I am blessed every day that Ellie is in my life. 5 YEARS LATER. 5 years ago, she sent me a birthday message and that was all it took and now we’ve been glued ever since LITERALLY. We’ve facetimed and basically met all of each other’s families. She is literally family to me. Ellie is also the strongest human being, I know. So many obstacles have been thrown at her, especially in these last 6 months, and my ellie bellie has kept such a positive outlook. She’s full of faith, love, hope and optimism. She is the best person. GOSH I JUST LOVE HER SO MUCH. So let’s talk 2011. HA THAT’S A JOKE because we never talk about 2011. 2011 was a mess. 2011 was like grey’s anatomy obsessed, skipping school and classes to watch episodes, never sleeping and skipping until the sun rose in america or australia. I’m going through our tag right now. ELLIE AND I SURVIVED THE GLEE TOUR TOGETHER. We almost literally went insane with our dashboard and timelines, like we kept each other sane. That’s basically a summary of our friendship. We dislike a lot of popular things but instead of voicing our opinions or talking blatantly about it, we just get our negative opinions out to each other. OK SO LAST TIME I WROTE ELLIE A BIRTHDAY POST SHE HAD JUST TURNED LEGAL IN AUSTRALIA AND I WAS LIKE CAN’T WAIT FOR DRUNK TEXTS. Ha. In this last year, let me tell you not only have I gotten drunk texts but drunk snaps and drunk VIDEOS and they were just as great as I thought they would be. Don’t worry ya’ll, I’ve screenshotted plenty of them. Just like I have screenshotted numerous skype conversations. We literally have blackmail photos of each other, so that’ll be nice reminders in like 30, 40 years when we’re like, “HEY REMEMBER WHEN YOU DID THAT?” Okay, I’m just going to wrap this up so it doesn’t get insanely long. Ellie is one of the best humans I have ever met in my entire life. Having her in my life is having someone who supports you through whatever life has and stands by your side, not only in the good, but also in the bad. Someone who lifts you up when you feel down and make you laugh so hard you can’t breathe. Somebody who answers your texts even if you’re freaking out at 3 or 4 am her time and who is always there for you. Somebody who you can create a lifetime of memories with and unforgettable nights on skype even though she’s thousands of miles away. Somebody who makes you feel like a good friend. They say that the true measure of friendship isn’t how you feel about someone else, but it’s how they make you feel about yourself. Having a friend like Ellie makes you feel like a better person. I JUST LOVE ELLIE SO MUCH. SERIOUSLY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVORITE. Can’t wait to continue to celebrate many more birthdays with you!!!! I love you so much it is disgusting!!!!!

You know when I was a freshman I wasn’t a very good person. I mean sure I was popular and dated seniors… but as a person I was pretty lost. And over the last four years I’ve been forced to grow up. I stopped letting boys define me and I started believing in myself and in my potential and I ran for student counsel president and I designed a clothing line and somewhere along the way, the lost little party girl became the girl on the wall of honour. I know what I did was wrong, I know, but the girl I was when I came here, I’m not so sure she would have. And isn’t that the point of high school? I mean isn’t that what you’ve been trying to teach us.

“You know, it’s been said that we just don’t recognize the significant moments of our lives while they’re happening. We grow complacent with ideas, or things or people and we take them for granted and it’s usually not until that thing is about to be taken away from you that you’ve realized how wrong you’ve been that you realized how much you need it, how much you love it. Life is funny sometimes. It can push pretty hard. But if you look close enough, you can find hope in the words of children, in the bars of the song and in the eyes of someone you love. And if you’re lucky, I mean, if you’re the luckiest person on this entire planet, the person you love decides to love you back.”

I have a lot of skeletons in my closet, and apparently half of them are naked.

My mother never gave me any idea that I couldn’t do whatever I wanted to do or be whomever I wanted to be. Thank you, Mom. You are my guidepost for everything.

happy 31st birthday, crystal reed! (6th of february, 1985)

So listen, once again, it’s Carlie Faye’s birthday (yes that pic is the first time we interacted in 2011)!!!!!!!!! 23 years on this earth, and I, along with SO many other people are so thankful that you’re here. You deserve to have such a wonderful day, and such a wonderful life. I honestly couldn’t imagine a kinder soul, with the most thoughtful heart. You are a special human being and I will treasure you and your friendship forever. This birthday also marks 5 years to the day that we’ve known each other. And every day since, we have stood by each other, and supported one another, and spiraled over things together. I’ve gotten to know who you are, and experience so many different life events with you. I’ve witnessed your most generous and kind acts, and your dumbest of dumb things (how does one even begin listing these). There is no one in this world that knows me like you, and there’s no one in my life quite like you. I feel incredibly lucky every day that Grey’s Anatomy is a thing that exists purely because it brought us together. And while we barely use tumblr anymore, I still feel like this was the perfect platform to post this because this is where our friendship started. Last year I wrote “I want you to know how on your side I am. There is nothing you cannot do, nothing you cannot conquer, and nothing you cannot achieve”, and this remains true because you are the strongest person I know. Honestly, how you do, what you do is beyond me. But I want you to know how phenomenal I think you are. And how I’m rooting for you always.  Thanks for suffering through 5 out of 6 years of high school with me. You are the real trooper here. I couldn’t have done it without you. And you being proud of me graduating was honestly the most rewarding thing. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU EVERY DAY. AND I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. Through AIM chats, to our skype calls, to our love of everything grey’s and our dislike of shows and fandoms that slowly transitioned to Criminal Minds and Gilmore Girls and Charmed and FNL and Nashville and AJ Cook and Demi Lovato and Connie Britton and Little Big Town AND everything in between; AND through our constant life dramas and inexplicably complicated families, we’ve stayed together. And finally, hopefully, by the end of this year, we will have a goddamn picture together.

Happy Birthday my favourite!!!!!!!!. Here’s to another 5 years of friendship and an incredible life. I love you so freaking much it’s absurd x

ELLIE!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT’S FINE I’M NOT CRYING. 5 years later and you are still my favorite human being. I couldn’t imagine my life without you. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.

“It hurt my feelings because I never experienced that before, but I didn’t want [that] to be the story, so I said, “I don’t care what you think!” I’m learning that you can be comfortable and still look beautiful. Some days, I like what I see. Other days I’m like, “I’m not even going to bother”.”
