It’s strange how people keep saying good things about you that you refuse to accept but when you finally do they call you arrogant.
Like, I’ve been called intelligent, and not just clever but the type of natural inbred intelligence where I can magically pull information from thin air without the need to study it. The type of intelligent that people envy because they can’t pass...

I was told that apparently I have a lot of hate in...
That I should let go.
Maybe this whole Zen thing isn’t working out as well as I thought it would. All the welled up anger and hate is just gonna make me blow up one day into one major clusterfuck of rage.
Apparently, I’m too calm/nice/tolerant for my own good, and I should be more emotional.
I completely agree, but that doesn’t mean I’ll do it. I’m the type of...

#1 New York Times Bestseller
fishingboatproceeds:
I just received the news that The Fault in Our Stars will debut at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list for YA/chapter books. TFiOS is also #9 on this week’s UK bestseller list for ALL books, which is particularly amazing because it doesn’t even have a UK-specific publisher.
Thank you. Thank you for buying (and, more importantly, reading) The Fault in Our Stars. Thank...

I had a 1AM confessions conversation last night...
Her confession: She fears she’s only moving forward because that’s what people do in relationships.
My confession: I think I’m becoming a lesbian.
See, the thing is, I’m in a relationship. With a man. Whom I love dearly, but I seem to only be sexually attracted to girls lately. I was sort of happy settling with pansexuality.
Wow, to be almost 21 and to have your sexual...

I hate myself so much
that I think I don’t deserve to die. I know I don’t deserve to live. But I’m that despicable that dying would be a gift, and I do not deserve that gift.
So I have to live, and suffer, because I deserve to feel and experience all the horrible things life brings. I am that despicable. God, I wish I could just die.
Does that make sense?

My Internet has been so bad lately and I have been...
But this is the final straw. I am beyond frustrated with my Internet connection. It has been two weeks. Two weeks of really unimaginably slow Internet that I wish I could kick and punch. Two weeks of suppressed frustration.
Wanna know how bad it is? As I’m typing this, this page is still being loaded. A 4-minute Youtube video has been loading for the past 10 minutes, and it’s not even...
