how i got over

dude, what the hell is wrong with you?

stop drinking excessively. stop self medicating. stop being who you're not. so you're not one of the cool kids, and maybe you like quieter evenings. that's your prerogative. if you wanna see what the other scenes are like, go for it too.

be happy. be patient. be strong, because you are a diamond being. you don't need bitterness towards life, and women, and people who sleep well at night. you don't need a girlfriend or a boyfriend.

you'd be surprised how little you need.

so it's a... calm the fuck down, thing, innit

you're fine. we'll be fine.


tl;dr people be saying and doing stupid shit on facebook and it's stupid

on leaving italy

never have i been happier to not have any attention from guys. my god, italy was one long "do you have a boyfriend?" after another. catcalls, passing remarks, 'what are you doing later tonight?'s. THOUGH! i did get hit on by a very cute vendor who sold me a leather purse. he even kissed me on the cheek! though, it would be totally creepy if he weren't cute, wouldn't it. ahhhhhh oh well whatever.

we're in switzerland now. things very expensive. beginnings of malnourishment. but it is jaw droppingly beautiful. definitely one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen....
