the things that matter to me don't have to be the things that matter to you, but i'm going to remember them because for me there is simply no other way.

i've accepted now that i was made to linger and dramatize and romanticize.

that's how i find meaning in life, in the details and the wonderful things that are ephemeral and transient.

there are certain moments when i'll be home in the burbs doing homework on a friday night lamenting my nerdiness and suddenly it's not ok to think so much because of the nostalgia and ensuing run on sentences, so then you have to write something to reassure yourself that it's okay to be like that. it's okay to miss things even when nobody else misses them.

i understand too well people that find joy in the present, in savoring and relishing the unquenchable thirst of the life lived in the moment, enjoyed for what it was at the time, appreciated to its full extent and then relinquished when its time had passed. you don't have to remember anything, if that's how you choose to live.

i have to remember everything.
unfortunately, this doesn't help the run on sentence thing.
