"I don’t suppose you have many friends. Neither do I. I don’t trust people who say they have a lot of friends. It’s a sure sign that they don’t really know anyone."

"Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else."

"I’m trying to be on my best behavior, but you have to understand— I’m always standing on the edge of something bad. And sometimes someone like you can make me look the other way, so that I don’t know how close I am to falling over. But I always end up turning my head. Always. I always walk off that edge. And it’s shit I deal with every day, and it’s shit that’s not going away any time soon."

I want to stand inside the circle of other people and be noticed for the right things, but it seems like the wrong things are always bigger.

-
"I often feel like I want to think something, but I can’t find the language that coincides with the thoughts, so it remains felt, not thought."

"After all of the disappointments and heartaches, it’s still not worth it to bench yourself during the dating game. Of course, if you don’t play, you won’t lose. But let’s face it: if you don’t play, you can’t win. Ever."
About
♥ Hey! I'm Lindsey. 20. Kentucky. ♐ Sagittarius. College student.
This is what my brain thinks, my eyes see, and my heart desires. This is who I am. I mostly write and reblog things that apply to me. Anything big, small, funny, annoying, positive, and negative.
I write because I don't like who I am when I stay silent. I'd much rather just get it out of my system. I don't claim to be good, but I like to try. It's just how I feel and maybe you can relate. ♥
