“Life: in all its pain, misery, grandiosity and glory. I sing for myself, yet if others truly find inspiration through my words, then I have accidentally done something brilliant in my life”
—John O’Callaghan (The Maine) (via quote-book)
“When adults say, “Teenagers think they are invincible” with that sly, stupid smile on their faces, they don’t know how right they are. We need never be hopeless, because we can never be irreparably broken. We think that we are invincible because we are. We cannot be born, and we cannot die. Like all energy, we can only change shapes and sizes and manifestations. They forget that when they get old. They get scared of losing and failing. But that part of us greater than the sum of our parts cannot begin and cannot end, and so it cannot fail.”
— John Green (Looking for Alaska) (via squeakyshins)
No sleep
I can’t sleep and everyone has fallen asleep on me. So now Im laying on my half inflatted air-mattress staring at the ceiling in the dark. I have run out of playlists and quotes. I’m stuck…
I need to relax
So I figured out that I just need to let things go when it comes to the whole college thing. I got screwed over and now I am starting over. So I need to relax and let things go. Don’t be so dramatic little Emily!
Less than 24 hours
And I get to see my friends :) That’s really the only good thing scituate has to offer me when I get back. School and work… Not so much.
Rite Of Spring
I was locked all day in the summer heat, In a small brown house in Suburban Street, With a skateboard and my shit guitar, I’d dream all day that they would get me far, My dad would ask me about my grades, The asshole sports that I never played. And then I’d ask about the girls he’d date, Behind our backs when mom would stay up late. It was near when I turned sixteen, Got kicked out of school, and so it seemed that things were closing in and ready to blow, My dad moved out about that year or so, It took an hour to start a punk rock band To offset my fucked up family land And as I held my mom would start to cry I swore ourselves a better life
If I had a chance for another try, I wouldn’t change a thing It’s made me all of who I am inside And if I could thank god That I am here, and that I am alive And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie The whole wide world is mine
The summers gone, the years have passed, My friends have changed, a few did last, The smallest dreams got pushed aside, The largest ones that changed my life, And all I wish for was come to pass From rock and roll, to love and cash It’s all success if it’s what you need Do what you like and do it honestly
If I had a chance for another try, I wouldn’t change a thing It’s made me all of who I am inside And if I could thank god That I am here, and that I am alive And everyday I wake I tell myself a little harmless lie The whole wide world is mine
Lightshow
I love when it’s warm out and it thunders and lightning! I’m sitting outside and watching it all :)

Down
Since today is a chill day, I figured I’d take the time and do a vacation recap. So I have been in Florida for the past two weeks and it had been great! I mean I have missed my friends like crazy! (I can only imagine what it is going to be like when we all go off to college!!) Why didn’t you guys come down here with me?!?!!! Anyway, I have gained a hell of a tan! I have met some chill people and now I really want to go to the university of Tampa! I applied (late but whatever). Even though I missed an amazing concert back home i would say that I have had a fantastic vacation so far and I still have three days left :))

“Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it’s not because they enjoy solitude. It’s because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.”
—Jodi Picoult (via myguitarwantstokillyourmom)
“I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.”
