you are important.

You Are Important

"You apologize for things which are not your fault, even for things which hurt no one. You will bump into a table and mutter that you are sorry to have hurt it, you will excuse yourself. If you happened to cross a stream of particularly rude passerby, you would hold the door open for hours on end, never entering the building yourself. There is a part of you which seems embarrassed to take up space, as though you don’t deserve the things you touch, the air you breathe, the chairs you sit on. You feel as though there is always a way to be more accommodating, less of an intrusion. But you are not intruding, you know. You never are."

Is this article about me?

Yeah, I think it might be. 

Watching Parks & Rec, feeling the weight of work and life and everything on me. But, you know, I have Leslie Knope to cheer me up. She reminds me that it's okay to be weird...because she's a total weirdo but she effing rules.

the fault in our stars.

Mr E. Sheeran.

what i got out of this past weekend is that ed sheeran is absolutely fantastic live. and he's cute. and short. and he wears 3/4 cargo pants on stage. so much respect.

the duets i loved the best: opening for ed were gabrielle aplin and a guy mike who goes by the name of "passenger" and they both sang duets with ed throughout the concert.

ugh, to die for! fantastic. all such amazing voices.





the story about the "kiss me" song is pretty adorbs - apparently ed's parents friends were best friends for 50 years and finally got married. so he dedicated the song to "all those people out there who fall in love with their best friends."
cuuuuuuuuuuuute.

Adam!

"Hi, I’m Adam, and I’m an alcoholic. Um, I’ve been sober since I was 17. Um, I knew I had a problem pretty early and I dealt with it because I didn’t wanna wait, and I knew it would just get worse. I felt pretty solid after I stopped drinking, I stopped coming to as many meetings, but lately I haven’t felt so solid anymore so… I had this girlfriend who at first I didn’t like very much, or, I didn’t take her very seriously, I guess. She just seemed like, you know, a piece of ass. But she was persistent, man. And she just hung around, and hung around, and showed up at my place—and gradually, it started to feel better when she was there. It wasn’t “love” the way I imagined it. I just felt weird if I didn’t know what she was up to or whatever. And I liked knowing that she was just gonna be there, and warm, and staying the night. And she acted like I was teaching her everything. About f***in’ history, about sex. She didn’t know what street Central Park started on, or how to use soap. And I showed her. And I wanted that chance to show someone everything. But she changed her mind about me, and it was that fast. I’m so exhausted. Okay. And I’ll bring cookies. I don’t really like cookies that much so don’t get mad if I bring the wrong shit."
