Hello

Well, I feel like writing this, so I'm going to go ahead & write it. As usual. Note: This is solely based on what I feel & what I observe. Excuse me please, it's currently 12:14am and I'm tired.

Vannie,
I don't even know how to explain this exactly, but I feel like you're slowly but surely turning into me... Yep, that must sound weird. But I'm just saying that around 2 years ago, I was in your place. Feeling horrible myself, but helping others instead. You know, I told you that one of the biggest things that makes me feel better about myself & my life is when I help other people. Julia was right about that one. Anyway, I don't know if you are aware, but I can see what you post on twitter and yes, I do check it sometimes. Lately, you've had posts where you write that you have no one to talk to or that you wish that someone would ask you if you were okay... Or how you feel bad. You post on twitter stuff which you should most likely be telling me or julia or any friend. I also don't know if you noticed this, but I've asked you to talk about what is bothering you specifically and anything on your mind. You answered me saying that things are fine, just stressed about school/passing exams blablabla. I would really like you to talk more about YOU.  Anything you, anything at all. I don't care if you think it's stupid, I'd still like to know. I am worried that you're concentrating too much on everyone else, but yourself. It's not the most ideal thing, I'll say that from experience. I love and respect the fact that you put your friends first, that's a very brave thing to do. But I would like to talk about stuff going on in your life, in your mind... MORE. Because again, if no one says anything, I will just continue talking (unless the world is crashing down around me like wednesday) and I find that you don't tell me things that much about your life at the moment because you obviously think I'm going through too much to handle anything else. But that's no good, that's not what I'd like, I don't want special treatment... I would like to be there for you just as much as you are for me. And I know life can suck just because, not for an easily explainable reason. Life can suck for the simple fact that it's just 'okay', I understand that. Please please understand that we are all aloud to feel sad, to feel depressed, to feel like utter shit for no reason at all!!! You don't need to have a 'good' reason, that doesn't matter at all. The fact of the matter is that something is bothering you, that something shouldn't be disregarded because bigger things are happening around you. Also, stop blaming yourself for things that you have no control over. Do not beat yourself up, it's not worth it. And for the mistakes you've made in the past... WHO CARES. We all make mistakes, it's what makes us learn, it's what makes us better people each day. As long as you don't move off to Turkey to live in a farmland with your husband that you married online who owns only a goat, I do not judge you for any 'mistakes' that you've made. Do not dwell on the past, rather, make your future what you find your past lacked. And we're in no rush, we're 15-16 years old, god dammit!!! This is just the beginning.

And you know why I'm so scared to tell feli? Not because I think I'll never have interest in anyone else or that no one else will have interest in me. Because I've never wanted to know someone more than I want to know him. Because I can't even imagine him saying yes. Because I think it would be too good to be true. Because I'm scared to even hope for a yes. Because I fear how I'll handle it if it's a no. I'm scared to let myself be happy, and you know what? That's why I have to do it. For myself, to learn one way or another... To let myself be happy. I need to learn to take my chances and hope for the best, something I've forgotten how to do. This is the beginning. Yes, he's everything to me right now, but one day, I'll look back on it and think that I was an idiot, that's just how life is I guess. It goes on & you should let go.

Here are things I think you should know at a time like this. Things that might need to be addressed and things that I don't say enough. They are all true.
1)I love you, quite a bit, more than nearly everything on this planet
2)I find you very beautiful (especially when you don't pack on the eyeliner hehe), you have big features  and I find they give you this glow and I really like your natural look, i guess that's why the makeup bothers me sometimes, because I find your natural beauty epic
3)I think that I have told you more than I have told anyone else
4)I have had many 'firsts' with you, new experiences that you usually get me into :) I always love it in the end too
5)I find that you are a lot wiser than I give you credit for
6)I think you underestimate your way with words. You have told me very smart things in the past. I am 100% sure that you have things figured out in your mind, it's just harder for you to get it into speech
7)I don't care what you say, you have potential for anything you set your mind to
8)I've always admired the way you think, the more optimistic side, it's something that I wish I could be, but I can't, so I act out against it
9)Stay strong, vannie. Life can be weird and cruel and unfair in the most subtle ways. But, I know in the end, it'll be worth it. Some way, some how... 'We're just trying to find some color in this black & white world.' The color will come, eventually :)

Anyway, I hope this was interesting and entertaining all at once.
Take from this what you will!

Love Always,
Eka

PS: one for you, julia, might be on the way, it's just late now tehe... and i had things to address for van lalala

no need to watch it all :) or at all. I just wanted to share his awesomeness :') even if he's obsessed with  dubstep :p but there's just something about him that's cool :) he's such a hippie!

Some interesting facts about him:
-He is a vegan
-He doesn't  believe in wearing shoes. He doesn't wear them unless it's absolutely necessary, usually just goes around barefoot
-He likes to wear the same outfit for a long period of time and when he finally changes, he sometimes just ditches the clothes somewhere or gives it to someone
-He's been smoking cigarettes since he was 14, weed since he was 16
-He does meth, acid & LSD occasionally
-He's absolutely aware of how bad the drugs are for him but he lives by the thought that every second you're already dying so might as well do what makes you happy
-He used to cut himself, now drugs replaced the self-harm
-He dropped out of high school to pursue music, he regrets it a lot
-His family kicked him out of the house for dropping out and he lived on his own in his car for a long time. He says he enjoyed that time of his life a lot because it was just so different
-He believes that his body is a canvas and doesn't believe in getting random tattoos. He thinks about his tattoos in such detail before getting them even if he has many :p
-He does not resent his parents in any way, he even got their initials tattooed on his hands with anchors.
-He seriously tries to love everyone and everything
-He loves when fans can just have normal conversations with him about life :)
-He hates pictures

-He wrote the song Time Travel (by NeverShoutNever otherwise known as him+his live band) on a drug trip

Hehe he's very special....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aLFvKzXTqg ;P yeah, he's a bit cracked, but I think he's happy so that's good :) but his music did get a lot darker recently.... hmmm I really enjoy his music though!

Okay, I had fun talking about him :) byebye

This Is Why I Love Them

All Time Low. They have this sense of unity that other bands don't necessarily have.They are brothers, they stick up for each other and stand up for what is right. I love them so much.

Boy proposes to his girlfriend on stage at an ATL concert :)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kr-imE4AGhA&feature=related
This show is the reason ATL are banned from Six Flags Texas :p Basically, the kids got out of hand and security starting macing (pepper spraying) KIDS. Alex called them out on that and Martin from Boys Like Girls agreed by stating a big fuck you to them... :) The calling out starts at about 2:50 & at 1:10 Jack picks up a girl and runs her to safety :') it's the cutest thing actually... I'm jealous of her hahaha.

Alex calling out a security guard for being too harsh ;p it's what my husband does best. He just speaks what's on his mind. Obviously gets him in a lot of shit sometimes, but it gets me in shit too sooo... Haha love him :)

I love trees...

I have been procrastinating all night...i have a history test tomorrow and i havnt started studying...Arière calls me at 10:25 about history and we are off the phone at 10:30...I was kinda just sitting on my floor trying to will myself into studying but it didnt really work out...instead after looking out my window and discovering no moon i found myself walking down the stairs  and pausing at the bottom of them. I go to the basement but saras on the phone so i go back into the living room and again i just stand at the top of the stairs in my living room. then spice comes to say hello to me. i pick her up and go next to the window. I then go on my knees and i open the little window and breath in the surprisingly not too cold air. the air was just cool, almost warm. Spice hops up next to the window and we both just stare outside. I can hear my dad snoring and next thing you know i just stand up and quietly go down the stairs and quietly open both doors. and i find myself outside.
 I take two abrupt steps foward and then stop. I look around. and see light in a rectangular shape on the grass in front of me. i then realize that its from my room. I walk towards the tree in front and i easily climb up onto the first branch without touching the ropes. I sit there for a little bit, then i move onto the other branch and i lean backwards. Im thinking about how i really feel like biking at the moment. but it would make to much noise to open the garage door so i make myself a mental note to leave my bike in the backyard as soon as the nice weather is permanent for a little while. I continue lying on the branch and reposition myself to get more comfortable. (fyi, im bare foot in loose shorts and my blue sweater) I look at my watch to find that 15min have passed since i got off the phone with arièle. I begin thinking about how i hope no one from my house notices i left, even if i am only in the front yard. i also begin to think about how i wish i could be doing this with mitch not necessarily being in the tree but i like the idea of being out doing nothing  in particular at night. then as a continue lying there i start asking myself questions about life that can never be answered. after a little while of this which just resulted in me singing softly to myself i decide i should go back inside. I sit up but find myself reaching for the branch higher up. I begin climbing higher up the tree ignoring the pain in my feet. I find myself near the top of the tree overlooking the roof of my house and discovering the moon right over the roof off st-thomas! i start smiling like a dork cause i found the moon. and i didnt even realize i was looking for it. Its partly hidden by the clouds and its all yellow like...very pretty. i stand/lean there for a while looking around cause im so high and everything looks so different from here especially at night. id never climbed the tree at night. i find myself singing softly to myself again though i cant recall any of the songs i was singing looking back now. I feels very good being up high in the tree and after a little while i find myself climbing down. I'm almost at the first branch when i look over to the school and discover that i cant see the moon anymore so i go up one branch and there it is again. i sit there for another little while thinking about nothing in particular. I look at my watch again and its now 11pm. I continue sitting there, high enough to see the moon and the top of my roof for a little bit. then I step down and grab hold of a branch with my hands. I push away from the tree and i just hang from the branch with my feet dangling down above the ground. i stay like that for a few seconds and then i just let go. I land easily with no pain.
 I walk towards the house and stop half way there. I do a hand stand on the grass and then a cartweel. then i continue walking toward the door and right before i reach the asphalt i stop and do a back walkover. all of this effortlessly. I finally walk towards the door and open it quietly and close it. I lock it. I open and close the other door quielty and then make my way upstairs back to my room. I grab my computer and discover that it is 11:11 so i make a wish until it changes to 11:12. then i find myself here cause i wanted somewhere to write this random 42minutes of my evening. it was very odd and relaxing and interesting. i hope i didnt bore you too much since nothing exciting happens in this text. good night. maybe I'll try to study for history now.
