dead hearts are everywhere. dead hearts are everywhere.

I'm pretty sure I speak for every single girl (and probably boy too) when I say that being single isn't easy- especially during the holidays.  There just something about the falling snow and twinkling lights that elicits PDAs, even without the help of mistletoe.  It's not that us singletons are bitter or jealous, but rather …

if i talk really slowly, if i try real hard to make my point dear, that you have my heart. here i go. i’d tell you but you already know.

In order to write this post to the best of my ability, I must admit that I've been watching The Bachelorette this season.  Now in mentioning this, it is necessary to remind you that I've stuck with my boycott and haven't watched a single episode of The Bachelor since the Jake-Choosing-Vienna moment shook my guilty …

i know it’s not your fault, but i’m a locked door. anytime i’m a mess by someone before. and i wish that i, i could find the key, to unlock all the things you want us to be. let me open up and start again, but there’s a safe around my heart. i don’t know how to let you in.

out of breath, i am left hoping someday i’ll breathe again.

Yes, I'm 27 years old and I watch Gossip Girl.  I didn't at first but now I do, so let's just get that out of the way.  Judge me if you will but at least I don't watch Jersey Shore.  (I really don't.)  Annyyyywaaaysss.  I watched the first episode of the new season this week and …
