I felt despair. The word “despair” is overused and banalized now, but it’s a serious word, and I’m using it seriously. It’s close to what people call dread or angst, but it’s not these things, quite. It’s more like wanting to die in order to escape the unbearable sadness of knowing I’m small and weak and selfish and going, without doubt, to die. It’s wanting to jump overboard.
–David Foster Wallace, “Shipping Out or A Supposedly Fun Thing I Will Never Do Again”

Wait for the boy that tells you what you need to hear, not just want you want him to say. Wait for the boy that looks at you like you're the best thing in the world. Wait for the boy that thinks you're beautiful, because he loves you; not loves you because you're beautiful. Wait for the boy that you can talk to about anything and still have an amazing, exciting conversation with. Wait for the boy that can always make you laugh, wait for the boy that proves his love through actions, not words... Wait for the boy that knows you; inside and out, but loves every bit of you.

I am constantly falling in love with stories and reasons and airports. I struggle with uncertainty, and I believe that a life without wine is not worth living. I am crazy, but in a good way, passionate, loud, and somewhat impatient... but in the end I am just a girl trying to find meaning, either in life or in the circus...
