Write one leaf about a burrito.
(via writeoneleaf) Mexican food is my comfort food. I grew up with the steamed tortillas, the frijoles (pinto, por favor,) stuffed with the pollo o carne and then with lettuce and salsa on top. My nose can practically smell the difference between the authentic Mexican food and the Americanized sad excuse for “Mexican food” which appears in the form of places like Taco Bell. I know a...

fun-sized cougar.
This is Adam’s nickname for me. I get the fun-sized part, but we have both forgotten why I was deemed “cougar” since I haven’t dated anyone younger than me before. Anyway, I was thinking about what it would be like to be tall. I think it would be cool to look down and see clothes hanging off me like a hanger; this is what models look like to me on the catwalk. Despite this...
sometimes you can't make it on your own.
I just got off the phone with my best friend Timmy from New York. I hate when you really really really care about people but you just feel super helpless when they need you because of uncontrollable things like DISTANCE. I can’t even explain how hard distance fucks me over. Ugh. After this conversation, where I felt about as helpful as as a rock, I realized that even though shitty things...

Write one leaf about J.D. Salinger.
writeoneleaf:
J.D. Salinger : Rest in Peace
Salinger introduced me to one of my favorite books (and seemingly everyone else’s favorite book too,) The Catcher in the Rye. I have such a big attachment to this book, I can’t even explain. Around 60% of my conversations with Yohawn involved this book or Holden Caulfield. His character seems so simple (the angsty, douchebagesque,...

Do you get nervous when someone is angry and yelling around you? Ja, ueber krass awkward. What places have you been to today? AOC, COC, home. So eventful! Currently what are you wearing? Track sweats and a Mayday Parade shirt. Could you ever be friends with someone who hurt you before? Yes, I don’t like being on bad terms with people. When in a car and your at a stop light or something, do...

shit happens.
After digging up a repressed memory, my night has been filled with procrastination and anxiety attacks. I realized I have this weird relationship with myself. I seem to view myself as someone else. Every time something bad happens, I feel like I’m watching someone else experience it. And then I feel their pain in the aftermath; but the pain is the other person’s, not mine. I want to...
procrastination conversations.
Yohawn: chingoo we need to start a band. Me: i know. we should have like weird lyrics and shit. Yohawn: they should be about the sex lives of famous dog walkers.
“NOOOOOOOOOOOO >:| i’m so mad. my old computer had like…AIM type...”

what the fuck berkeley?
I have to complete all this extra shit for my application because I have a “mental condition” that they want to take into consideration when deciding if I should be accepted or not. I was already fucking stressed out because of school and life and now I have to do this shit. FUCK THIS.
Write one leaf about a music box.
(via writeoneleaf) Music boxes should be part of every girl’s childhood. I had this one really huge music box that my mom got me for my 4th birthday; it would play a tune and there was a ballerina in a pink tutu twirling in the middle when you opened it. The front of the box had these teddy bears with red bows and pink tutus dancing. I loved that music box. The ballerina fell off and the...
hxc senioritis?
I never really understood the term, or the motivation for anyone who would want to just completely fail at school. Until I did it. I used to be a straight A student until shit came into my life and all my grades fell. Since that happened, I haven’t been able to get back up. I don’t know why. At this point, I don’t even care anymore. I lack motivation and inspiration for school. I...
"i'll wait for you, i promise you, i will"
How do long distance relationships always seem to find me? I’ve probably been in more long distance relationships than the average person, and there are so many cons about them so I don’t know how I seem to work them out. You never get to see the person; thus, communication, trust, commitment, and patience are some of the biggest factors when you get yourself into the situation. This...
Write one leaf about the Golden Gate.
(via writeoneleaf) As a native of the Bay Area, the Golden Gate is something more than a tourist attraction to me. When I moved away to southern California, I would always look for things that reminded me of home. On the drives back up north to visit my family, my eyes scanned for landmarks to assure myself that I was finally back: the white energy windmills in Livermore, the power plants a little...
yohawn convos.
Me: So basically he was asking me if I cheated and shit. Even though this happened like 7 months ago. I was like WTF.
Yohawn: You should be like. YES. When I was with you, fuxd like lost count of lesbian softball players. Sorry bro.
Stuff like this make my day.
