The gift of memory is an awful curse,
With age it just gets much worse,
But I won’t mind.
Secret life of tumblr
What a shitty day.
I’m not a huge fan or the word “shitty” but it just sums up how I’m feeling and how it felt today.
I feel like tumblr is my last place of refuge where I can write stupid emo stuff like this. Twitter feels too public now and Facebook… I don’t even use Facebook…
I need to get my life in order so I can get back to New York as soon as possible. I feel like life was “easier” there.
“Sometimes the bad outweighs the good. You have to realise that.”
Where is the line where the bad outweighs the good? I really don’t know. I’ve been through this before and I did not know where the line was. And when I had a few years of being single, I thought I had properly thought out where…
As the possibility of a relationship had faded, Emma had endeavored to harden herself to Dexter’s indifference and these days a remark like this caused no more pain than, say, a tennis ball thrown sharply at the back of her head. These days she barley even flinched…

Things I am bad at:
Decision making. Estimating. Overall judgement.
Things I am good at:

Howl: Sophie! You, you sabotaged me! Look! Look at what you’ve done to my hair! Look!
Old Sophie: What a pretty color.
Howl: It’s hideous! You completely ruined my magic potions in the bathroom!
Old Sophie: I just organized things, Howl. Nothing’s ruined.
Howl: Wrong! Wrong! I specifically ordered you not to get carried away!
[tragically]
Howl: Now I’m repulsive.
[slumps into a chair]
Howl: I can’t live like this.
[starts sobbing, head in hands]
Old Sophie: Come on, it’s not that bad.
[Howl’s hair changes color to purple, then black]
Old Sophie: You should look at it now, its shade is even better.
Howl: [inconsolable] I give up. I see no point in living if I can’t be beautiful.
