Musings

“You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life…You give them a piece of you, they didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore.” - Neil Gaiman, Sandman Vol. 9

Friendships are something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I feel as though I have many friends, and I really appreciate that. I’m not sure that they know how much I value knowing them and being able to hang out with them.

I believe that friendships are taken for granted a lot. No one ever realizes how essential friends are until they’ve lost them all or pushed everyone away. My friends hold me up and support me so well. Even when I’ve made mistakes they’re there for me. We buy each other Christmas presents and text each other stupid things. I love my friends with all my heart and soul.

tumblrbot asked: WHAT MAKES YOU FEEL BETTER WHEN YOU ARE IN A BAD MOOD?

Definitely drawing and listening to music. Sometimes I’m even more productive in a bad mood because I’ve got so much emotion pent up.
