You and I and We and Them and Ours
The few people I'm close to all have blogs/Tumblrs now, and it's interesting to think how people connect through the internet. In a choice between actually being with people and keeping in touch online, I'm pretty sure me and most of the world prefer face to face interaction. Feeling and exploring the world together.

Revolution
A quote that sums up an entire year, from the confusion of last July to this July, where understanding meets hope.
"Charlie, don't you get it? I can't feel that. It's sweet and everything, but it's like you're not even there sometimes. It's great that you can listen and be a shoulder to someone, but what about when someone doesn't need a shoulder ( Read more... )
