“I don’t know why guys just think, ‘If I just do it, she’ll do it, too.’ ”
“I woke up the next morning without any pants on, and without any recollection.”

School sucks because if you do somehow get the motivation to do something, you can’t focus on it.

Am I human?
I'm just tired of hiding. I'm tired of being so emotional and yet empty the same time. I feel like a walking paradox, trying to lift others up, yet putting myself down for the simplest of things. I feel as if I can't open up to people or else they'll hate me…of course, I think that they hate me anyways. I think I'm worthless and that no one really loves me, even though I know that there are people who do.
