There’s a low point you reach at bars sometimes.
I get it, I’m in my twenties, I’m supposed to high five people at bars. I’m supposed to be enveloped in the kind of life that supports people who wear plaid shirts and Axe body Spray and tips a dollar for drinks. I’m supposed to wait on bathroom…

On special snowflake disease.
dearcoketalk:
Dear Coquette,
How do I deal with the realization that I have no special talents, nor am I as intelligent as I thought to be? I feel like I am not going to be able to accomplish anything I wanted to do in my life.
You’ll be fine. You’re just going through the withdrawal phase of a self-esteem addiction. It’s a natural part of your recovery from Special Snowflake Disease.
Let...

Cobra: Parseltongue
Dad: coincidence that big snake escaped from the Bronx zoo the same time Daniel Radcliffe is in NY? next there will be a billboard in times square telling us “her body will lie in the sewage system of New York forever.” Creepy.

The Five Stages of GR(I)E(F)
searching for witty tumblr posts about the GREs > studying

tarts:
Sometimes the easiest way to solve a problem is to stop participating in the problem. Sometimes the smartest choice is giving up.

Give up wanting to be a famous musician, artist, architect, thinker, writer, whatever-it-is. Maybe it’s smarter to make your purpose to have an impact, instead.
Give up trying to be perfect.
Give up keeping...
