< YES WE CAN | Home | Woof Contest Picks for 10/31 >

i'm cold and i'm in a strange place and there's laughter through the walls and i don't want to be an adult anymore, i just want to go home and sleep.

at the end of the day, all you have is yourself, and it's hard, because you have to light the way on your own, and it's dark and you don't know if the light from you is enough.  and everyone around you wants you to be something incredible, something beautiful and glorious and extraordinary, but all you want to be is yourself.

and happy.

and it's so hard, it's so hard to be all of those things.
