this photograph intrigues me so much! why isn’t this the most famous photo from 9/11 instead of the falling man? isn’t 2 people holding hands after jumping more significant than 1 man? it makes me wonder what the story is behind this photo, were they friends or lovers? or just strangers who were too scared to jump alone? it shows that people need a helping hand even in their final moments, i love it.
I for one think they were strangers. Sometimes it’s easier to care for a stranger, how else would they have found the courage to not only jump, but to look into someone’s eyes and jump. I don’t think I could have done that if I knew the person well.


that’s a powerful photo 

Wow❤

DANCING WITH MY FRIENDS

Seriously….I have already felt shitty enough about what you said and how I handled it. I do not know what I did to get this from you. It’s not fair. If it is because I did not talk to you I literally don’t know what to tell you, it is childish. You clearly told me I was not a good friend. I have had enough. I would appreciate it if you could grow up and stop bringing it up. I miss you so much and I honestly am not handling this well at all, as much as I try to push it aside. I just don’t understand how you could have pushed me aside this quickly. Who knows if we will ever be close again but I just want you to know I am truly sorry but please I beg you to stop.

It’s crazy how much I can relate to strangers…I love Tumblr. (: MYBRETHREN. I HAVE FOUND MY BRETHREN. I totally friggin’ nodded and then freaked the frick out when I read the next line where it accused me of doing the very thing O_O THIS. (Source: pretttycunt, via thehilariousblog)

Can you relate? You sit in your towel after a shower because you’re too lazy to get dressed. You and your best friend can say one word, and crack up. You hate when one string of your hoodie is longer than the other. You hate it when people think you like someone when you clearly don’t. You hate it when your favorite song comes on, as you pull into the driveway. You feel like if you turn on the lights, you will be safe from anything. You push those little buttons on the lids of fast-food drinks. You laugh until people get hurt, then stop when you realize it’s serious. You hate it when parents get serious about something funny you tell them. You hate when you tell a guy to shut up and they copy you in a higher voice. You pretend to sleep when your parents come in. You text the person next to you things that you can’t say out loud. You hate when people in front of you walk really slow and you can’t get past them. You’re always tired no matter how much sleep you get. You stop the microwave before it hits 00:00 to avoid hearing the beeps. You use the “sup” head nod. You just did the nod after you read it. You hate when you are mad at someone and they make you laugh. You check the fridge every ten seconds to see if food magically appeared.

When I want my friend to take another shot with me

Why do you think it’s ok to hold some kind of grudge against me. I think I work hard in class, well sometimes it is quite hard to bring myself to pushing through any pain or tiredness I feel but I try. Is that not what our first year is about? Everything I do just seems not to be good enough to you. You hold a double standard…one for people like me then yes…the favorites.  You say you expect more from me and maybe yea..like you said “I am not good enough” but I really don’t need your constant reminder. I just hope you know I will prove you wrong because this is where I need to be….more so WANT to be. I don’t have to prove myself to you…I am here for a reason. By no means will I ever be a ballerina but that was never in the cards for me. I just wish you could see the things I can do.  It’s hard to go through a semester knowing your teacher does not like you. Openly at that. People say they don’t see it, maybe I’m playing the pity card. But you have gone as far as telling me in so many words to switch majors, what kind of mentor would do that, even if I am struggling. I admit sometimes I completely give up in class. I just wish you knew I was trying. So where am I supposed to pull this “confidence” from. I wish I knew. I will prove you wrong, I have slowly but surely….just watch.

I know I may seem childish for caring so much. But I honestly don’t think you realized how much what you said hurt. I have tried to stop thinking about it but just can’t. I don’t even want to talk to you anymore……like you said “It just won’t be the same”.  But honestly this is bullshit…sorry I don’t talk to you all the time. I’m away….at school. There is nothing I can do. I apologize I was distant but whenever we DID talk you never told me ANYTHING. So…………i think this one goes two ways.  I don’t care if you don’t want to talk to me after you read this, I just really need to get it out of my system. Im hurt, in a big way. We were like twins……so in the time you came to visit and now what happened? Why and how have you all of a sudden decided were not close anymore..? Beats me but oh well what’s done is done. And apparently I deserved it.  I’ll just sit back and take it. I remain blown away entirely, so don’t get offended if I literally have nothing to say to you. I am speechless.  sorry that I am FINALLY  growing up. I’m just being honest.
