Is my saving grace.

I swear, the day that I can, I’m going to take care of her to repay her for everything she’s ever done for me.

“I get sick to my stomach thinking of a life without you. Every word I write is just to make you proud somehow. I’ll give it all I have for you”

The weathers keeping me up tonight As my nerves are setting out of sight,

Shes safely in bed, Her favorite blanket beneath her chin And ive got this swollen head with all these crazy thoughts in it But they’re all disappearing as the morning comes.

I’m just happy youre in one piece and that’s all that should matter to me.

It’s 5am and pouring rain, I just wish you were next to me cause I’ve come to terms with the fact It’s harder to sleep without you.

You’re beautiful and I’m a mess (I’m beyond excited for our first Christmas) I hope it won’t change a thing Thank you for loving me Exactly the way you do

We’ll let this engine burn as long as we need til this works out and all is said and done. The miles we’ve taken for granted are slowly being washed away by the snow that’s covering up everything we’ve got locked up inside my ride tonight. You want this to work out but you’re everything I fought for for years and I just can’t anymore. I would change the weather patterns if i knew it would warm your heart. I’m not sorry for the falling out but you were the one with all the control. I’ll walk you to your door and we’ll say goodnight for now, I hope, maybe I’ll see you around.

I really want a puppy

I’m looking for the upsides to these panic-attack nights where I’m staying in eating take-out food by TV light. I’m trying to play the b-side to this awkward life of mine. You could flip me over, I’d sing a few lines about how I’m so used to shooting myself in the kneecaps, standing in the way of progress or letting down my friends. I’m nailing shards of hope together to put something over my head because you know here it’s always raining and it happened again. It happened again. She said, “I let this slide when we were younger. You know you don’t have to write like this. The whole world’s full of losers. If you get a chance to win, take it.” I stood on the roof with Matt and Molly. Watched the gray slide off the city because it’s finally spring. We rode our bikes over to 6th Street, to Washington Square Park to see if the tides would turn for me. I left a lot of blood in California on our first trip out west. I was younger and restless back then and I thought, if no one’s in my corner, since everyone left, I’d better make it worth it.

Try and tell me I’m not the luckiest guy in the world.

I can’t even begin to describe how much I’ve laughed and smiled and overall just been genuinely happy since meeting her. Spending time with her is my favourite thing on earth. Having her now makes me realize how nothing I’ve had before can compare to this. I am so in love. She is the girl of my dreams and the best friend I’ve always wanted.

Jess, thank you for being you. Happy anniversary.

What I’m thankful for this year is simple, love.

It’s what it all comes down to. This last half of the year I have never felt more loved. Whether it be from my beautiful family, from my amazing friends, or from my perfect girlfriend.

I’ve battled with depression and self image/confidence issues for most of the past two years. Finally for the first time I’m learning to let go. I’m becoming the better person I’ve always wanted to be and i blame that solely on the love and encouragement from the people in my life.

I’m so thankful everyday that i come from a loving home. My mother is the most amazing woman on the face of the earth. She’s taught me to welcome the world with open arms and to cherish new experiences and difficulties. To push forth and exceed in life for the dreams i have and want to accomplish. I love my mother more than words could possibly describe. She is the definition of a saint in my eyes. If I could give her the world, I would. I wish I had more to say about my mother but words just escape me. When you meet her, you just get it.

My friends are my backbone. The few that i have, are all i need. I could probably count my closest friends on a hand and a half but they’re always there when i really need someone to turn to. Being in bands most of my life I’ve always had band members (aka) “friends” who would just put up with eachother until everything finally came crashing. I finally have gotten past that stage in my life. My friends now are without a doubt some of the most passionate and histerical people i’ve met. Moving in with Abby is honestly one of the best decisions I’ve ever made in my life. She is beyond the meaning of what a best friend is. She’s more like my sister and I love her to death. I mean who can laugh at poop jokes and be completely irresponsible with me and still take me to the hospital when my body is about to stop working? that’s friendship at it’s finest.

I have been blessed since Jess has come into my life. She’s shown me what it’s like to really fall in love. Just unconditional honest and true love. I can’t fathom what I felt before but I have never felt this way in my life. I thank god every day for her. She has helped me, above all else, become the person I wanted to be. I’ve never been more honest, caring, or strong for someone. She has really helped shape me into becoming a much stronger individual as well as helping me open up about things I really never have before. On top of all this I don’t think I’ve ever smiled so much. She literally makes me laugh to the point of crying sometimes. (I think it’s cause she loves my laugh so she just tries to get me going but that’s besides the point…) I love having someone to confide in that understands me, and it’s almost scary how similar our lives have been. I do strongly believe meeting her was meant to happen. I’m growing again as a person and it’s a beautiful thing and I have her to thank.

Seriously sit and take the time to appreciate life and give thanks today.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
