Hide and Seek
Just a beautiful musics video from Imogen Heap. The lyrics are absolutely amazing. I consider it a perfect visual representation for when you are confused, lost, shocked, sad, and scared. I do not own this video.
Realistic ECT
A TED video about electro-compulsive therapy from someone who has undergone treatment. Since I have a mental illness, I want to share this.

Letting Go
I'm falling out of my first love. I'm glad I found a new one that means way more than the other guy. Here's two perfect quotes found here and here.
“He was a major part of your life; of course you’ll miss him; it’s perfectly normal. It’s like getting a tooth pulled out; after the dentist pulls it, you’re relieved. But how many times do you run your tongue over the spot where it once was ? Probably a hundred times a day.just because it was hurting you, doesn’t mean you don’t notice it. It leaves a gap, and sometimes you see yourself missing it terribly. It’s going to take a while, but it always takes some time. Should you have kept the tooth? No, because it was causing you pain. Pulling the tooth was the right decision, but it’s still going to hurt.”
"I just wanted to feel....like I meant something, to someone. Like there was someone who cared. And you made me feel that way.

Someday, I will have a life.
It will be fulfilling and complicated and hilarious and tiring and real. And fun. There will be work and alcohol and sex and public transportation and way more coffee than is healthy. There will be different cities within each year, and art, and better friends than I have now. There will be responsibility and sleep and maybe even, someday, children. And a crush like the one I have on you won't matter at all.
But today I am 17 and unusually lonely for my age and you matter much more than you should.
Here's more, found at the main page to the second link above.
"I just discovered that you're no longer the first name that pops up in my Facebook search when I type the letter "d.""
"I'm sorry I got attached when I wasn't supposed to."
"I know you're a people person. You can't help it. But sometimes, you come off as a bit of a flirt. And it breaks my heart. Because I think I'm special, but then I realize, you're just being you, and you see me the same way you do every other girl in the world."
"And then there's the few of us that know what it's like to love someone with a burning passion that we know will leave us burnt out in the end. We feel it get more intense and swear we'll stop, after one more kiss, one more text, one more time. We swear it'll get better, and if it doesn't we'll leave for sure.
"I am happy and I can be happy and I have a right to be happy. There are days where my memories linger on moments that were uniquely ours and the jokes we shared and the letters which still remain in the lower right drawer of my desk but there they will stay. You are there. I am here and I am determined to be happy and not wondering if I deserve it. I love you, I think a part of me always will. But I'm letting it all go. I have to and more than anything I want to because before there was ever an us, there was just me and that was always more than enough."

We feel it get more intense and swear we'll stop, after one more kiss, one more text, one more time. We swear it'll get better, and if it doesn't we'll leave for sure.
But we know we won't. Somewhere inside of us, that little voice of reason and honesty whispers, "Even if you had a thousand reasons to leave, you would look for just one to stay." That voice is right. Because, the way I see it, when you truly, really, without a doubt are one hundred percent commited and in love with another person, nothing and I repeat, nothing can stop you from waiting day after day after restless day for that person. But when that person makes it crystal clear that they don't feel the same way, either through actions despite their words, or words despite their contradicting actions, something in us shatters. It hurts more than anything because those incredibly strong feelings are so hard to come by. But don't let it break your heart, don't let it tear you down. Don't start speeding through new people, new relationships, and new experiences to try to forget the pain. It won't take away the pain. It'll make it even worse. Because everytime you close your eyes and feel someone else's lips, you'll open them only to realize they don't belong to the person whom your heart belongs to."
"I keep wanting to write our story over and over and over again with different tonal inflections and metaphors and maybe some alexandrines wrapped around the whole affair so each time it gets more romantic and clouded and maybe it'll end up differently. Maybe instead of planes we could exist in a world with submarines in the sky. Maybe black could be white, maybe everything could be topsy turvy, maybe we'd fall in love.

Maybe instead of planes we could exist in a world with submarines in the sky. Maybe black could be white, maybe everything could be topsy turvy, maybe we'd fall in love.
But the truth is that I'm just a girl struggling to get over a boy who, at the end of the day, has no feelings for me. And no matter how I write it, things will never change."
"Every story has an ending. Our ending wasn't a happy one. And that's ok. Now I'm looking for new and better stories.
But sometimes my mind drifts back to our story. The story that I have shelved and all but forgotten. Sometimes I wish that I could pick it up, wipe the dust off, happily turn through the worn pages, and relive our story again. And even though I know what's going to happen, and even though I know that it's not going to have a happy ending, I want to revisit our story, like an old, familiar friend, just to re-read the chapters that made me smile."
"You've been hiding from me for weeks, even months! What did I do to you personally that made you propel from me?
I've been trying to forget about you, and for some sick reason, I thought we had a chance together.
I'm lying to myself to think that I can find someone better than you. But truth is, I really cannot say anything bad about you.
Except your eyes because you couldn't see that I was in love with you."
I guess that's why I fell for you.
The you turned around and treated me like I was nothing.
I guess that's why I'm heartbroken."
Funny Signs
Makes you think. I found these here via StumbleUpon. I did not come up with these. I'm not that talented.
1.) If you set yourself on fire somehow, DO NOT RUN!
2.)if you find an arrow, pin it against the wall with your shoulder.
3.) If you are sprayed with an unknown, possibly poisonous substance, do not get help. Instead, stand and ponder about it.
4.) If a building falls on you, use a flashlight to lift the debris right off you!
5.) To prevent diseases, wash with 1 armless hand under a facet with no sink.
6.)Humans, dead fish, and the biohazard sign are at risk of being sucked into a time vortex.
7.) If a door is closed, karate chop it open.
8.) Try to absorb as much radiation as you can with your groin. The current record is 5 minutes 12 seconds.
9.) If you have deformed hands, close the window. No one wants to see that.
10.) If you hear horrible music, run like hell or cower.
11.) Radioactive materials come in a wide variety of sizes to suit your need: individual, family size, neighborhood can, and supersize.
12.) Your telephone may be a physician in disguise. Look for a phone with no numbers on it.
13.) Your closet door leads to Hell. Do not open it!
14.) A one inch thick piece of plywood is sufficient protection against radiation.

A Journey to Saturn
Saturn is my favorite planet. The video starts off a bit dry, but gets better. It gives you a new perspective of our place in the universe. There's also geology in it! Yes, another TED video.

Choking Creativity?
Another TED video found here. I guess I have to say it: we are living in a digital world. So much stuff is available that copyright are going to have to change, and making them stricter is not going to help. We spread culture through the viral world.
Newspaper Nails
I am addicted to nail polish. I have probably over fifty shades I do not do much design, mainly because I am lazy. Here's something I did today that was fairly quick and easy.
I did not make this video.
