Life is too short to hold such disdain for certain seasons - there are things to love about each.

My Secret Garden

I'm going to grow beautiful plants and make a peaceful garden filled with life and stone walkways and ivy covered arches and no one can stop me!

Being True To Yourself Shouldn't Be This Painful To Others

The look in my father's eyes when he saw my tattoo was worse than when he learned that I had intended to move out without his permission, the oddness of which does not escape my grasp.

Even though no one can see my tie dye bootlaces, they make me feel happy.

They tore down my flowers because they were deemed 'not pretty enough' by a board of meddling old biddies with nothing better to do than to destroy the self esteem of helpless young plants and then having the audacity to charge us for it.

Because, This Is Totally Helpful

On the day of the highly anticipated change of OS, my hard drive died upon restarting - leaving me without my old system and with but a teasing taste of the new one.
