Day 20 - A song that you listen to when you’re angry.
When you’re filled with angst, you can never go wrong with a little Linkin Park blaring from your headphones.
- Previous suicide attempts.
- Verbally threatening suicide.
- Giving away prized possessions.
- Collecting and discussing methods of suicide.
- Expressions of hopelessness and anger at oneself and/or the world.
- Writing, talking, reading, and drawing about death and/or depression.
- Suggesting that the person would not be missed if s/he were gone.
- Self-injury.
- Recent loss of a friend or family member through death or suicide.
- Sudden and dramatic decline in academic performance.
- Eating disorders, sleeplessness, excessive sleeping, chronic headaches.
- Use (or increased use) of mind-altering substances.
- Loss of interest in sex, hobbies, and other activities previously enjoyed.
9 out of 13. Hmm. What does this say about me?
For 4 years, I’ve been dealing with this inner turmoil. To off myself or not. To finally rest or still suffer through years of ups and downs.
9 out of 13.
Me being alive? It’s a miracle. Am I still hoping for my Great Perhaps? I don’t think so. Maybe I’m just seeing how long I’ll last. Maybe.
Day 18 - A song that you wish you heard on the radio.
White Lies are a very understated band. I got no complaints on them not being overplayed, but I wish the DJs played songs like these more often than they play tween shit or auto-tuned tracks. The world deserves to hear meaningful songs.
And I bet my bottom dollar she’s gonna cry like that 3-year old girl crying over Justin Bieber when she sees Demi.
Day 16 - A song that you used to love but now hate.
I loved this song so much two years ago, until everyone plus your neighbor’s cousin’s dog started doing covers of the song while the radio blare it out once every 15 minutes.
I still adore the band, though.
Day 15 - A song that describes you.
I know you haven’t made your mind up yet,
But I would never do you wrong.
I’ve known it from the moment that we met,
No doubt in my mind where you belong.
Make You Feel My Love - Adele
—————————————————————
I have a certain air of melancholia surrounding my persona for quite a while now. Sad. Wistful. Calm acceptance of what may or may not be. But, damn. I’m such a hopeless romantic through and through. Whatever happens, I believe in us.
It’s so eerie how Idina Menzel and Lea Michele look so much alike. The similarities doesn’t end there. They’re both:
- great singers.
- amazing theater actors.
- been accepted to the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.
- Idina was born in New York, while Lea grew up in New Jersey. Close enough.
Creepy, yes?
- Sole: What did you do while I was gone?
- Me: Read a book.
- Sole: Which one?
- Me: Looking For Alaska.
- Sole: Is that an atlas?
- My girlfriend, ladies and gentlemen. *bows*
- P.S. She was joking. Lol.
Day 14 - A song that no one would expect you to love.
Note: My first choice was supposed to be Stay, but the file was too large. D;
I am not a fan of the Jonas Brothers, but you have got to give Nick props for songwriting. For a musician his age, he comes out with pleasantly-surprising songs you’ll never expect to like or relate to. His voice, however…I just wish he didn’t screech the songs when he reaches for high notes or tries singing in falsetto. It makes him sounds like a cat in heat.
Yeah. Great one-minute reaction, though. I’m just being needy.
