in order of occurence

• My Family,
  • Is a memory I'm not so sure I'd keep if nothing else. At this point it still plagues me, even if the pinch has dulled. Looking at a picture is like looking at you standing right in front of me. Except the room is clouded, and it blocks out how we used to be. Which I think hurts more. I'd rather forget the whole thing altogether than to have this feeling that I know there used to be something. You're a stranger with a familiar face
• When I walked into Ingu's room
  • He picked me up to give me a hug and he didn't kiss me. He just looked at me into my eyes. Though his were probably superficial, they looked deeper than any I had seen
• Silverchair in NYC 07
  • A band I've wanted to see since the 7th grade. That didn't tour anymore. Ana's Song made me cry, but I hid it. And I got to go with Kaitlin, my oldest friend, the only one I would have wanted there.
• September 2, 2007
  • When you did my dreadlocks. It's amazing how I could be sitting right there next to you, but in a differently place entirely. I love that you did them for me and gave me that experience. It was the most peaceful I remember being and a feeling I can't describe. I suppose it's true you can go into a zen. On top of that, she took me to the ocean. I don't think I've ever described what happened there. I get made fun of for it by her now, but at the time, it was amazing. My heart belongs at the ocean, and the connection I had with it that night was more than I could ask for.
• "I get by with a little help from my friends"
  • In the street with Chelsey and Heather. I wish Meghan could have been there. But we have Ethopia for ourselves.
• The night on the beach with Tim
  • When it was burning a hole in my mind to tell him how I felt about him. Where I realized if I let myself I can feel toward people again
