You'll Never Walk Alone


"Here's to the kids.

The kids who would rather spend their night with a bottle of coke & Patrick or Sonny playing on their headphones than go to some vomit-stained high school party.
Here's to the kids whose 11:11 wish was wasted on one person who will never be there for them.
Here's to the kids whose idea of a good night is sitting on the hood of a car, watching the stars.
Here's to the kids who never were too good at life, but still were wicked cool.
Here's to the kids who listened to Fall Out boy and Hawthorne Heights before they were on MTV...and blame MTV for ruining their life.
Here's to the kids who care more about the music than the haircuts.
Here's to the kids who have crushes on a stupid lush.
Here's to the kids who hum "A Little Less 16 Candles, A Little More Touch Me" when they're stuck home, dateless, on a Saturday night.
Here's to the kids who have ever had a broken heart from someone who didn't even know they existed.
Here's to the kids who have read The Perks of Being a Wallflower & didn't feel so alone after doing so.
Here's to the kids who spend their days in photobooths with their best friend(s).
Here's to the kids who are straight up smartasses & just don't care.
Here's to the kids who speak their mind.
Here's to the kids who consider screamo their lullaby for going to sleep.
Here's to the kids who second guess themselves on everything they do.
Here's to the kids who will never have 100 percent confidence in anything they do, and to the kids who are okay with that.
Here's to the kids.
This one's not for the kids,
who always get what they want,
But for the ones who never had it at all.
It's not for the ones who never got caught,
But for the ones who always try and fall.
This one's for the kids who didnt make it,
We were the kids who never made it.
The Overcast girls and the Underdog Boys.
Not for the kids who had all their joys.
This one's for the kids who never faked it.
We're the kids who didn't make it.
They say "Breaking hearts is what we do best,"
And, "We'll make your heart be ripped of your chest"
The only heart that I broke was mine,
When I got My Hopes up too too high
.
We were the kids who didnt make it.
We are the kids who never made it."

Sometimes it feels like it was yesterday. We graduated high school, saying goodbye. That feeling that you get at seventeen or eighteen that nobody in the history of the world has ever been this close, has ever loved as fiercely or laughed as hard or cared as much. Sometimes it feels like it was yesterday and sometimes it feels like someone else’s memory.

Frog... oh no! Bald Prince!

Perhaps ten years ago, every girl in the world is crushing on this ex-Etonian His Royal Highness for his second-in-line to the throne, gorge face, DNA, status et al. Well, all grown up, except one thing........

his hair.

How far are dreams reached out by people?

It's holiday and it's time to really refresh my mind. I take this chance to start getting in touch with my old friends again--because i really suck in keeping in touch with old friends. It's probably the right time, since class of 2010 everywhere are going to college and we start to wonder everyday, where does my crush go to? And my childhood best friend? Is my bestie from junior high going to the same school as me? Will I meet my future husband in my college? The question goes on forever it's so scary how one can wonder so much. The start of college also raise new goals, new expectations and when you got the school you want, you think you'd reach your dreams. You know, when you think you've survived high school and then you can survive anywhere? Well, as an optimist, I do, believe that I, and you, or I mean we, can survive. We'd reach our dreams. But the questions is, so many people have been in our position before, how many of them actually did make their dreams come true? I don't like to be the one who break it to you, I don't wanna lower your expectations or say, "Don't dream too high!"--but those things happen to me. I broke down when I realised this. I mean... we're 16, 17 or maybe 18. Go ask the elders around you about being 17 and how you're gonna make your dreams come true. They'd say, "Come on, you're 17,"

We're not realistic, we're naïve. Well, maybe some of you think you're not, hey, that's just like me, I believe that I can do anything and I'll survive and I'll be successful... there's no doubt about it. But hey, every 17 year olds do that. Every single person in all of us. But see what's going on today? Great people don't come from the same class. They didn't sit next to each other when they were 17, so maybe, when you're sitting in a classroom, you'd think of yourself, "Oh, I'll be the most successful of them all." but they also think the same. Problem is, there's only one king and the rest will fall. It's like when Americans drill in their people's minds that they're the #1 nation in the world, but so do French, British, German, Indonesian and every country in the world. No one would wanna say, "We're #2 nation in the world!" Everyone wants to win.

It's hard for me to understand what dream really means right now. Don't worry, I still have them, they're important. But does being an adult would kill it? Because that's what adults are trying to tell us, it's good to have a dream, it's important, everyone has to have one. But not all of them can become true. Dreams are sweet. Some of us will get bitter as we get older, because disappointments are bitter and they keep coming in life.

I don't wanna grow up. but I can't wait to see my dreams come true. Sometimes I think Miley Cyrus is the luckiest kid in the world.

this post is written straight after reading Pungky's post, here she's my muse of the month :)

You'll be dancing once again like the pain will end


I admire those people who, after all these rejections and pains and sufferings, can still hold their heads up strong and face everything with smile. I like people whose life isn't always so smooth and easy, because the obstacles are what make them beautiful. I know that smile can't be true, but even if it's not, thank you for keeping your face beautiful with it. Rejections are what make the rest of your life worthwhile. Break a sweat now, while you're still strong and fine and dandy.

But I thought this is my life!

Hi. News flash: I'm officially a law student. In Indonesia. Goddamn. I was thisclose to be journalistic student in Bournemouth or Westminster. This is definitely not the most terrific moment in my life, as there are things with my best friend and people around me who seem to be very controlling or opinionated about me. I mean, can't people stop blaming me about choices that I made?? Can't people PLEASE stop asking me 'why' in every action I'm going to do, because you know what, 'WHY NOT' is being my answer. I thought this is my life and I get to control it, but why is everybody telling me what's what?! Hasn't it ever crossed your mind before that despite how idiotic I am, I'm smart enough to know what I want and what to choose for myself and will be fully responsible and committed to my own choice? I was just sharing with you, I don't need your opinion at all, especially if they just make me doubtful.

what's your you-might-think-i'm-dreaming-but-hell-yeah-i'll-show-you-what-i'm-capable-of list?

Dear you

You are the least person in this world I thought would ever turn this cold and bitter. I learned to open my heart and mind to the world and people from you, basically you changed the way I live. I thought life can't change who you are. I know you're mad at me, but honestly I never ever meant to turn my back on you. I'm sorry I acted like a spoiled brat and have been such a disappointment, I'm so sorry I was never a really good friend to you... but I hope you know that to me, you're my best friend. I hope you know that it upsets me how things changed in 3 years. Honestly if I could turn back time, I would. This isn't me just saying bullshit, this is me telling you the truth. I would turn back time if I could, even if it costs me the results I have right now. Because if you can't stand the pain, I'd take it away and make it my part, not yours. Because who knows I could be stronger than you? I think you still can't see the light in the dark side of this life, and how I tried to help you actually doesn't help, but I can see that light, so give me that, because I can make it better. I don't think you'd read this, but I hope without sweating to read, you can understand that this is how I feel.
