&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;You sit there, stare at the screen debating whether or not you should reply. You know you shouldn’t because well they walked out of your life so you wouldn’t want anything to to with them. But you can’t help but be curious on why they sent you a text in the first place or what is it that they want. So you don’t know what to do. Should you reply or just ignore it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I’m crying &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;this is triggering&lt;/strong&gt; but everyone should watch.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;everyone should just take 5 minutes of their time to watch this.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wow… im in tears over this. VERY powerful.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;brought to you by five finger death punch, a band youd most commonly call shit you cant understand &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;cried :c&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reblogging this again because it’s so fucking important. If someone you love is having these same issues, do something about it. Don’t wait until it’s too fucking late…. That guilt will eat you alive, believe me.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Going to reblog this on my other tumblrs because I think some of my followers need to see this. I cried. Everything about this is perfect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love this band,now I love them even more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So so so touching. It’s amazing how true it is.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;This is how you lose her. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You lose her when you forget to remember the little things that mean the world to her: &lt;span&gt;the sincerity in a stranger’s voice during a trip to the grocery, the delight of finding something lost or forgotten like a sticker from when she was five, the selflessness of a child giving a part of his meal to another, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;the scent of new books in the store, the surprise &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;short but honest notes she tucks in her journal and others you could only see if you look closely. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;You must remember when she forgets. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You lose her when you don’t notice that she notices everything about you: &lt;span&gt;your&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt; use of the proper punctuation that tells her continuation rather than finality, your silence when you’re about to ask a question but you think anything you’re about to say to her would be silly, your mindless humming when it is too quiet, your handwriting when you sign your name in blank sheets of paper, your muted laughter when you are trying to be polite, and more and more of what you are, which you don’t even know about yourself, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;because she pays attention. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;She remembers when you forget. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You lose her for every second you make her feel less and less of the  beauty that she is. When you make her feel that she is replaceable. &lt;em&gt;She wants to feel cherished.&lt;/em&gt; When you make her feel that you are fleeting. &lt;em&gt;She wants you to stay. &lt;/em&gt;When you make her feel inadequate. &lt;em&gt;She wants to know that she is enough and she does not need to change for you, nor for anyone else because she is she and she is beautiful, kind and good.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You must learn her. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You must know the reason why she is silent. You must trace her weakest spots. You must write to her. You must remind her that you are there. You must know how long it takes for her to give up. You must be there to hold her when she is about to. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You must love her because many have tried and failed. And she wants to know that she is worthy to be loved, that she is worthy to be kept.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And, this is how you keep her.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;small&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Accidentally close a tab? Ctrl+Shift+T reopens it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Bananas release dopamine, eat them when you’re sad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;CTRL+SHIFT+ESC is the one handed version of CTRL+ALT+DEL&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Don’t brush your teeth hard, it makes them sensitive and removes enamel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Don’t like spiders? Put citronella oil on your walls and they will not go there.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Drink one glass of water for every alcoholic drink you have, you’ll get drunk without getting a hangover.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Get clear ice cubes by boiling water before freezing it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Heal paper cuts and immediately stop the pain with chapstick.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;If you accidentally write on your dry erase board with a permanent marker, scribble over it with a dry eraser marker to remove it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;If your shoes smell, put them in the freezer overnight, it will kill the bacteria. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Make bug bites stop itching with a banana peel.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Make a paper longer with 12-point text, but 14-point periods and commas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Need to get around a blocked website at work? Try replacing the http:// with http&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong&gt;s&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span&gt;://&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Never send your resume as a word file (unless asked) Instead, save it to a pdf file, it’s much cleaner and professional looking.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Pick a flavor of gum you don’t normally chew, and chew it while studying during a test.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Place a piece of bread in a container with your homemade cookies and  they will stay soft.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Put a dry towel into a dryer with wet clothes, they will dry faster.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Put toothpaste on a pimple and it will dry out.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Practise fake smiling in the mirror every day before going to work/school, you’ll genuinely start to feel happier.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Rub canola/olive oil on knives before cutting onions, you won’t cry, alternatively chew gum and you won’t either.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Short on time with a wrinkled dress shirt? Hang it up in the bathroom while showering to steam it flat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;The night before, place things you don’t want to forget the next morning on top of your shoes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Use hydrogen peroxide to remove blood stains from clothing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;When cleaning windows use newspapers or coffee filters instead of paper towels, they will not leave streaks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;When microwaving bread products/pizza put a glass of water in with it, it will keep your bread from going spongy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;When you move into a new place you’re renting, take pictures of any and all damage, then post them on facebook (privately if preferred) so you can use the reference date as proof you didn’t do it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;span&gt;• &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;When searching plane tickets online delete your cookies prior, prices go up when you visit a site multiple times.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Maybe I could get an extra hour of sleep if I&amp;#8217;m just abit more selfish, but thankfully my dog keeps nudging me for company so I&amp;#8217;m not too bored.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Today my dad got my mom a new car. The most hilarious thing though, is that my dads shirt was inside out, and my mom noticed it. I didn&amp;#8217;t even realize it after 2 hours LOL. But thank you mommy, I&amp;#8217;m not the best son but I just hope you&amp;#8217;re proud. I love both my parents, its just indifferent to tell them when they already know, I mean its not like I have a problem telling them that, they know I love them so I don&amp;#8217;t have to say it, its our bond I guess. I just hope things go.well for my aunt&amp;#8230;. I know she misses my uncle&amp;#8230;&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://emptymindedthoughts.tumblr.com/post/50229858036</link><guid>http://emptymindedthoughts.tumblr.com/post/50229858036</guid><pubDate>Sun, 12 May 2013 00:39:14 -0500</pubDate><category>rant</category><category>j2013</category></item><item><title>"Poetry is my defence mechanism, engineered to cope up with the rest of the world"</title><description>“Poetry is my defence mechanism, engineered to cope up with the rest of the world”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Silent Rhymes (via &lt;a href="http://silentrhymes.tumblr.com/" class="tumblr_blog"&gt;silentrhymes&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://emptymindedthoughts.tumblr.com/post/50213833341</link><guid>http://emptymindedthoughts.tumblr.com/post/50213833341</guid><pubDate>Sat, 11 May 2013 20:45:58 -0500</pubDate></item><item><title>Short story #1</title><description>&lt;p&gt;Even beyond high school years, I still receive prank calls. After 14 years on duty you’d suppose society has progressed. People love thrashing upon officers as if we demote the standards of living. Funny how I entered the academy with the opposite mindset, but I guess I have to separate myself somehow right? Honestly, I doubt why few men/women sign up little regard to common courtesy and professional etiquette. Aside my personal rant, it’s just stressful around Halloween cause everyone decides to dress up, which isn’t too bad… but the fiends remain lurking amongst the midst. I guess some people assume they could capitalize off this kooky holiday and become courageous overnight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I cautiously approach the driveway where the dispatch reported a domestic disturbance between several teenagers. As I expected, a typical house party where some fortunate punk had an empty house for the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The wonders of life,” I murmured while grabbing my coat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The door took an extra budge today, maybe I should have realized it was a subtle sign to raise my guard as the night reeked an eerie chill that made me sweat down my spine. At this point, my nerves begin to twitch as I struggle to compose myself to control the situation. I constantly remind myself I’m only human, especially my wife. As I observed the surroundings, I thought to myself, know your environment. These kids are possibly on drugs &amp;amp; alcohol, stay patient. You already knew there would be red cups and shoes all over the front yard, but why is the neighborhood so empty? There’s only a single car per house, besides the sloppy parking near the party station. Where did the neighbors go? I hope I get at least a witness above 21 &amp;amp; sober. You could feel the base pulsating through the door as I knocked as loudly as I could. The corner of the blinds bend as they try to slyly peek at their unexpected guest. As the base died, you could hear shuffling and loud whispers as you’d expect teenagers to react. As I grew impatient, I tried to keep alert to hear for any stragglers sneaking out the backyard or anybody roaming the sidewalk. It just seemed so surreal, as if I’m the joke. I grew impatient and cleverly thought of a way to get them to open up.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“POLICE!! Stop what you’re doing before I convict every single one of you with failure to cooperate and tampering with evidence. Don’t make it worse for yourself, your cooperation could result in a temporary warning.” I honestly don’t know why I included the last clause, it clearly defeated my purpose of threatening them, but maybe they bought it. How can I be a cop and a good liar?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-to be continued&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://emptymindedthoughts.tumblr.com/post/49918680593</link><guid>http://emptymindedthoughts.tumblr.com/post/49918680593</guid><pubDate>Fri, 10 May 2013 12:30:00 -0500</pubDate><category>short story</category><category>creativewriting</category><category>ss1</category></item></channel></rss>
