    Favorite Websites

    Any suggestions for when I'm bored on the internet? Please list [or post] the link/website and a brief line or two [though a few words shall suffice] about the site itself. I'm looking for sites all over the web, doesn't really matter content-wise, though I really enjoy art-directed and...

    Cancer...amongst other things.

    I never thought anyone I knew would ever get cancer. And I never really thought twice when someone said 'my grandparent' is dying of it. I never really figured how deeply someone's illness [outside of your immediate family] could affect one's outlook. I suppose I never really realized too just...

    16 and addicted.

    Hello all. I suppose I'm posting this to be completely honest with myself and the world. I am addicted to nicotine, caffeine, and self-destruction in all forms. Ever since last year I have been smoking. I have friends who are younger than me with even stronger and worse addictions, but I'm...

    New username - returned after two years!

    Hello all! My real name is Lauren and my old ChristianForums username was SwItChFoOt_FrEaK09. Though I have grown out of my Switchfoot phase, I still respect their music, either way, I felt a need to revisit the site and change my username as my life has taken numerous turns since I've been on...

    companions vs. kindred spirits.

    we used to stand in awe of you. your spirit so distant and lofty. far above our modern expectations-- you seemed so different than us, the way you spoke your thoughts, the way you drank your coffee. only last night i found out we smoke the same cigarettes, frequent the same shady concert venues...

    stubborn old man.

    my insufficiencies matched against your unattainable accomplishment. you had me beat before we got here. every flaw visible is magnified by your harsh words. but i take it, them pounding the back of my mind. inferior. dumb. naive. we don't really know eachother- [though i've known you for...

    soul view, above the city.

    the way i see things, i am above the skyline looking down through your apartment window. i see your thoughts like words in a comic strip. you are small, i am infinite. my entity engulfing the city and sunset in a warm blanket, i sing you to sleep with the wind. and in my arms you're small, yet...

    life story & the hands of humanity.

    paper-thin skin with a tear in the corner. warm heavy hands push hard against the wound - binding together the soul and the body. keeping the unknown and known separate for a time. life words etched into the canvas of your face, telling all you've seen in permanent ink, keeping you grounded...

    dead-end.

    on a path to nowhere, old dreams fading fast. bleak past far behind her, the future, now, is vast.

    something like erosion.

    how long does it take for the soul to wear down, skin to wear thin, emotions run dry? how long does it take to stop caring at all, to wallow in sin, to no longer cry? how long does it take to shut them all out, hold yourself in, pass them all by? how long does it take to change how you live...

    false medic.

    Your diseased place of origin has faded into grey, Lost, your identity. Feeble, your thoughts. Pull yourself together, my needle and thread are for emergencies only. But you, you're a hopeless case. And your emergency, long ago-- The stitches have since come undone. Only you can fix this now.

    somewhere between reality and a daydream.

    Watching the sky turn blue on a mellowed winter day, we sat in silence, taking in the beauty of such a moment, and I felt the threads between us tighten. Moments later, feeling fully alive, we danced freely, as others gathered to stare, but we kept on dancing, prancing, laughing - when you're...
