Stopping at nothing and doing what’s in your heart that you know is right …is Determination. Doing more than is...

“loving you is like breathing, how can i stop?” sent me over the fucking edge. as true as this shit may be, quit sounding like everyone is in the same kind of love

sorry. go out and make your own brand of happiness, quit buying the knock offs.

While Edward’s first scent of Bella nearly sends him into a homicidal frenzy, he is ultimately shown to be capable of controlling his bloodlust as well as the more human, sexual kind. Bella, on the other hand, is never...

Today, I over drafted my account, and I ended up paying an extra 35 bucks for a 1.99 item. It was an application on the iPhone that is suppose to help me keep track of my money. FML

OH MY GOD AN O/S FOR TUMBLR.
No lie, that was my first thought. Everyone wants to be popular, Tumblr popular that is which means people are posting this steady stream of consciousness just to keep their...
Wanting to change the world sounds so cliched, but...
Nobody said it would be easy, they just said it...
