Venture outside tonight

i am outside right now, trying to find the stars on this cloudy summer night. i've been outside for a few hours, trying to find the right words to say to 24 thousand.

i love summer nights. there's just something so intimate and limitless about them. 

i once showed a boy the stars i loved the most. i eventually fell more in love with him than the stars. he told me, on a night much like this, that he didn't love me. i've been learning that it's impossible to stop loving someone.
after he left, i went about "finding myself." i boxed myself up and then forced myself out. through this, i realized that everything has its natural flow. in some cases, the best way to make something happen is to let it happen. 
take a moment tonight and go outside to see the stars. i'll be watching them with you.
----------------------------
a list of things i can't leave out:
- "the fall" by rhye
- humans of new york
- project unbreakable 
- alpha phi omega
on a side note, if you are a veterinarian or work with animals, i would truly appreciate it if you wrote to me about yourself and your occupation.
i turn 20 in two weeks (!!!). i would appreciate any stories or advice about your 20's.
i would also like to thank sam for her love, elyse for her friendship, and sean, for loving cats.

21,612 is a lot

Hi, everyone. I'm a teenaged girl. I'm not arrogant enough to think that I know much about the world. I'm 18, a freshman in college, and I struggle every day trying to see into the future: into what might be, where I might go. Recently I've decided that my destiny in life is to be a high-school biology teacher, but ask me again later and perhaps that will have changed. One thing I feel passionate about is body modification. Somehow my standards of beauty have developed in a way that put piercings, tattoos, implants and scarification at the forefront. However, my parents have threatened to cut off their funding for my education if I modify myself in any way. I already have piercings, and though my family will never see them due to their private locations, I would love to be able to share this important part of my life with them and express myself through modification in a more public way. Essentially, they have rejected my lifestyle, and through this, they have ...

Tiny wings

Hi all, I want to write about a subject that is very close to my heart - bees! I started bee keeping last year, and have two colonies right now. These two already managed to supply my family and my friends with more than enough honey, and keeping the bees is a tremendously satisfying activity. They smell so good, and are very tidy animals, and are just very, very interesting overall. The insects' way of dealing with the world is just so very different from how we as mammals approach it - it seems almost alien. Anyways, what is probably most impressive is the workload these little animals deal with. For one kilo of honey, they visit 4 million flowers, and fly a distance equivalent of more than 4 times around the earth. Think about that for a second. And then, if you start to think about how they "furniture" their housing themselves by the wax they sweat out, how they can control temperature inside the hive to the tenth of a degree, how they collectively make decisions i...
