we all have dreams; they are unbreakable.

this world is ours, this ship is unsinkable.

Have you ever thought about what protects our hearts?
Just a cage of rib bones and other various parts.
So it’s fairly simple to cut right through the mess,
And to stop the muscle that makes us confess.

I like bright colours. I like lights reflecting on water. I like cities and noise. I like tall buildings and looking down from heights. I like sitting on counters and tables. I like the feeling of rain on my face. I like talking about bands that no one has ever heard of. I like the taste of energy drinks. I like bitter black coffee. I like making fun of people who don’t. I like pretending I know everything. I like dying my hair. I like attention.I like that I am part irsh and no-one realises. I like video games. I like the word catalyst. I like the word equilibrium. I like the words in Chemistry better than the facts. I like literature and long books. I like complex theories and logic. I like smiling. I like people who make me smile. I like being twisted and slightly evil. I like arguing. I like Starbucks coffee. I like wandering around town and trying to get lost. I like that I am amazing at directions. I like leading people around. I like being in control. I like adrenaline. I like danger. I like loud music with fast beats. I like slow music with deep lyrics. I like indie/hipster kids. I like scribbling in the margins of my coursework. I like texting during classes. I like when a certain person texts me. I like being kissed. I like handwritten notes and letters. I like words. I like when people use words. I like using words.

I like a lot of things, but I don’t like myself.
I don’t understand how you could love me.

At ten years old, I wanted pretty colours not sexual favours. When I was in primary school, there were always these superficial fads that determined whether you fit in or not. in year five, there were these jelly bracelets that everyone traded and wore in multitudes. Sold at local stores, they fit perfectly into the allowance budget of a school kid. While most kids wore them innocently in admiration of the way they looked, they held a different connotative meaning. These bracelets dubbed “sex bracelets” and each colour had a specific sexual meaning. The fad had filtered down from high school and college students, earning the attention of concerned adults. very few ten year olds actually knew the meaning of each coloured jelly bracelet, just that they meant something. What was first an act of conforming and wearing pretty colours soon became an act of rebellion. As teachers confiscated them, it became a game to wear them for as long as you could before getting in trouble. The sexual meanings meant little to us, yet adults still worried for our innocence. I think this is absolutely messed up, to ban something simply because it can be symbolic of things we were too young for.
