You left and sailed away alone
And you got me trapped up on this island.
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

But there is one grammatical mistake that I particularly enjoy encountering. It has become almost fun for me to come across people who take the phrase “a lot” and condense it down into one word, because when someone says “alot,” this is what I imagine: The Alot is an imaginary creature that I made up to help me deal with my compulsive need to correct other people’s grammar. It kind of looks like a cross between a bear, a yak and a pug, and it has provided hours of entertainment for me in a situation where I’d normally be left feeling angry and disillusioned with the world.
For example, when I read the sentence “I care about this alot,” this is what I imagine: Similarly, when someone says “alot of _______”, I picture an Alot made out of whatever they are talking about.
If someone says something like “I feel lonely alot” or “I’m angry alot,” I’m going to imagine them standing there with an emo haircut, sharing their feelings with an Alot. The Alot is incredibly versatile.
So the next time you are reading along and you see some guy ranting about how he is “alot better at swimming than Michael Phelps,” instead of getting angry, you can be like “You’re right! Alots are known for their superior swimming capabilities.”
I'm gonna give away all my secrets
to a deaf man.

I WANNA FEEL RECKLESS.
I WANNA LIVE IT UP, JUST BECAUSE.

I get so high when you're with me but crash and crave you when you leave.
ANGELLI!
and the hardest part of living is taking breaths to stay
Hey hey.
I'm a relatively good girl. I eat my veggies. I have an absolutely sweet tooth and I like gummy worms and candy floss although they make me look kiddish most of the time. I absolutely adore babies and toddlers and I often go gaga over them.
-That's me

with a pat on the back, they say, "honey, it's time to move on."
OUR FIRST ENCOUNTER WAS BY CHANCE,
THE SECOND WAS DESTINY.
