        Strange Pile of Good Clothes

        I once had a really wonderful cordless printer that my whole family chipped in to buy me for my 18th birthday. My parents wanted me to have a printer for college. Even before I got the chance to move into the dorm, the summer after I graduated, like the oblivious teen that I was when i was 18, I stepped on it. This was because it was underneath a pile of dirty clothes in my room.

        The printer just never worked the same again. I even tried to superglue it, but to no avail. What a stupid reason for a printer to break.

    • Eminem should never inspire a fashion choice.

      • I think most people regret going blonde, deep down.


        Oh the blonde hair. You know, I've been trying to grow out my hair for a long time, but I always seem to get bored and cut it really short. This time, I thought that maybe if I dyed it blonde, that would be drastic enough and I wouldn't cut it. I was wrong.
        Not only did I cut it, but it looked rather misplaced on my head.

    • Dear Seventeen: A Letter to myself from High School

      • What does one say to oneself from an earlier season? Does one admonish? rebuke? celebrate?

        I prefer to set myself free.


        Tyler Jumping off of a Cliff

        Dear Seventeen,

        Well, life seems to be getting dark, doesn't it? I'm sorry to say, but it will get worse before it gets better. There is no way out now, it seems. Your actions are now affecting more than just you, but you can't see that now.

        The truth is this: You can't change. You're trapped.

        There is no way out and God has certainly abandoned you. You feel a strange satisfaction in your isolation, and that is what will keep you there for a very long time.

        You are angry at God. He is a fool, naive and shallow, unfamiliar with the inner-workings of your heart, the complex traps of thought in your mind. He knows nothing of the exquisite pain of a teenage girl, nor does He care. He is aloof and uninterested and full of wrath and silence.

        You know that you are certainly right about all of this, and soon you will prove it to everyone and to yourself by settling under the heavy burden of grief and guilt and rage, bearing it up with expert rhetoric and sarcasm.

        But it's only the beginning. Yes, I'm sorry to say there is much more suffering ahead for you.

        You're hurt, and you're angry, and you're making destructive choices because you feel that you are losing control. And you are. You'll give in and you'll fall down into the pit of shame and worthlessness and you'll grow cold and stony. It's already happening, I'm afraid.

        You're afraid. And you should be. You're walking a thin line, and you're about to fall. You'll slip off the edge and fall farther and farther and farther and you'll be falling for so long that one day you'll wake up to the violent landing at the bottom, realizing that you had forgotten you were falling at all.

        You are tragically foolish, but you are not wicked. We will be waiting at the bottom, God and I. We will catch you. So just let yourself fall.

        See you soon,
        Twenty-something
