Day 3: 3. When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
So far, the unfortunate answer is yes.
I have all of these ideas and dreams that I vocalise, but the fact is that there’s not much I’ve been able to do about them whilst I’ve been stuck in school and without a licence.
I would hope that if I was asked this again in 5 years, the answer would be very different.
my favorite thing about tumblr is you can have a really meaningful and personally significant post followed immediately by a post about butts and no one questions it or finds it unusual

An Athlete: What was the greatest moment in sports history?
Me: Viktor Krum caught the snitch but Ireland won.
I am a size 0 and my thighs touch. There will never be a thigh gap, even if I lost two stone.
Yes, I do, and I fucking hate it.
Yes but I love it

Day 2: 2. Which is worse, failing or never trying?
Definitely never trying.
Never trying is basically deciding to not achieve what you want to, which is basically failing. And even from failing as a result of trying, you at least learn something - a way that doesn’t work.
I like to watch people. Sometimes I ride the subway all day and look at them and listen to them. I just want to figure out who they are and what they want and where they’re going. […] And you know what? People don’t talk about anything. No, not anything. They name a lot of cars or clothes or swimming-pools mostly and say how swell! But they all say the same things and nobody says anything different from anyone else.
