im kendall pleased to meet you. i was born february seventh in a nice beachy town in southern california with my parents. i blog to express, not to impress-i like to think of my blog as a journal. i often post pictures of happy people because happy people are pretty and they make me happy, at least for that one insta-second.

for the most part, i think people all turn out to be what they swore they’d never become. dont get me wrong, there are some exceptions to that, and those people make me very happy. but honestly, most people suck like a vacuum. and i don’t really like them.

i do, however, like food. and tumblr. i also highly enjoy music. weird music. i like rain, and the sun. water fascinates me. it has this way of slowing everything down while you’re submerged in it. it’s like nothing matters. i guess thats why i like the ocean so much.

when i was little, i had these big dreams about changing the world. but now i think the world changed me. i dont really know who i am. sometimes, late at night, i think very hard about it and attempt to figure it out. but something tells me i’ll never really know. i guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. and maybe we’ll never know most of them. but even if we don’t have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. we can still do things. and we can try to feel okay about them.

i’ve learned that you can’t live in the past, or you’ll never be able to see the present. things change. and friends leave. life doesn’t stop for anybody. i’d rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in a magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. the function of man is to live, not to exist. i don’t want to waste my days trying to prolong them. i want to use my time. because you know what? the real world does not start when you graduate high school, or when you reach the legal drinking age, or any of that. you’ve been in the real world your whole life. so go live it, and enjoy it. because it’s happening.
