Honest to God, Lennie an’ me ain’t never gonna be able to settle down if he don’t learn to keep his gosh darn paws off other people’s stuff. They don’t git Lennie’s jes a big lug with a big heart. Everybody else jes cares bout themselves and their own needs. Sometimes I wonder what that’d be like … I jes gotta keep Lenny outta Curley’s sight. That little punk’s got it out for Lennie.

Look here, George. You’re a nice fella, but you know what you gotta do. Lennie’s jes like a kid and don’t fit into this man’s world. You’ve spent your life lookin’ out fer him, but you’re always gonna be runnin’ to keep one step ahead of trouble. I can tell you from experience that this here ranch is a place where you can make a good name for yourself, make good money, and let loose in town on a Saturday night without any worries. You ain’t gettin’ any younger, George.

Nobody understands what i'm going through. Just sitting here waiting for the next doctors appointment . Ive been going to these stupid support groups that my mom thinks helps me but it really doesn't. The only good thing thats actually come from it is theres this new guy named Augustus. He knows what i'm going through and how it feels to die inside.
ReplyDeleteTrust me... I know how you feel.

I know how you feel.
DeleteIt seems like it's been forever since I've been outside. For the longest time all I've ever known is this room. Sometimes in my loneliest moments I like to count. I count everything I've ever known. The four walls that stand as my cage, the cracks in these walls, the tiles on the floor, how many people have hated me for even being born. If I count long enough, I start to forget I'm not allowed to wish for things anymore and wish for the thing I've wanted most for my entire life: a friend. But that's never going to happen. Not while I have these dangerous hands of mine that can kill with just the minimum of human contact with them. It's not my fault, I tell myself. It's not, it's not, it's not...

ReplyDeleteWhen me and my husband found out coltons appendix blew i fell to my knees balling. Hes so young doesnt deserve to go through this. Me and my husband have been waiting and praying and asking god to give us a blessing that colton will be okay when everything is ok again and coltons health is better my husband is planning on bringing coltons story to share at our church to show how strong colton is
ReplyDeleteI Thought we were safe in Brighton at least that what my grand ma said. The dreamy Ana is so nice when I fell down the stairs like an idiot she wasn't mean about it. Ana grandma is so crazy she wants us to get together it's so weird. I get to start school tomorrow I went to freshman transition day which was awkward cuz I'm a junior. This guy named Landon showed me around the school. This girl named Taylor sat by me at the assembly she has a deep southern accent.
ReplyDeleteI know my parents told me that we were safe but now.. my father is dead
DeleteA person is smart. People are dumb, panicky animals and you know it. Fifteen Hundred years ago, everybody knew that the earth was the center of the universe. Fifteen hundred years ago, everybody knew that the earth was flat. And fifteen minutes ago, you knew that people were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.

You have a deep logic, i totally understand what point youre trying to get across
DeleteI can't believe my dad dragged me & my brother across the world just because I've been a little depressed lately. I don't know what he's expecting. I'm the reason my mom got in the car accident. I'm the reason she's dead. Does he really expect me to just move on from that? & so what I was in a mental hospital for awhile? I'm not crazy. I see ghosts. But I'm not crazy I swear! I really see them! Just because all of this happened to me does not give him a reason to drag me & my brother to a stupid Inn in Ireland. He's never even home! He's always "traveling" for work. He had to hire a stupid nanny to take care of us, Ms.Akin. Oh well she seems nice. & the spirit of Ian Mackinngton seems really nice as well... & really cute.

Exactly how I feel people just don't understand:
DeleteSo yeah my mom died and so I had to move to a new place so I know how you feel

Everywhere I look, there are signs of struggle. The mail has been scattered all over the kitchen floor; the stools are overturned. The phone has been knocked off its pedestal, its battery pack hanging loose from an umbilicus of wires. There's one single faint footprint at the threshold of the living room, pointing toward the dead body of my son, Jacob.
ReplyDeleteHOUSE RULES, Emma
I don't know what to do. I got in a car crash and am currently in a coma. My Mom, Dad, and brother died in the crash and I don't know whether I should decide to die or live. The answer seems simple, to die because I lost my entire family, but it's not. I still have my boyfriend, Adam, who I am madly in love with. Do you think I should stay, or go?
ReplyDelete-Mia, If I Stay
My son and family know how you feel
DeleteLegally Changing my name to blue avenger is slowly day by day fixing me from being so gloomy about my father's death.And till this day I am still keeping my promise to my dad and that is to abolish handguns,I swear right hand up to Jesus I will especially since I have my lucky new nom de plume. And I'm also slowly winning the love of Omaha Nebraska,she is like the love of my life but has no clue.....yet,but remember this where there is handguns there is me.

I know where you are coming from i was abducted and didnt know what my name was for a while and i dont know my parents . I dont know if i even have parents
DeleteIt's the second day of living in hell. I mean Ireland. My dads already no where to be found. I don't care about that as much as I care about the fact I can't find Ian. I mean I know it's stupid trying to look for a spirit, because sometimes they just don't want to be found... But I'm worried. This girl (ghost I mean) with long brown braids and this old creepy green dress was staring at me when I passed the cementary today with my loving brother Shane... I don't know why but she gave me the worst feeling in the world... I don't know where Ian is, but I hope he comes back soon...
ReplyDelete-Riley, The Deepest Cut
It's ok you need to try to find your dad. My father dissaperd a very kind time ago and I don't even know what he looks like I'm trying my best to find out where he is and you need to as well
DeleteEvery day i wonder where my dad is. I only live with my mom but I have one video of my dad. When I was little I was attacked by a dog and my father had a video of him reading a book to me. Ever since I got that video I haven't seen him. I still play that video every day just to hear his voice. My mom try's to make me feel better but there is nothing she can do. Lately she's been acting suspicious and I'm thinking it's about my father. She works at a elderly home where she takes care of old people. I'm gonna find out what she's hiding from me

Yes I threw pizza at the most popular guy in school ,but I can't let my best friend get made fun of! I just hope I didn't ruin my chance at student council president. If I lose that I not only am humiliated, but I lose my chance at a good college. This is my last year here and I want to make the best of it!
ReplyDeleteI have to go to this weird college in the middle of these woods and its surrounded by walls with barb wire. This school gives me the creeps. I hope I am just scared and its not a bad school.
ReplyDeleteI sometimes wonder if the grievers had gotten me if i would have a better life, but then again i wouldnt have a life.My name is Thomas. Me and a couple of my fellow gladers made it out of the maze but know we are stuck in a deserted city and now we have to escape.
ReplyDeleteMy mom and and dad are never home, my brother is always with his french girlfriend, and my sister is in Africa. Im the outcast of my family because I'm really fat and they are all fit. At least i have my trombone player boyfriend Froggy.
ReplyDeleteI know how u feel
DeleteI know how you feel. I am a complete outcast of my family because they all love rock and played in rock bands when they were younger. I also have a boyfriend, Adam, who also loves rock and plays in a rock band. I, however, play the cello and I love classical music. I even got a scholarship at Juliard for playing cello.
DeleteHi I am Carter Moon I helps out in my parents’ deli, I am about to graduate high school with some great friends, I love the small town of Little, CA. The problem? Well, there are a few. One, i have no content with my current life that and I haven't made any plans for beyond high school. Two, i take on too much responsibility for my brother’s gambling addiction. And three, i am completely unprepared for the impact the filming of a Hollywood movie in Little will have on my nice, quiet life.
ReplyDeleteMarcus and I wanted to play basketball for college after high school. Until we made a boneheaded idea to make some quick cash
DeleteMarcus and I dimt have a lot of money...so when my grandpa died o had an idea to sell the gun. And now I'm here with my bestfriend Marcus in a strangers car at gunpoint... Dude I've never been scared scared so shitless im my life.
ReplyDeleteIm not exactly the most coordinated person in life. A series of unfortunate events usually begin to occur because of my.....persona. Just how I carry myself and i get myself caught up in situations that are most likely going to end up in a mishap. My roommate is a dog and i have many people to cause shenanigans with.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could be you. You actually have people to talk to. I have nobody. I'm all alone in this tiny room, with nothing to do....
DeleteWhere i live in district twelve its a dark boring life and we do the same thing every day. I sneek out in to the woods with my friend sometimes and hunt but i have to hide my bow because we arent allowed to have wepons.
