Top 10 Songs For The Scorned Lover

So there are lots of times when I’d rather listen to music rather than write down or talk about my thoughts. It is truly a comfort to know that someone might have felt the same way as I did. These songs are ready-made statements for my sentiments.

If you’re looking for ballads and tear-jerkers, you won’t find ‘em here. This is my personal collection of angst-filled break up songs.

1. “Gives You Hell” by All-American Rejects. Blunt, real and a sure-fire hit.
2. “You Oughtta Know” by Alanis Morrisette. On full blast while cleaning up the mess. :)
3. “Don’t Speak” by No Doubt. I first heard this song when I was in fourth grade and I still love it.
4. “The Brilliant Dance” by Dashboard Confessional. So you bury all your lover’s clothes and burn the letters lover wrote but it doesn’t make any better. ‘Nuf said.
5. “Good F*cking Bye” and “Radio” by Alkaline Trio. Matt Skiba sounds like a veteran of break-ups. Though both songs are easy to listen to, they’re actually filled with so much angst. And I love em. Haha.
6. “Best I Ever Had” by Vertical Horizon. It’s not so bad, you’re just the best I ever had. I remember a male friend who sings this everytime he gets dumped. Each ex was the best for him. LOL. :|
7. “Love Hurts” by Incubus. But sometimes it’s a good hurt and it feels like I’m alive. Songs like this will get you by.
8. “Tea and Sympathy” by Jars of Clay. For the immediate post break-up moment.
9. “The Fight Is Over” by Urbandub. Gave all this time just to be let down.
10.  “Stitches and Burns” by Fra Lippo Lippi. A poetic masterpiece.

Runners up: Die MF Die by Dope, Cry Me A River by Justin Timberlake, I Don’t Love You by MCR. :D

I'm one pathetic monster.

Being in bed is hell. Waking and sleeping is too arduous for me; my mind can't seem to stop having memory marathons. I sleep late, I wake up late.

I went out alone. My first soloflight drinking experience. Drinking alone is fun, with a hint of sarcasm.

I am not myself. I am useless. I'd rather go out than stay at home. Idle moments bore holes into my heart.

Emo. That's who I am. Can I save myself from all of this?

I know I need to divert my attention but I can't.

I'm not crying every night. I'm not drunk all week. I am just plain sad. I don't know what I want but I know what I don't want.

It's not good for me to be alone during this times. And yet I am.

All of these things seem to say one thing. Hello depression.

It's been a month since we broke up. I'm like a car stuck in mud and my engines are roaring, almost on the brink of exhaustion. I want all of the drama to stop.

I just want to bounce back. Be productive. Smile again.

I know I'm on my way there.

Summer Nostalgia

I was supposed to share this album last March. But hey, I think photographs tend to hold so much memory as they age. 

"Another sun-soaked season fades away.."

"You have stolen my heart.."

 "Launched a thousand ships in my heart so easily.."

"Walking away as the sky fades to gray."

Welcoming new seasons and reasons to celebrate.

Cheers to the joy of friendship.

Your college friends know who you are. But highschool friends will always know why.

I want more shooots! :)
