I'm not the girl your mother warned you about as a child. Her imagination was never this good.
So, I get called into my mom’s room today, only to retrieve an owl cup, and to find out that we are moving again.
I have two feelings about this. One is good, because this house never really felt like a home to begin with, and the other is kind of sad because I kinda liked this house. I’m secluded back in my room and I could do whatever I pleased to.
And it’s really just now hitting me that my dad, is someone whom I’ll never get to know. And it kills me inside to know that. I feel so alone in this world.
Possible Alien Planet Smaller Than Earth May Be Lava World

Scientists have discovered what appears to be an alien planet just two-thirds the size of Earth, a heat-blasted world perhaps covered in molten lava, a new study reports.
Astronomers discovered the newfound alien planet, known as UCF-1.01, using NASA’s Spitzer Space Telescope. The diminutive world is just 33 light-years away, making it a near neighbor of Earth in the cosmic scheme of things.
“We have found strong evidence for a very small, very hot and very near planet with the help of the Spitzer Space Telescope,” study lead author Kevin Stevenson, of the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando, said in a statement. “Identifying nearby small planets such as UCF-1.01 may one day lead to their characterization using future instruments.”
I dare you to let me be, your one & only.
You know, I lay here night after night. And wonder why I’m on this earth. Why my life is the way it is. Why is this person here, and why is that person there? I’ve gone through a lot lately; gaining people in my life, and losing some who were never really meant to be there in the first place. I’ve learned what not to do, an to stand up for who I want to be with and whatnot.
Even though, I’ve had the suckiest days ever here lately, everything eventually turns golden.
Between meaningless conversations with random people, to deep conversations with those whom I love dearly, I’m pretty sure I’ve learned a lot.
The past is the past; it should only e brought up if you intend on making amends with that one person you’ve always hated.
Babyboy, you’ll be young forever
You know those days when you really hope you didn’t mess everything up? It’s one of those days. I finally talked to him, and now I’m not quite sure where we stand. And it sucks. Because he means a whole world to me. And knowing my luck, I managed to push him away.
I’m terrified of getting hurt.
And betrayed.
I want to tell him how much I miss him and love him and want to be with him and that I hope we’ll be together forever. But there’s that tiny voice in the back of my head telling me I shouldn’t do it. I don’t know what to do.
Every once in a while I feel worthless.
Like I don’t belong. Which is really no surprise, because everyone gets like this.
But mine is a little worse than everyone else’s.
New Image of the Pinwheel galaxy in Many Colors Shows Off 21 Million Year Old Light
This image of the Pinwheel Galaxy, or also known as M101, combines data in the infrared, visible, ultraviolet and X-rays from four of NASA’s space-based telescopes. This multi-spectral view shows that both young and old stars are evenly distributed along M101’s tightly-wound spiral arms.
Such composite images allow astronomers to see how features in one part of the spectrum match up with those seen in other parts. It is like seeing with a regular camera, an ultraviolet camera, night-vision goggles and X-ray vision, all at the same time.
The Pinwheel Galaxy is in the constellation of Ursa Major (also known as the Big Dipper). It is about 70% larger than our own Milky Way Galaxy, with a diameter of about 170,000 light years, and sits at a distance of 21 million light years from Earth.
This means that the light we’re seeing in this image left the Pinwheel Galaxy about 21 million years ago - many millions of years before humans ever walked the Earth.
