Here’s a clip of the first single off Born and Raised, called “Shadow Days.” I’m excited to share the first bit of sound from the album… Been looking forward to a post like this since October 14, 2010, the first day I started writing this group of songs. Enjoy.
Laughing so hard at number 7 on this list.
Never date a Nickleback fan (I know this from personal experience).
But the best thing about getting your heart broken is that, once everything is said and done, once you regain your sanity, you survived it. You were not defeated. You did not actually die, no matter how much you thought you wanted to. You lost it there for a little while; you gave into your emotions and let them rule you, but there’s no crime in that. There are worse ways to go through life than to feel things passionately. The point is this: life went on. Life goes on. Heartbreak might be a bitch of a visitor, but she always leaves that gift of a reminder behind when she leaves.

It’s hard to believe they originate from Italy. Described as an Italian gothic metal band from Milan, this latest release has a heavier sound. There are so many stellar tracks; it’s something I will be listening to a lot in the coming weeks.
Most played track for me: “End of Time”
What sound do dragons make? (Insert dragon sound here - sounds of fire being breathed out?) Happy (b-lated) Chinese New Year!
How much (yet surprisingly little) has changed since last January
Hello again, Tumblr. I have been neglecting you and I apologize. Other things got in the way - life happened. While some things remain the same (job, apartment), other things changed (unsuccessful relationships, “failed” friendships).
I feel like I have grown stronger in the past year - physically, mentally and most importantly, emotionally. I have gone through a roller coaster of emotions in the past three months; more heartache and pain than I want to endure but at the same time, I am thankful I have experienced these things. It makes me feel more … human. I wasn’t so sure I was capable of feeling some things, especially feelings surrounding a relationship, but oh, how I felt them.
I was swept up in the rush and excitement of being with someone new that I didn’t realize it may not have been what I was looking for at the time. It’s funny how life is always about timing - and how I feel like I have the worst timing of anyone. I wasn’t expecting to meet you and BAM! you come at me out of nowhere. It was exhilarating and I relished every new experience I was sharing with you. I didn’t realize how you were slipping away from me until it was too late. I’m still angry how you never fought for us; I tried so hard but you come to a point when you realize there’s no point saving it.
It’s definitely for the best, babe - thank you for the memories; I’m glad that we had more happy moments than sad. There will be no more tears shed for you, no more longing for something that couldn’t have been. I hope you’re happy now and secretly hope you still miss me.
Goodbye.
Moving on is like this: one day you forget the taste. The next, you forget the smell. Then the touch. Then the laugh. Then the smile. Then the jokes. Then the eyes, the hair, the hands, the feet. You forget the socks. You forget the fingers, the toes, the sex. You forget the pulses, the beats, the rhythms and how you sometimes felt like they all belonged to you. You forget the words; finally, you forget the voice that spoke them.
