WatchI’ve always hated my voice (talking and otherwise) because I sound like a 5 year old and my voice was once compared to Amanda Bynes. I recorded this several months ago when I became obsessed with this song. It’s 9 seconds long. 9 seconds of a song that I messed up on so I stopped recording. No one has ever heard me sing. Besides for my choir teacher in 6th grade, twice. My point of...
Maybe I’ll be gutsy…..

1. You can be totally in love with someone but be in a relationship which doesn’t suit you. Get out of it, there are over 6 billion people in the world, there is a functional relationship for everyone.
2. When you’re a teenager, you think you know everything. You don’t. I’m 23 and I don’t know…

So I worked noon-9pm today. Came home and worked for 3 more hours. Not because I had to, but because I wanted to. Oh. I guess that’s a good thing.

So I don’t think I’ve mentioned this on here yet, but I recently started working at my friend’s music store/venues. In the past I would occasionally help him out with things or work the door at a show, but nothing really “permanent”. However, I just started booking shows and I’ve been helping to get things in order with the store (since he just opened a new...

I have a really obsessive personality. When I meet new people that interest me, my mind obsesses over them. I want to know about all of their little details, the secrets, the past, their dreams, sorrows, and inspirations. This goes for friendships and otherwise. I wish I could explain why this happens. Most times, I wish I could stop it but I can’t. New faces, new stories…they’re...

Isn’t replacing someone old with someone new the strangest thing?
Everything you’ve built up in the past is completely wiped away and you have to start over, even if you don’t want to. Even if you’re tired because, let’s be honest, starting over is a lot of work. It’s like all the while you…

You know in the heat of the moment, I said some things I didn’t mean. Most of them I probably did. I can’t remember anymore. Either way, I’m sorry. Despite it all, I still wish you happiness. Good luck.

Just an FYI, I changed my url back to “laurenbolek” Which means I’m officially out of my hiding phase. I’m done deleting people and hiding things. I can only be who I am, and if others don’t like it then that’s unfortunate. But it is what it is. Ask me questions or tell me secrets. Be my friend. Follow my Twitter which I’m trying to use more often.

Juste Love: Honesty →
juste-love:
I feel as though I cannot preach about honesty enough. I won’t sit and rant to you but let me say this, there is nothing that adds to the hurt worse than lying.
No one is perfect. We are going to mess up. If you end up hurting someone or if your mess up is something that effects someone else….
I so desperately need a day to just be alone and do absolutely nothing. But in the past few months, I’m quite positive I’ve had less than 24 hours to be completely alone, with no one around me. The only time this occurs is when I’m in the car. And I’m free to sing and scream and do whatever I need to do. I absolutely love that I’ve been spending so much time with...

I just received an anonymous question asking me if I’d ever been in love and I almost answered it point blank before deciding to elaborate here.
I think you should fall in love as often as possible, but never put too much stock in it. Love changes with time because people change with time. I no longer love the people I once thought I did, and whether or not “real love” can...

I spent too many weeks feeling sorry for myself. Wondering what I did wrong, what I could’ve done differently, and mostly why I wasn’t good enough. And though lots of things played the role in the ending, there is absolutely no reason that any time should be wasted feeling sorry for myself. I’m not perfect, nor would I choose to be. I’m not my “ideal weight” but...

I’ve been painting for the past 6 hours. It’s 3:30am now, my eyes are tired, but I absolutely do not want to stop. Such a great feeling.
