So Much To Say

I'm Zach. 20. I'm slowly learning how to be a real live human.

things kinda suck right now but I know that it would suck a lot more without you.

I’m not good with words, but I’m getting pretty fluent in all the feelings a heart can express. Its crazy how three words can make my heart beat like the wings of a hummingbird. How when I know what’s coming, like spending more time away, it shrinks up and plummets, staying far from sunlight. Its crazy how my heart doesn’t really beat for just me anymore. 

Watch This: Watch an Old Man in a Nursing Home Get Excited When He Hears Music from His Era(via @Gizmodo)

An old man in a nursing home is described as being depressed, unresponsive and ‘un-alive’ until he hears music from his era. When his caretaker puts the headphones on him and flips on the iPod, you can see the pure joy on his face.

This is the most amazing thing I’ve seen in a while. 

I love my school.

It’s my daddios birfday, jus’ sharing. I got him a shirt from the coke factory in Atlanta forever ago, he said he liked it, made me happy to see him happy since that’s rare nowadays. Wish I coulda extended break another week so I coulda been there but oh well, is what it is. He’s a great dada and I love him to death even though he frustrates the heck outta me sometimes.

I love the scar on your face. I love those hip bones you hate. I love your perfectly unkempt hair and how it gets in the way…a lot. You say you don’t try, and you don’t, yet you still stand out among even the prettiest girls. I love how you get antsy when I stare at you with happy eyes, and how you stare with them right back. I love how all the pieces that make you up, make one extraordinary lady, who I can’t stand to not be around. 

I will forever and always love Dave Matthews.

And then one giving you one more.

Did your mom pass away, or is she battling cancer?

She passed away october 11th of 2011. It literally scares me to think it has been over three months. It feels like an eternity. 

So a couple months back, I get a phone call. It’s my Dad saying I need to find a plane ride home, Mom could be gone within a few hours. Now have you ever gotten a phone call where you heard your Mother could be GONE in a few hours…I sure hope not. So I instantly call my friend Chelsa cause I needed someone to tell, not only that I was leaving so abruptly in the middle of the semester, but just everything up to then, how my Mom had an enlarged spleen that was the size of a football and was a dangerous surgery, how she had cancer since earlier in the year (around march) and was getting chemo and actually BEAT the CANCER, and how my Dad just told me that she developed an infection. Now this might be one hell of a coincidence, but she was wearing this shirt that same day. And it was perfect. And she said her friend made ‘em. And she would get me one next time she saw him. So I recently got a package in the mail from her (you creep somehow finding my address) and inside was this shirt! So she goes on to tell me that her friend Steven tried to mail it to her at school (YOU’RE THE MAN!) but it got shipped back to him (STILL THE MAN!) so she decided she would just mail it to me. Longest surprise everrrrr. But It’s here now. And It’s awesome. And she’s the bestestest. <345678917
