I'm an art student in Philly who is kind of obsessed with dying my hair. I enjoy learning about body modification and drawing naked people. Ah, and my name is Sarah.

“In GOD We Trust.”

A little boy was walking to school with his dog, but the school administration wouldn’t let him in. 

As the dog sat there and whimpered, God appeared next to him. “Don’t feel bad, they won’t let ME in either.”

acleverparadox: I know you have to study and focus on school for now. I know that everything you do is so we can have the future we want together. But what about right now? No one can compare to you. No one can replace you. I don’t mean to add to your stress, I just miss you.
