Girls who, if you took away the designer labels, hair dye and cover-up, wouldn’t be more than average-looking, but with all that stuff look too plastic to be pretty.","author":"Hannah Harrington","tags":["beauty","face","fact","funny","girls","humor","makeup","plastic","society","truth"],"id":4291,"author_id":"Hannah+Harrington"},{"text":"June is gone. For the first time, the enormity of that hits me. Every muscle aches, my heart most of all. I am throbbing with how much I miss her. It hurts worse than anything. I don't know how I'm supposed to be expected to live day to day carrying this kind of pain. I don't know how I'm supposed to go out there, spread her ashes, and let her go.I want to stop running away from everything.I want to find something to run toward.","author":"Hannah Harrington","tags":["death","grief","loss"],"id":18774,"author_id":"Hannah+Harrington"},{"text":"Some people think that a place can save them... Like if they could just be somewhere else, their lives would be totally different. They could finally be the people they always wanted to be. But to me, a place is just a place. If you really want things to change, you can make them change no matter where you are.","author":"Hannah Harrington","tags":["life"],"id":20680,"author_id":"Hannah+Harrington"},{"text":"It feels weird, being out in the real world again. Around people just living their lives like normal. Their presence is oppressive. The very fact that the world is going on as usual, like nothing ever happened, makes me want to scream. I know it's irrational to expect everything to grind to a halt because of June, but still. A wave of anxiety builds in my chest, my head pounding so loud it drowns out the noise of people talking and tapping away on their laptops.","author":"Hannah Harrington","tags":["death","grief","loss"],"id":34660,"author_id":"Hannah+Harrington"},{"text":"It's just nice, I guess. Knowing that someone else can put into words what I feel. That there are people who have been through things worse than I have, and they come out on the other side okay. Not only that, but they made some kind of twisted, fucked-up sense of the completely senseless. They made it mean something. These songs tell me I'm not alone. If you look at it at that way, music... Music can see you through anything.","author":"Hannah Harrington","tags":["music"],"id":39691,"author_id":"Hannah+Harrington"},{"text":"It always struck me in years after how bizarre it was, how two people could look at one another with such tenderness and complete love, and how quickly that could dissolve into nothing but bitterness.","author":"Hannah Harrington","tags":["bitterness","love"],"id":50573,"author_id":"Hannah+Harrington"},{"text":"Whatever you decide, don't let it be because you don't think you have a choice.","author":"Hannah Harrington","tags":["choices","decisions"],"id":60224,"author_id":"Hannah+Harrington"},{"text":"I don't know what I need, or even what I want, from her or from anybody. There's no way to tell her the truth, because the truth is that my heart is broken, and I don't think there''s any chance of it being sewn back together. This is permanent. It can't be fixed.","author":"Hannah Harrington","tags":["reality"],"id":71947,"author_id":"Hannah+Harrington"},{"text":"You know, just because you think bubblegum pop on the radio represents all that is wrong with society, that doesn’t mean there’s not someone out there who needs that shitty pop song. Maybe that shitty pop song makes them feel good, about themselves and the world. And as long as that shitty pop song doesn’t infringe upon your rights to rock out to, I don’t know, Subway Sect, or Siouxsie and the Banshees, or whichever old-ass band it is you worship, then who cares?","author":"Hannah Harrington","tags":["belief","music","power-of-music"],"id":101390,"author_id":"Hannah+Harrington"},{"text":"Seth turns to Laney and I. 'Three months ago, I'm in Detroit protesting a free trade conference, right? Some pig shoves me, I go flying into another, next thing I know I'm on the ground with a Taser in my back. I get thrown in city jail, no money and one phone call. So I call Jake. You know what this fucker did? He dropped everything, drove up and bailed me out, no questions.'Like I could just leave you,' Jake says. 'You're too pretty. You're a delicate flower. They would've ripped you apart in there.","author":"Hannah Harrington","tags":["funny"],"id":102786,"author_id":"Hannah+Harrington"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":35,"pages":4,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
