Today I stopped trying to be 'someone' for somebody who never thought of me as anyone appreciated and important to them. Inside I know the space I had for them is now crushed and broken.. Let the facts be out in the open and the truth be spoken... In time it will be for the best...although I feel an emptiness...knowing what I considered worthwhile..proved shallow and unreal. I've learned sometimes emotions seem clearer than perception..and eventually can lead to a heartbreaking revelation that someone cherished proves that their friendship was in fact deception. I cry tears of realization that once again I believed the lies that were in disguise and covered up... Honesty was masked with coy flattery. Why was I so darn naive? I can and will move on...but I won't forget I was forgotten and actually believed a lie. Not a lie out of the mouth...but of the heart. That piece of friendship is now torn apart.... I mustn't be sorry for the encourageme

Dear Girl Who Walked Away, It’s not like you weren’t aware of what you were getting yourself into. He told you he was nice. He trusted easily and gave you all he could when he could. The nice guy believes in doing things right. He was there when you needed him to be, and he went out of his way to make sure you knew just how much you could mean to someone. We live in a generation where we all have to wear masks and play parts to make it through the battlefield of dating in the 21st century. There is no such thing as giving it your all. We like quotes on Facebook and post things on Instagram stating we want the masochist one day and the romantic the next. We play these games where being available can only happen sometimes, and playing hard-to-get must be our number one priority. Why? I thought the ultimate goal was to eventually settle down. I mean, what is the point of dating if you have no desire for it to go anywhere? If a one-night stand is what you’re looking

I knew the day we met That we were meant to be I knew our fate was set That you were the one for me I didn't even know you I only knew your name I wasn't sure what to do I didn't know who to blame I knew I thought you attractive I could tell that you were nice The butterflies were so active That I couldn't think twice Everything I did that day Didn't show you who I am Every time you came my way My heart began to roam My actions weren't natural My reactions weren't real I felt so very terrible But in my heart, I did not wield And when the group said goodbye to me My eyes were fixed on you I knew I was trying to see If you felt the same way too I liked you when I saw your face But maybe it was the touch My heart had begun to race I already liked you too much I knew the day we met That we were meant to be I knew our fate was set As friends, as lovers, as enemies

A hot, new club has opened in your city and there is a long queue of people waiting outside, dying to get inside. And you are one of those people who won’t even consider going to the club to understand what the buzz is all about, because you don’t like to party. This post is for those people who prefer to eat out with friends, have a movie marathon on weekends, or curl up on the sofa with a nice book in hand, instead of going partying. 1. You can easily win an argument over not partying, when someone is being judgemental 2. You have amazing conversations with your friends which you actually remember later on  Remember when…? :) 3. You don’t have to worry about driving home safely a fter a night out with your friends Or have one friend to stay sane and sober so that person can drive you back home.

Asked to: Systems engineer at Google Q: How many trailing zeros are in the number 5! (5 factorial)? Suggested answers: Option 1: 5 ! =120. So there is 1 trailing zero. Option 2: This sounds like one geared not so much towards getting the right answer, but getting to it the right way. If you think a bit and say 'one', the interviewer will know you did it the brute-force way, doing the math. You'd get at the answer faster, and probably impress them more, if you think instead how many times a ten will be produced in doing that math, rather than what the actual result of the math will be. Asked to: Software engineer at Facebook Q: You have two light bulbs at a 100-story building. You want to find the floor at which the bulbs will break when dropped.
