I said, "I wish I didn't know you." and who knows what I meant. The universe was easier to comprehend when it was composed of stellar remnants and not the way you look at me when you think I'm asleep.

Dear Dream Journal
Everyone's had a dream before. Maybe it was one you didn't want to wake up from or maybe it was so weird, you just wanted to wake up. Either way, imagine having the most interesting dreams every single night and when you combine it with your crush never notices you... well find out.

It's Complicated
He just looks perfect, but I can't show it. It'll freak him out, actually everyone that knows me. Even if he is one, he doesn't deserve me, no one does.

Remember
You have no idea who Klaus Mikaelson is to you. You have no idea who any of the Mikaelsons are to you, for that matter. Thing is, they seem to know you. If what they're saying is true, how are you going to get your apparently missing memories back?

Moon Wish
When I was little, I believed in magic, the kind with an enchanted fairy godmother and the power of making wishes. These beliefs began to wither with every unanswered wish. They disappeared completely when I made my final wish, a moon wish. The black cloud that has followed me since that day has only gotten thicker and darker over the years; it's so dense that it is starting to obscure everything. I can't see the sky at all. It's been so long since I've seen any light, I've forgotten what it felt like to walk in it. Lost in the dark, an accident brings me a glimmer of it. To appreciate the light, you have to endure the dark.
Woman of The Apocalypse
I had an ego the size of a planet. At least since I was three, I hid my shyness and general utter misanthropy for the human race under a crappy braggadocio and pomp that would make even the devil blush if I carried through with it into my 20s. Pathetic, really. Then again, at the age of three I still hadn't formulated my personality yet. I didn't even know if I had one, though I did know for one thing that I was an ill-tempered little brat...I didn't know what the future would clasp in its lying, damning claws or what beautiful dead person would catch my eye (was it the other way round? I wasn't sure...). Here's what I can remember up to this point anyway.

Forgetting Roman
Because forgetting Roman was more than just moving on. It was growing, accepting, and knowing I deserved better.

Permanent Memories
They say right before you die your whole life flashes before your eyes. That explains why I only saw you.

Pen Pals (Plot Twist!)
Is this all happening too fast? I don't know. Should I let him into my life as something more than a friend? What if he cheats on me? I thought for a moment... Well, I do love him too. I mean, he's my idol.
