last Streetlight of the year.
All the people that didn’t want you. All of them who changed their minds. Those that promised, those that were proud they lied. Those people that made you feel like you couldn’t, that you didn’t want to. Leave them here. Happy New Years. This one is ours.  terica.

loving someone you never met. possible?
Absolutely. Loving someone you have only dreamed of. Realizing you love the only person who ever loved you. Loving someone you can never have. Loving someone you have never told. Loving someone you’re just waiting for the right moment to tell. Loving someone you’ve never met? Of course. Meet them. Ask me anything

40-bel0w asked: Soo, I seriously was just in a terrable mood, I came onto your tumblr, and read everything down to your first post and I can't stop smiling... so, thank you for that. I thought I would just let you know. :]

strangerbehindmyskin asked: Terica, it's Heather. I'm just stopping by to thank you for always being there for me when times get rough. You're purely awesome in so many ways. I hope to see you at a show soon, or sooner than soon. I'll be in NYC tomorrow, (:

aurorainfinitum asked: Happy birthday! ♥

P.S. You said you wanted an identity - I was the one who asked about The Maine. (I'm sorry if I shouldn't have.) Just a random girl, you don't owe me anything. I'll definitely admit my curiosity has been sparked but only when you're ready to share. Maybe someday :)

birthday.
The day I was born, my uncle came to visit my parents in the hospital. They say he took one look at my newborn hair and gave me my very first nickname. It was a full head of hair; jet black and sticking straight up in all directions. They say it couldn’t be combed. They say it defied expectations. My uncle called me, “the punk rocker” and they say I smiled for the very first time. thank you for...

the Answer is in the Intro.
“Tell me what you feel.” But I didn’t tell him. I didn’t say anything at all. I buried my face in his shoulder that he’d turned away from me and pleaded for the words to come. They did not. The thing about perfect is… …he’ll never know he’s your perfect unless you tell him. Another rough weekend in Long Island. I say ‘another’ like I expected it was possible, but that’s too much false credit and...

Things I should tell him: -    You left your sweater in my car. -         My stuff you have, don’t give it away. -        I saw a rainbow today over the highway.   -          I love you. -          Joe says hi.

Wounds?
The heart consists of three tissue layers: 1) The pericardium, the outermost layer, encases. It protects. It’s made of dense connective tissue that attaches to both the diaphragm and the base of the great vessels. I’m ready to sing out. 2) The myocardium is the middle layer and has cells that conduct electrical impulses from one muscle cell to another; it makes your heartbeat. It makes...

do you have a tattoo?
Is this my Dad again?? Dad, do you have a formspring? Yeah I do. Its the outline of a heart on my middle finger. Two meanings: 1 has to do with where Streetlight Diaries got its name, and the other is simply a reminder. I lost a lot of love in 2010. I lost a lot of faith unsuccessfully trying to get it back. I wanted to be able to remind myself that love existed once in Teraland and it will...

Did you buy In Darkness and In Light?
I did not. To be honest, Black & White is in a zipped file on my desktop, waiting for old wounds to heal before I listen. Ask me anything

I’m afraid if you pull the knife out, I will faint at the size, and bleed out carelessly onto the floor. So leave it in, please, and let the tissue mold around what is already done. I ask you to twist it every now and then, so that I may remember what you did. And why I left. And no one will notice your weapon jutting from my ribs.

believe.
dontjudgejustloveconfessions: Believe in something. Believe that the things that make you happy, will never change. Believe that the things that upset you, will change. Believe in your voice, your story, and yourself. Believe that your soulmate is out there somewhere. Believe in love and not judgements. Believe that mistakes will change you and that you will learn a lesson from them. Believe in...

what if you don't WANT to stop liking someone...
Is it just me, or is it only the band boys you HAVE to stop liking? In the past week I’ve thought a lot about this…if it’s love, then when are you supposed to move on? If it’s love, then should you ever? I think maybe sometimes ‘need’ has to overthrow ‘want’, because there will be days we have to spend alone and it’s important to be happy...

Streetlight.
If you ever feel like no one is thinking of you. If you see a globe, and feel alone. If you take you’re misfortunes out on your hair. Play catch-up when you were never behind. If you’re feel strong during the intro, and play it over and over again so the bridge never comes. If you don’t know what you want to be when you grow up. If you knew that hope would be the death of you,...

We always watched V for Vendetta. I know that’s not a typical date night film, but to me the story of revolution was romantic, and to him- well seeing me happy was really all he ever cared about. We’d sit on the couch with his little brother or hole up alone in his bedroom, but always sitting really close, because I was always cold and he- well he never really wanted to be very far from me. It...
