My main hobbies consist of knitting, reading of the classics, watching movies, running, sleeping, photography, drawing and writing. I’m the guy that many people underestimate and overlook because of my quiet, careful and cautious exterior. I have a big heart and I care for a lot of things- which usually lead me to being hurt in the end. I’m that guy who still believes that being a gentleman counts, as well with having manners. I’m passionate of many things and I take pride in my work. In school I tend to be the “nice guy” or the “quiet kid” which justifies pretty much how I am at all times. My goal is to always do my best and never give up. I have an obsession with Taylor Swift, which concludes that I am crazy in love with her. I’m a senior who’ll be graduating in less than 6 months and I’m ready to start my life. My dream is to become a Psychiatrist, and help others in need. I’m selfless, artistic, kind, caring, loyal, quiet and most of all, respectful and courteous. 

Senior, Capricorn, 18.

&lt;blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;“&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="quote"&gt;We mistake sex for romance. Guys are taught that pushing a girl up against a wall is romance. Sex is easy; you can do it with anyone, yourself, with batteries. Romance is when someone you like walks into a room and they take your breath away. Romance is when two people are dancing and they fit together perfectly. Romance is when two people are walking next to each other and all of a sudden they find themselves holding hands, and they don’t know how that happened.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;—John C. Moffi &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I love this so much.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;that is my perception of romance but god forbid a guy like me in today’s society is allowed to feel like that. &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://shirleyandhisdog.tumblr.com/post/50630865644</link><guid>http://shirleyandhisdog.tumblr.com/post/50630865644</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2013 00:06:33 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>I know I haven&amp;#8217;t really been on here lately and I sincerely do apologize. I&amp;#8217;ve just been...</title><description>&lt;p&gt;I know I haven&amp;#8217;t really been on here lately and I sincerely do apologize. I&amp;#8217;ve just been consumed up by so much, I don&amp;#8217;t have time for myself anymore. Senioritis is kicking it&amp;#8217;s way in and graduation is getting closer. Time is ticking closer and closer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But alas, I am just here to vent. I have no where to put my thoughts down, plus nobody that I care for listens to me anyways. I just help them out in their times of needs, and where are they when I need them? No where in sight.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m just trying to say I think I&amp;#8217;m going to get rid of the gentle, innocent, kind and nice guy side of me. Nobody seems to realize that I do so much for people, I bare a weight just because I don&amp;#8217;t want other people to be hurting. But who do I have to talk to? Not a soul. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now on the relationship part of me, it&amp;#8217;s been so long since I&amp;#8217;ve been with somebody. Like, I know I&amp;#8217;ve grown and matured so much since I was 16. I&amp;#8217;m now 18, a adult, and ready. Every girl tells me that I&amp;#8217;m such a &amp;#8220;nice guy&amp;#8221; and that i&amp;#8217;m so &amp;#8220;sweet and caring&amp;#8221;. But god for bid if I develop a small crush on one of them I get my compliments stretched. I get told they only see me as a &amp;#8216;friend&amp;#8217;, so where does that lead me? Being confused as hell. I&amp;#8217;ll give myself kudos for trying and all, but still. I mean if they compliment me and tell me &amp;#8220;anyone that you end up would be the luckiest person in the world&amp;#8221;, well? What I want you to be that lucky person? I mean what sets you off to not having mutual feelings? Is it because I&amp;#8217;m ugly? I&amp;#8217;m too gentle? I&amp;#8217;m too respectful? I&amp;#8217;m too nice and courteous? I&amp;#8217;m too caring? I&amp;#8217;m to polite? Seriously  what is it? I mean it&amp;#8217;s not MY fault that I can&amp;#8217;t control who I fall for. But I mean come on really? Nobody is out there for me and I know it. I just want to share my kind and gentle heart with somebody but nobody wants to take it it seems. I know why, because girls want a &amp;#8216;bad guy&amp;#8217;. The &amp;#8216;bad guy&amp;#8217; treats you like shit, doesn&amp;#8217;t pay attention to you, takes advantage of you, is brutal and deceitful. A nice guy like me doesn&amp;#8217;t stand anywhere. So I think I&amp;#8217;m going to change. Change into a self absorbed jack ass who only cares about himself and degrades women because obviously respecting them and being so nice for them and treating them as 1st class citizens just doesn&amp;#8217;t cut it I guess. I&amp;#8217;m tired of being alone, I&amp;#8217;m tired of being rejected, I&amp;#8217;m tired of being ignored. I want to love somebody, somebody in particular but I don&amp;#8217;t think they will ever feel the same for me. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So you know what? Maybe if I do turn into a &amp;#8216;bad guy&amp;#8217;, girls will start flocking to me. Girls love bad guys because they break the rules and live by their own attitudes. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Just, screw it. I&amp;#8217;m tired of being so nice and thoughtful and respectful and polite and a gentleman I&amp;#8217;ve just had it. I&amp;#8217;m cracking and I&amp;#8217;m finally broken. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#8217;m tired of being the load barer of everybody&amp;#8217;s problems because nobody seems to care for me. I&amp;#8217;m done. I&amp;#8217;m just done. I&amp;#8217;m tired of trying so I give up. I&amp;#8217;ve just had it. Yet again.&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://shirleyandhisdog.tumblr.com/post/50630709675</link><guid>http://shirleyandhisdog.tumblr.com/post/50630709675</guid><pubDate>Fri, 17 May 2013 00:04:01 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>A big #TBT</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a635f958244765cb767dc441b6536eb6/tumblr_mmwoo6TJjB1rorcmlo1_500.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;p&gt;A big #TBT&lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://shirleyandhisdog.tumblr.com/post/50593354296</link><guid>http://shirleyandhisdog.tumblr.com/post/50593354296</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 May 2013 15:26:30 -0400</pubDate><category>tbt</category></item><item><title>"You’re brave if you create something, anything, and send it out to the world."</title><description>“You’re brave if you create something, anything, and send it out to the world.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://thoughtcatalog.com/author/ryan-oconnell/"&gt;Ryan O’ Connell&lt;/a&gt; (via &lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://quotecatalog.net/"&gt;quotecatalog&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://shirleyandhisdog.tumblr.com/post/50576206668</link><guid>http://shirleyandhisdog.tumblr.com/post/50576206668</guid><pubDate>Thu, 16 May 2013 09:52:58 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>
