  1. Abuse. Drug abuse. I didn’t think about anything to do with quality or whatever. Is it sad that I only thought about the negative aspect of such a word that’s normally positive until it’s tied to a negative word like abuse? I don’t know. Makes me think of crack. Haha. Like the crushed pills we used to see in elementary school. A friend’s mom who worked in LAPD brought it for us, plastered onto a big white caged posterboard, like a corpse on display.

  2. The substance of me is quirky, thoughtful, worrying, happy and not always as nice as it should be. It is sub as in under me. It is not visible and you have to dig for it.

    Substance and the yardsticks with which we measure it defines our attitudes towards the external world.
    It is not the grey liquid in the jar to the right hand side of your bed that is substance but everything in this world. We recognize the world as being full of substances. What is not of value we term insubstancial

  5. There is no substance to the internet. There is substance to the people who use the internet, but the internet seems to drain us of substance. Sometimes it can be used as a tool to bring substance to light. But substance is bread and wine, paper and pen, music and light and hands.

  7. I spent this afternoon with the most vaccuous group of people I’ve ever met. What personality they had was flimsy – paper thin and wholly lacking in substance.

    We got on like a house on fire.

  8. The note was impressive in that it managed to convey so much with so little substance. Really, it dosnt get any deeper than: I slept with your mom, sorry ;)

    The key to everything relies on a person’s integrity, if you don’t believe, then what’s the point of living.

  10. “this has quite a substantial weight to it,” he said, taking my bag of oranges and holding it above his head. “i’d carry it for you but i’m afraid people will think i’ve got some weird fruit fetish.” which is exactly why i bought 15 pounds of oranges, but i’m not going to tell him that unless he asks.

  13. in the toilet with the rest of the things that were worth flushing was a little piece of paper. on it were scribbled several sentences about the severity of the weight of the world taken out of context. it wasn’t anything worth thinking about for any great matter of time just in case. there was a general pause in the fabric of time just as the substance formed from the words and the water slid down the drain.

  14. your words always fill me. Your laugh always makes me glow. Your body pushing against mine…the substance of the moment

  15. Most people these days are blind to what truly has substance. Money is not as important, social standing can only get you to a certain point in peace. Only what makes us happy is truly important.

  16. something of substance they’ll say.
    as if we need smething real.
    the emptiness and expanse of nothing has more than you or I
    every molecule of ourselves becomes nothing,
    more empty than the sky or sea
    and the only things of substance or fibre are those intangible emotions.
    the ones that have no substance.
    the ones that are substance.

  17. was a joy division album, the incesticide posthumous kind,,,he hung himself did Ian at the cusp of fame,,but thats fame for you,,just a shiny fallic shit covered dollar in your nans twot,,if you’ve got nothing to say and no talent (most celebs) you’ll suckle at the rancid teet,,but beware anyone with anything proper to say

  18. he was a man of substance. unlike anyone she had ever met before. he was educated, wealthy, musically talented, had a nice car and a nice house, dressed with style… and then there were the substances. the very things that made up his physical being. the drugs, the wine, the scotch. it was all too much for her.

  19. a substance is usually a terem used in science but sometimes it can be used when solving a crime like when a murder has taken place and the weapon is a pioson you must figure out which substances are in the poison to find an antidote or who could have killed them. its simple really just a word.:)

  20. It was a strange substance. Like jello but with a thicker surface. Stuck together as if a malliable plastic. Soft plastic.

    I should’ve been worried when it started growing.

    I should’ve cared when I woke up and it was next to me.

    Now I find myself engulfed, with only a short time left…

  21. the substance of my life is not happiness, or truth, or goals and aspirations like most peoples’. the substance of my life is jam. I like it on toast, I like it on pancakes, I like it in sandwitches. I like raspberry jam the most, and then strawberry comes in a close second. It’s much better than jelly, I dont know if there’s a grape jam but if there is I don’t know that I’d like it.

  22. i think about it and you and i and us every single day. i think about what you chose over me and the monster that i became. about how i could never join you in that world… because you wouldn’t let me. how you pegged me into the role of this innocent little girl and how you used that shit to try and escape me. you somehow kept it just out of reach and held it against me… all at the same time. you told me everything i had ever been paranoid about was true. and i may never be able to forgive you — no — forgive myself for trying to love you anyway. eventhough i knew it wasn’t right.

  23. science projects and blowing things up.
    the relationship fall out element.
    personality validity factor.
    good luck

  24. depth. taking something beyond what is normally our “comfort zone”. going deep with somebody and having conversations that mean something and change you as a person. getting into the marrow of the bone and finding out what everything’s all about. substance is so much more than flowers and sunshine. sometimes it’s darkness and fear.

  25. substance is important to me, especially the substance that is in the marijuana plant

    it’s a magical plant

  27. Substance can mean a lot of things.
    But right now, all I can think of is drugs. Why? Thank my friend. Thankfully, I’m not ON drugs right now. Of course, that’s something I can say and you have to just believe me. THAT is known as credibility. What do you think of THAT as a word?

  28. jellylike, viscuous. the substance, can i hold it in my hand? will it squidge through my fingers? are you a person of substance? do you hold firm or do you squidge through whatever ribs or bars or assumptions form the shape, form your temperament, the you that has collected over the years, the sediment, the

  29. Thick with the most important parts, people who are filled with what matters, people whose mannerisms are a flimsy shell over a fascinating soul, people who are worthwhile.

  30. substance? that thing that all crave, yet we all seem to lack at one time or another. we ramble on throughout our lives without making any sort of point at all. it’s useless, futile, but we all are lacking substance. we’re carbon copies of whatever we should be, but we never seem to attain the status of what we wish to be.

  31. abuse is a very prominent problem – especialy here in the central valley of california . Lots of substance abuse revolving around meth.

  33. You are the substance of my life
    And I am part of your substance
    I am a thread nestled in your intricate weave

  34. The substance of life is thought. It is impossible to not think. We cannot stop from thinking. Even when we try to focus on a single sound, thought, item…our minds wander and we get frustrated that we are not able to control it. What would it be like to just do and not have to think? Is this something that animals alone have the luxury of? And who’s to say that they are not also always thinking? Sometime I get so tired of thinking that it would seem better just to die. I wonder what I would think about that?

  36. He said, “you don’t really have substance, honey.” This from the man, this from the man who ate two peanut butter sandwiches from bags everyday. This from the man who smiled with crinkled teeth and thought of little more than train windows.

  37. Food. Drink. Substance. Alcohol? Abuse? Hung over? Pregnant? Questions questions questions. Never any answers. Why am I so quiet? Do I have little substance?

  38. The abuse an everyday person goes through is nothing compared to the life I live. Sometimes i can barely get out of bed in the morning haunted by whatever it is that i did the night before. Can you believe that at such a young age i am tormented by something like addiction.

  39. There isn’t much I can abuse more flakyh smooth and slinky, but it shoots up and clamps dpown and then you#’re lost, but if you’re lucky you can lick your way to safety. Didn’t you know there was a reason for the warnings? Forget and remember, but you’ll never realy shake it off, and the only thing that matters is that it’s tangible, that you can feel it and shake it and fold it into your arms, they might be cut into ribbons during that time but hey, at least you’d know it was tangible.

  40. It’s something that is seen within people. In our age of materialism, most don’t really care for it nor do they appreciate it.
