say cheese.

today i am listening to: she & him - in the sun

what a darling that zooey d.

i feel a little claustrophobic lately.

i need to start having better dreams.

"And she felt as though she had been there, on that bench,

for an eternity.

For an infinity of passion

can be contained in one minute,

like a crowd in a small space."

— Gustave Flaubert

"you drown not by falling into a river,

but by staying submerged in it."

-paolo coelho

sometimes i think.
sometimes i don't.

ten points for the guy on the left.

"jump start my kaleidoscope heart.

love to watch the colors fade" - sara bareilles

these bones are mere accessories

"faced with a dodo's conundrum

i felt like i could just fly

but nothing happened every time i tried" - the shins

i want to exist in this moment:

not when the wave crashes on the shore,

not when the water sits still on itself,

but in the spray.

when it gets to reach up to the sky,

and hold there.

(even if just for a second)

"i'm not interested in money.

i just want to be wonderful."

-marilyn monroe

the days shoot past me like freight trains--

each one shifting down the rails

taking with it all my minutes...

all the moments i didn't even know i let go.

to be nobody but yourself

in a world which is doing its best,

night and day,

to make you everybody else

means to fight the hardest battle

which any human being can fight;

and never stop fighting.

-e.e. cummings
