fickle mind

here. go back to THIS ONE.

better than all the riches or power in the world

it's the year 2011.

"If you suddenly and unexpectedly feel joy, don't hesitate. Give in to it. There are plenty of lives and whole towns destroyed or about to be. We are not wise, and not very often kind. And much can never be redeemed. Still, life has some possibility left. Perhaps this is its way of fighting back, that sometimes something happens better than all the riches or power in the world. It could be anything, but very likely you notice it in the instant when love begins. Anyway, that's often the case. Anyway, whatever it is, don't be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb."

it's nice to take walks by the river in warm coats with good friends.

christmas break

seeing the people i love and piano-playing and writing and painting.

and a little kloie to come sit in my lap and tell me stories.

stunning

black swan will give me nightmares, but it is a beautiful, beautiful movie.

closed roads in life

sometimes i get really upset that i will never be a celebrity. i pretty much missed my chance to pursue anything that will get me an interview spot on a late-night television show.

but then again sometimes i also get upset that i will never be a teen mom.

still wide-eyed

you know - in the spirit of watching youtube videos instead of studying.

threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell

stunning.
