You Know What I Love Today?
The sound of heels on concrete :)

It All Makes My Head Swim
My mind goes back and forth is this game I’ve been playing for quite a while now. I just want to get out, but the rush just keeps me in. At least I’m only playing for a few more months. :)

Never
What if I could turn back time to fix all the regrets about the past four years? Lately, I have been thinking about that very question, quite a lot in fact. Through all the pain of lonely nights and valentines that never came, I found stars to brighten my sky. I wouldn’t change the people that touched me in high school or all the good and bad times I had, because it all made me the person I am today.

Et Tu?
People say it all the time and I just blow it off with a coy “whatever”, but when it came from someone who really mattered, it hit me like a big, yellow school bus.

The Deepest Sin
Everyday is a different feeling,
Life is sticky and rampant.
What I know today isn’t what I will know tomorrow,
And the emotions I have seem wrong in a few short hours.
What is it that I truly crave?
There is secret code carved deep in me,
There are swirling black lilies,
And patterns yet to be matched.
My true desire is deep within,
not in myself, but in another.
Who that is may never be revealed to even me.
But we all have our vices.
“Jealousy is human nature; we are a jealous species and nobody should be faulted for it. We can’t just stop being jealous, because it doesn’t work that way. We can’t look for flaws in what we are jealous over; that doesn’t work either. What we can do is find the beautiful parts of our lives that make being jealous seem silly. Don’t be sad about what you don’t have, instead look at what you do have and cherish that.”

“It’s bright in the middle with a shell around it. It’s called life. It goes wherever it wants to so don’t try to predict it. Then you’d offend it, it’s meant to surprise.”
—Bjork, Nature is Ancient
