When I'm grown all up ( in a few years ), maybe I can travel around the world with you.

Ten decisions shape your life

"Though he remembered nothing of her, he never questioned her presence. He couldn't see her face but made out the contours of her straight back as he watched her sides take in the air and breathe out something he thought was worth the world. There, in a room deranged with abandoned clothes and suffocated with the musty smell of youth, in between what had already been lost & what was still possible, he was more in love with her than he ever would be; He didn't wonder what her name was or where she came from or where her clothes had gone, he'd already been broken and she'd conquered him."

- Annie Makalintal

But here I dreamt I was an architect

"I will love you always. When this red hair is white, I will still love you. When the smooth softness of youth is replaced by the delicate softness of age, I will still want to touch your skin. When your face is full of the lines of every smile you have ever smiled, of every surprise I have seen flash through your eyes, when every tear you have ever cried has left its mark upon your face, I will treasure you all the more, because I was there to see it all. I will share your life with you, and I will love you until the last breath leaves your body or mine."

— Laurell K. Hamilton

Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars?

He: I'm not lying now.. I love the idea of loving you.
She: And I love hearing it.

meet me at the corner

I remember the corner

the corner of your colour

the corner of your smile

the corner where we kissed

the corner of your smile

the street corners turning into the corners of the corridor

into the corners of the room where we lay

the corners of your mouth

of your eyes

the corners of words we didn't finish

the corner of your name

on the corner where we parted.

It is at the edge of a petal that love waits

A new road or a secret gate
And though I oft have passed them by
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun."

My dream is to walk around the world. A smallish backpack, all essentials neatly in place. A camera. A notebook. A traveling paint set. A hat. Good shoes. A nice pleated (green?) skirt for the occasional seaside hotel afternoon dance.

A wolf in sheep's clothing

You're so good at stretching the truth,
into a sugar coated lie.
Everyone takes a bite.
I have been dining with the enemy.
You were a wolf in sheep's clothing.

You over did it, doll

Well, then I'm a liar. I've always been a liar. That's the truth.

"It's like he would take a photograph of Sam, and the photograph
would be beautiful. And he would think that the reason the
photograph was beautiful was because of how he took it. If I took
it, I would know that the only reason it's beautiful is because of
Sam."
— Stephen Chbosky (The Perks of Being a Wallflower)

Happy birthday!

A direct hit of the senses and you are disconnected

and there are those days where I feel as much as I want to ignore the feeling I get when you smile.

I just can't.

"Are you following me?" he asks, but doesn't meet my gaze.

"Yeah," I say.

"Why?"

I give him the only honest and true answer I have.

"You're where I want to be."

I've got one two three

Dear friend,

I feel great! I really mean it.

I have to remember this for the next time I'm having a terrible week.

Have you ever done that?

You feel really bad, and then it goes away, and you don't know why.

I try to remind myself when I feel great like this that there will be another terrible week coming someday, so I should store up as many great details as I can, so during the next terrible week, I can remember those details and believe that I'll feel great again.

It doesn't work a lot, but I think it's very important to try.

Under, Me and You
