confession no. 3

sometimes i try to be hipster.  see below.

• (standing in front of my dresser) does this death cab for cutie concert t or this feed my starving children volunteer t say i'm more hipster?

• to buy a pair of fake glasses at urban or not to?

• i really want to wear my beachy, cali hoodie again, but wait i just wore that three days ago to go to the hipster coffeehouse.

• name dropping obscure band names with weird songs i'm not even sure i really like.

tunesday: angus and julia stone

She said "hello mister, please to meet ya"
I wanna hold her, I wanna kiss her
She smelled of daisies, she drives me crazy

“Maybe there’s something you’re afraid to say, or someone you’re afraid to love, or somewhere you’re afraid to go. It’s gonna hurt. It’s gonna hurt because it matters.”

truly blessed

Today was an incredibly perfect day. The perfect combination of family and friends that are practically family. I'm truly blessed to have such positive people in my life that love and support me. I'm forever grateful.  Today was one of those "cherish the simple things in life" kind of days. A hug here and there, a nap with the windows open, the perfect pandora shuffle, comfort food, a smile on a loved ones face, a glance, a gaze, a pile of letters to go out in tomorrow's mail, being tucked into bed, a little kid's laugh.  I love my life and the people I get to share it with. They make it all the more complete and for that I am thankful.  Sweet dreams blog land. 

no. 11 get a record player

santa brought me a record player for christmas and since then i have been playing dreamy albums on vinyl both old and new.  i love spinning frank sinatra and lighting candles in my room whilst writing letters at my desk or just lying in bed looking at the ceiling. 

i also discovered a local music shop in town with tons of vinyl and cds.  i could spend hours just browsing there.  picked up the black keys on vinyl and a neon indian LP.

crossing off the list.

right now

i'm always trying to plan my life ahead of time.  working out possible outcomes before they actually happen and when they are completely out of my control.  i push people away far too often and only to save myself from hurt whilst hurting myself in the process.  if i'm happy, what more do i need?  if the people in my life make me happy, why should i change that?  here's to living for right now, being present right now and being happy right now no matter what tomorrow or 3 months from now could bring.  being comfortable is a good thing.
