Up With the Birds

it's march, and right now its 55 degrees outside. thus, i am not doing homework. it's too beautiful and it smells good outside. i knew it would be lovely outside when i got to see the sunrise. but i'm also a morning person.

Up With the Birds : Coldplay

lost in my mind

it's been a busy past few days. but very pleasant to say the least. i've drifted out of my dance music pandora station and into my 'head and the heart' pandora station. it's been a nice change with the severe weather change. the weather makes me want to sit inside with coffee and a good book.

Gems

i've been listening to dance music lately. it helps me get my homework done faster which is nice. i also bought flowers last weekend which was also nice. i might not be sleeping tonight due to the black coffee i drank before gathering. which might also explain the fact that my thoughts keep jumping around. classic sunday.

The Ink Ran Clear

And I’m sorry if I haven’t written to you in a while. It’s just that life gets in the way of living. It’s just that my fingers were stuck together. It’s just that all the paper in the world caught fire.




You’ll forgive me if I haven’t written in a while. It’s just that all the envelopes made love to dragonflies and now, we cannot bring them down. It’s just that time stopped ticking. It’s just that all the ink ran clear.

My apologies if I haven’t written in a while. It’s just that words ran out of letters (these are the last in the bag). It’s just that language isn’t perfect. It’s just, me.

Typing Concrete Things

So I've recently realized I have no idea what I'm doing with my life. It's caused a minor existential crisis. I want to do so many amazing things with my life but have no idea how to get there, and I want to go so many places but have no means to get there. I have nowhere to live next fall and have no idea why I'm an art history major or even what I'm doing in Michigan. But as scared out of my mind as I am, it's hard to forget that this is one of the most beautiful times in my life. It's kind of annoying to not be able to forget that when you want to sulk in your worries. Regardless of the unknown, it's so beautiful to have such a blank slate and not be able to fathom the great people I'm going to meet/live with, the designs I'll create, the places I'll see and photograph, the music I'll listen to, the things I'll write, and the clothes I'll wear. But I'm still scared.

I think she was afraid to love sometimes. I think it scared her. She was the type to like things that were concrete, like the ocean. Something you could point to and know what it is. I think that’s why she always struggled with God. And I think that’s why she also struggled with love. She couldn’t touch it. She couldn’t hold on to it and make sure it never changed. But sometimes it’s those things you can’t touch that you need to hold on to the most.
