bag in the wind.

“it was one of those days when it’s a minute away from snowing and there’s this electricity in the air, you can almost hear it. and this bag was, like, dancing with me. like a little kid begging me to play with it. for fifteen minutes. and that’s the day i knew there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever. video’s a poor excuse, i know. but it helps me remember. and I need to remember. sometimes there’s so much beauty in the world i feel like i can’t take it, like my heart’s going to cave in.”

‘to love at all is to be vulnerable. love anything and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. if you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. but in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless–it will change. it will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable.’ -c.s lewis

today i saw a jogger wearing headphones and singing out loud.

today i realized that i am not the only one.

basia bulat is my idol.

you gotta’ do what you gotta’ do.

i may or may not have just rode my bicycle to the drug store against the wind in the cold rain to purchase mint green nail polish.
