A few lovely things for a rainy day spent back in California, hunkered down under the covers and eating pomegranates like it’s my job.

A few lovely things for today, when I am on my way to Gili, and hopefully am not seasick.
Love the message behind this. It seems like we’re told from a very young age that we can be anything we want to be, but then as we get older, as we get closer to actually being grown ups and trying to decide what we should be doing with our lives, we seem to be told instead that so many of our aspirations are childish, and that we need to grow up and get a “real job”.
It’s true that not everyone can be painter, or a writer or spend all their time outside with horses, but certainly some people are able to. And if some people are able to, then if you dedicate yourself to being the best writer, painter or horse whisperer you can be, then who’s to say you can’t be one of them?

A few lovely things for today, because I’m procrastinating and because job hunting is the absolute worst.
A few lovely things for a very rainy night in Cambodia.
A few words I’m loving lately:
“Don’t bend; don’t water it down; don’t try to make it logical; don’t edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly.” ~ Franz Kafka
“I don’t want to be afraid to take risks. I don’t want my tombstone to read “She hid her flaws well on the red carpet”- Mindy Kaling
“You can’t wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club”.- Jack London
It is not the fear of moving on that scares me, it is the fear of never going back. They never told us just how much it would cost to choose in life. They never told us that even though you can move on from certain things, it may in turn cost you your heart. These decisions we face may turn us into either saints or monsters, but it has to be worth more than becoming nothing at all.
– Mary Kate Teske
“I fell in love the way you fall asleep, slowly and then all at once.”- The Fault in Our Stars
“Non, je ne regrette rien”- Edith Piaf (No, I regret nothing)
“Forgiveness is giving up the hope that the past could have been any different. “-Unknown
“… You sit by and watch your constitution being torn away from you, willfully eat poisoned food, buy manufactured products no one needs and turn an uncaring eye away from millions suffering and dying all around you. Perhaps I should let you in on a secret… No one likes you in the future. This time period is looked at as being full of lazy, self centered, civically ignorant sheep.”– John Titor (time traveler from the 2030’s)
A few lovely things for the first day of May, after a very busy but very fun April.
A few lovely things for tonight, when nothing sounds better than tea, wildberry cheesecake and a few episodes of Dawson’s Creek on Netflix. I forget how deliciously angsty all the characters and plot lines are, it’s perfection.
Love this. I feel this way all the time, one day I hope to close the gap.
loveliness.
