in between seasons

I believe that the universe formulates weird patterns in our lives in a coincidental, unintentional way. Like having and losing two best friends named Sam to different schools. And the fact that I have three Kaylas in my addressbook. If people are somewhat shaped by the name they are given, their personality growing into that name, then those certain types of people are subsequently drawn to or ripped away from me against my will. What can I do? Nothing.

great new albums for your consideration --

sigh no more - mumford & sons
(enthusiastic banjo music pouring out of my speakers makes me so happy)

foundling - david gray
(david gray always inspires me to write & feel. right now my favorite track on this album is 'forgetting'.)

"I wish that when you met the person you are supposed to give your forever to that a giant light bulb heart illuminated above their heads and you just walked up to your perfect match, turned off their light and then knew that this was it."
-keltie colleen


this is why i love her soul so much. she always says what i can't put words.

don't think or judge --

"There comes a time in every life when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your heart. So you'd better learn to know the sound of it. Otherwise you'll never understand what it's saying."
- Sarah Dessen


I believe that listening can change your life. And sometimes a great song can do that for you.

a summary

wrap-up of everything i read this summer:

• the last song
• my life as a doormat
• eat. pray. love.
• the boy called "it"
• extremely loud & incredibly close
• anthropology of an american girl
• the little prince
• persuasion
• looking for alaska
• the boy who couldn't sleep & never had to
• just listen

i'm still working on 'everything is illuminated' and 'the creative habit'. i have the bad habit of trying to read too many things at once and getting bored with one and picking up another and. agh.

you're my tragedy

I guess I just have to wander through the world alone.

"I  was in my head building a world where everything is back to normal that felt so real for a second I thought I could step into it."
- DC Pierson
