currently listening to: fall creek boys choir by james blake & bon iver






we spend half our life sleeping.
but we spend our whole life waiting.
waiting in lines
waiting for times
waiting to be old enough
waiting for a call.
we're always waiting.
we just don't always realize it.
waiting for someone to say something.
waiting for them to notice you.
constantly waiting for that one person
and they have no idea you're waiting for them.

it's when you stop waiting for something
that you finally get it.





where we've been is who we used to be.
we started wrapping our regrets in cloth
are you defined by all the things you want
or did you get caught up
in the things that we are not?

you were born to believe you can't get lost,
so when you run, you always get too far.
now there's nothing you haven't seen.

but where we're headed we have never been,
past the pavement that we used to walk,
past the people that we used to know.
now come on, go
past the people that had broke our hearts.
we started laughing at them from afar
no we're not swans.
nor are we as ugly as we think we are.
we don't take to compliments but please don't stop.

currently listening to: dead hearts by stars

traveling is a brutality.
it forces you to trust strangers and to lose sigh of all that familiar comfort
of home and friends.
you are constantly off balance.
nothing is yours except the essential things
- air, sleep, dreams, the sea, the sky -
all things tending towards the eternal or what we imagine of it.

i can't wait to experience this freedom.

what you've done becomes the judge of what you're going to do
especially in other people's minds.
when you're traveling,
you are what you are right there and then.
people don't have your past to hold against you.
no yesterdays on the road.












"i was thinking about you. 
i was going to let you know that in the most dysfunctional way,
i realized i love you in some fashion.
not head over heels, or anything marital status,
but i would do anything for you.
and think about quite a bit,
so in some way, you should know i have love for you."

it doesn't have to be all or nothing.

 




later mission beach. see you in january!





five days until espana. 
i am so ready.
