currently listening to: bad religion by frank ocean

currently listening to: how we breathe by pinback

as this year is coming to a close:

i'm sorry for many things i've done

i'm hopeful for many things to come

i'm thankful for what i have

and i'm optimistic about what is next.

if you end up with a boring miserable life
because you listened to
your mom
your dad
your teacher
your priest
or some guy on television
telling you how to do your shit
then you deserve it.

as time goes on

you'll understand

what lasts, lasts.

what doesn't, doesn't.

time solves most things.

and what time can't solve, 

you have to solve yourself.

currently listening to: say my name by cyril hahn

summer is the time when one sheds one's tensions with one's clothes

and the right kind of day is jeweled balm for the battered spirit.

a few of those days

and you can become drunk with the belief

that all is right with the world.

how happy is the blameless vestal's lot

the world forgetting, by the world forgot.

eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!

each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned.

before you speak, ask yourself if what you are going to say

is true

is kind

is necessary

is helpful.

if the answer is no, maybe what you are about to say

should be left unsaid.
