cuddling. the best medicine.

things just happen sometimes...


...and when they do, when those moments that feel like dreams actually happen in reality, the stars make a very good audience.

rough draft, revision.

do you ever feel like you left a story unfinished...?
like you never gave it a chance to let the rest be written...?
like, there was still so much left to do before the epilogue...?
like you barely even go to know the main characters...?
like there wasn't a happy ending yet...?
don't let it just sit there half-written.... there just may be a sequal...

flyaway pain


cages full of troubles and worries hang from the tree;
take them down, one by one
open the doors, and set them free.

advice for myself.


so, i found this on lovely notebookdoodles's blog the other day, {she is my fave} and for some reason i knew i'd be needing it at some point. and aparently that point is now.
things are a little crazy for me right now. and it is really hard to just pick up my spirits and continue on, but.... im going to anyway. because, for some reason, even though everything seems to be falling to pieces right now, i have this amazing peace inside of me that it is all going to be okay. in some way or another. and until then, i am praying that i can build up trust, and practice patience.
