I Follow Rivers
Lykke Li
I Follow Rivers — Lykke Li
One of my favorite songs from her new album.
“That’s the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.”
—The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini (via byllek)
“I think you care about people, and would like to have a completely honest discourse with people. I think you like to be one-hundred percent honest with people one-hundred percent of the time. I think you care about people, and would like to be everybody’s friend. But the truth is, you can’t be everybody’s friend. A lot of people aren’t going to be as close and honest with you as you’d like them to be. Your desire to help people and be a friend or tell someone exactly how you feel all the time is an admirable but foolhardy errand. Not everybody is going to care about you as much as you care about them. I’m pretty sure I’ve told you this before.”

Story. Of. My. Life.
Insomnia
Tomorrow we are moving and I am super excited.
I feel like this new place is going to make some things so much better. Less isolation, more community, more places to shoot photographs and to make art.
Deep city living was never for me. I will still be in the city but in a house with a yard for gardening and a basement where I can paint/make messes. Also I am going to be super close to a beach on the Puget Sound and other awesome parks where Brea and I will go on numerous photo adventures.
It’s cheesy but I feel like a melancholy chapter of my life is ending. Hopefully a new hopeful one will begin in it’s place.
I should try and sleep now. I have to wake up early and make breakfast for all the wonderful people who offered to help us move.
I am listening to Regina Spektor all day/everyday while I anxiously await to move into our new house this weekend.
I just want to be there and be done with it :/
Until then I think I am due for another round of Samson to lull me to sleep.
“I do not care what car you drive. Where you live. If you know someone who knows someone who knows someone. If your clothes are this years cutting edge. If you are A list or B list or never heard of you list. If your trust fund is unlimited. I only care about the words that flutter from your mind. They are the only thing you own. The only thing I will remember you by. I will not fall in love with your bones or skin. I will not fall in love with the places you have been. I will not fall in love with anything but the words that flutter from your extraordinary mind.”
—Andre Jordan (via precipice)
