drunk girls know

that love is an astronaut

it comes back

but it's never the same.

i want to lift my hands towards the sun

show me warmth

baby, won't you show me warmth again?

sun hands

local natives

edges

get hot

get too close to the flame

wild open space

talk like an open book

sign me up

got no time to take a picture

i'll remember someday

all the chances we took

we're so close to something better left unknown

gimme sympathy

her disappearing theme

broken social scene

as one

“a true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. but to live with a soul mate forever? nah. too painful. soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. a soul mate’s purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, and make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life.”

-elizabeth gilbert

i think this is one of the truest things i've ever heard.

the people we spend forever with are complementary to us,

not the same.

i don't think soul mates are always a positive experience, either.

i think they're downright terrifying .

half awake

turn the light out

say goodnight

no thinking

birthday advice

'just remember - us scorpios never forget. we get even.'

-anonymous birthday twin at the restaurant where i had dinner

'may those who love me, love me.

may god turn the hearts of those who don't,

and if he can't turn their hearts,

may he turn their ankles

so i will know them by their limping.'

-my grandma

(with the afterword - 'that's bad. but kind of funny too.')
