"can i make it better with the lights turned on?"
likelava:
I guess I just feel like saying some things. things about how there is a lot of stuff that I do which I would never advocate, but it doesn’t mean they never worked out well for me. I want to say stuff about how you have to know what is right for you and along with that realize it doesn’t make you neither the exception nor the rule— it means that you understand different things work for...

roots and wings.
“I have reflected many times upon our rigid search. It has shown me that everything is illuminated in the light of the past. It is always along the side of us, on the inside, looking out. Like you say, inside out. Jonathan, in this way, I will always be along the side of your life. And you will always be along the side of mine.”

i’ve missed the piano so much.

today the air is thick and it’s chilly and it’s the same feeling in my gut that i have when i can feel you close. these days are like milestones for me because i know you’re here and you will get me through. i trust you now, more than ever.
keep breathing you in.
If we wait until we’re ready, we’ll be waiting for the rest of our lives.

Yet that doesn’t stop us from searching.

i believe in running barefoot. i believe that someone’s taste in music says a lot about them. i believe that one of the biggest tragedies in life are language barriers. i believe that once you know God, you never forget. i believe in enjoying this minute because it will never happen again. i believe that hearts can change like the colours of the leaves in autumn. i believe in waking up...

what if there was a way that we could track every invested moment? look at art and see the hours, the days, the processes and trial and error behind it. see the way the artist cried and laughed and fought for it. see the moment where he sat back and whispered “finished”. see the way the architects behind these buildings so carefully and intricately composed the blueprints for their...

how are you tricking yourself? there are questions that i rarely have constant answers to and somehow i’m still drawn to trust you. because at this point i wouldn’t know what to do if i didn’t. just when i thought that the leaves had maybe settled, the wind came back. i can’t tell if it was real but i need to start learning how to sort the truths from the lies. if you let...
this moment containing all moments. →
if you get your head out of the chaotic noise that is the past and future and time itself long enough to realize that this moment is happening. to realize that this moment is only now and will never come again. and it never came before now. this is beautiful. this is also scary. if there’s anything in the past couple weeks i’ve learned it is the simple realization that god is permeated in every...
