gooood morning

happy friday

In uncertainty I am certain that underneath their topmost layers of frailty men want to be good and want to be loved. Indeed, most of their vices are attempted short cuts to love.
-John Steinbeck

all the beauty

I can see you're new, awake
Let me assure you, friend
Every day is ice cream and chocolate cake
And what you make of it
Let me just say
You get what you take
From it, so be amazed
Whenever you stop...
You gotta be brave.

replacements

five months ago if i was having a crummy day or feeling overwhelmed by life, i could listen to Little Bird by Angus and Julia Stone and think of a few lines from American Beauty and transformation was instantaneous. Now? Not so much. I miss those days. They were simple and they were lovely. The thing is my life is pretty much the same as it was five months ago, but Little Bird and American Beauty just aren't doing it for me anymore. And that makes me downright sad. I guess it's just like anything else in life. We move on. We grow tired of things. We're on a constant quest to find something new....something better. What brought peace and satisfaction several months ago is replaced by something we deem better, but is it actually better? Finding replacements is tiresome and i really do like Little Bird and American Beauty. 

Lester Burnham:   ... but it's hard to stay mad, when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst... And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life... You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry... you will someday.
