A blonde walks into a bank in New York City and asks for the loan officer. She says she’s going to Europe on business for two weeks and needs to borrow $5,000. The bank officer says the bank will need some kind of security for the loan, so the blonde hands over the keys to a new Rolls Royce. The…

Though it does make me mad they say ‘movie’.

A little boy about 6 years old that I was sitting next to when I saw Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 looked up at his mother and said, ‘Mummy, why is that girl crying?’ The mum looked at me and replied, ‘Because sweet heart, this movie is what she grew up with. She was there when Harry got on his broom for the first time and is still here while he is finally defeating Voldemort. This movie series is her childhood. You won’t understand for a couple of years what this movie means to her…’ The boy tapped me on the shoulder and said, ‘It’s okay ‘cause when I’m your age and I understand, I will find you an give you a hug.’

mayhem-lament:

Charcoal hearts
Star lit lips
Vacant eyes

We’re far from galaxies
Invincible and unreachable
Hidden from the universe
Yet walking on milky ways 
Draped with shadows of our own,
Dreaming ghosts and forgotten souls

It’s hard to stay apart at times.

Heavy

My friends are right.

It has been too long since I used my brain. For the past five months, I have been running on autopilot; and turning off any semblance of sense I once had. Had I thought constructively about what I wanted, or where I was headed, my current predicament would have never even existed.

But I am here.

And I am thinking.

I think I need to take more care of myself. I need to re-establish my comfort zone in being alone. A few years ago, I was extremely anxious every time I was alone. As I sit in this empty house, only an hour after waking up, I feel that same anxiety.  My need to keep busy at all times has stunted my abilities to spend time with just me. Now it’s just a crutch to keep me distracted from what is real. I need to set aside time to be away from everyone. I have feelings I need to sort through, I have ideas and theories that need to blossom. I have remeniscing to do. I have journaling to fall into.

It’s been too long since I used my brain creatively. Since I challenged myself.

Since I understood my complexities.

When I get back to school, many things need to change.

The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd; the longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.

-Fernando Pessoa

Calm yourself sweetheart. Your beating heart has nowhere else to go. 
His wicked desires can harm you no more. His vicious smile is but a memory.
Pick up the pen. Write down your dreams. Live them. Breath them. Feel them.
He will no longer touch you. Your eyes will no longer contain the terror that once was.
Breath in. Breath out.
Dawn is nigh. Watch your step.

Now we’re moving from the darkness into the light, this is the defining moment of our lives.

The Lake

For the last week I have been out of school and finally taking a long overdue break from the regiment of that life.

MP has been kind enough to allow me to stay at her lakehouse with Sara and her new boyfriend Jesse during our overlapping vacations. I feel so unbelievably grateful to be able to spend time relaxing around the best people I know; waking up to beautiful views, whipping around in the jetskis, and finding equal doses of comfort and fun in each day. I haven’t been this carefree in such a long, long time. It feels like summer for the first time in years.

The lake is so peaceful and serene at moments like this, looking out at the soft ripple of the water and trees as the wind creases our entire atmosphere. My clothes are lightly dampened and I can feel the sun beating down on my shoulder blades.

I can truly and completely bask in my appreciation for my life at this exact moment.
