the fault in our stars

you don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world - but you do have some say in who hurts you. my as of late experience tells me to take what each could give you and build your world from it - stronger & better  

the storm

And once the storm is over you won't remember how you made it through, how you managed to survive. You won't even be sure, in fact, whether the storm is really over. But one thing is certain. When you come out of the storm you won't be the same person who walked in. That's what this storm's all about.

*Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore

stay up all night...

...to believe in yourself

my motto of the month is to work outside of my own habits. so many possibilities.

leave the world behind

2011 was the worst of time, but it was also a time of learning to feel the comfort of freedom from pain. to walk away from what i do not love any longer has made me believed that even nothing cannot last forever. but i do believe that these words have saved my life, "i do not need this anymore." i am grateful for what has happened because my adventures are very well in their place for 2012 to fold.
