resort 2012

i want a reason to wear these.

 

fed up.

the thing that scares me the most is that i'm not usually like this.
i'm not this negative, pessimistic person.
i always try giving people the benefit of the doubt.
i've always been the optimistic one.
i consider myself a level headed person, i don't take pride in complaining....

a person can only take so much sometimes,
and the light at the end of this tunnel is starting to look even bleaker than before.

i've never been one to give anything up, but i feel like so much anger is built up inside of me
how do i let that go?

i need this vacation for so many reasons.
my heart broke a little today.
7 days, just 7.

another favorite

love this song.

memorable

i don't remember exactly how long ago it was when i first stumbled upon this video, but i do remember that it was more than a couple years ago, it was really early in the morning, and it was at an hour where the rest of the city seemed sound asleep.

honestly, five seconds in my jaw dropped.

the song on this clip is called "please don't go" by barcelona.  i ended up downloading their album, "Absolutes." it's not bad and i listen to it every once in a while.  it just throws me back to that first time i saw this clip -- everything just.. mellows out

recently came across this clip again and wanted to post it.
mostly for the memories that it brings back, and the way it makes me feel.

lights out, full screen, and good headphones suggested for full effect (:

Dear Annette,

Happy Birthday, Love (:

quarter century

i'm turning 25 this summer--

i feel like i've done nothing but complain about me turning a year older these past few birthdays. if you had asked me how i felt about turning 25 a couple years ago, i probably would've been dramatic and said that my world was coming to an end and that i didn't want to think about it.

but i'm actually really looking forward to turning 25 this year.

i don't remember the last time i wished i were "___ yrs old" again.
what's the point? it's not happening, and to be honest, i like where i am now.
quarter century sounds dramatic, but it's been my best year yet.
what's not to love (:

officially summer

i ended may somewhat on a bad note -- twisted my already weak ankle (hurt it earlier in march) and have had a bandaged / casted foot for the past week and a half. need to do everything that i can to have it fully healed before i leave for italy (22 days!) but it hurts sometimes, and gets really uncomfortable. so grateful for the friends who ask how my doctors' appointments go, if i'm feeling better, if i need anything -- it's sweet acts like those that remind me that i am loved, and it feels nice.  thanks (:

to be honest the most frustrating thing about hurting my ankle is that my morning workouts have been put on hold again, something that i had just started getting back into the habit of after having hurt it the first time. sigh, patience--

on another note, june thus far's been much better. a little unexpected, but in good ways.
i have a feeling that this summer just might be the best one yet.

cheers to summer,

xxmon
