Love this. 

Can't they just get married already?

this is perfect too. 

okay. that's all. i'm in the middle of an unhealthy obsession of these two right now.

so. much. soul.

soundtrack. florence.

I'm sitting here in my bed. Thinking about many things. Like the things I could do to fix perceptions and ideals of beauty among us. It breaks my heart seeing the things girls do to be perfect. And how many girls really doubt how amazing they are. I know I sometimes do - getting caught up in comparisons to others. But after writing a 10 page research paper on the issues behind distorted body images and the medias influence it really makes me want to change something. That really is what I want to do. Leave marks of good. I don't think ranting about it on my little corner of the interwebs will do much. No I have to think big. Much bigger. And I have a few ideas up my sleeve.

On another note. 

Listen to these. 

In my opinion Florence and the Machine has some of the most soulful, thoughtful, most meaningful songs out there. All the lyrics are constructed carefully and perfectly. 

So just stop what you're doing. watch these. and listen.

Really listen. 

And feel. 

"it's peaceful in the deep. cos either way you cannot breathe"

Never Let Me Go

"I've been a fool and i've been blind."

Shake It Out

"i heard your heart beating, you were in the darkness too. so in the darkness i stayed with you"

Cosmic Love

"happiness hit her like a train on a track"

Dog Days are Over

(i like the earlier version of this video better. but it has to be played in a lower quality so it wont post.)

El fin.

few things.

Home in a week. 

Working.

Dorms are creepy at night.

Really miss lacrosse. 

I just want to play. 

▬▬▬▬<░)

And I have the best friend in the entire world. 

ever get the feeling you're missing the mark?

if you want to be truly intimidating.

if you want to make an impact.

if you want to have a strong connection with others.

Just be sincere.

Sarcasm isn't a personality trait, it's not an attitude. It's a style of rhetoric meant to be used every so often to highlight a point. Saying your sarcastic... It's like saying your favorite cuisine is salt. You never have to take a stance with sarcasm. And there in lies the problem, it's just so. noncommittal.

When you see someone you would like to have a conversation with this is how you make your impression felt. "Hello." I'm not sure where lines got crossed and it was deemed attractive to be ambiguous and critical. Girls don't like it when guys do it, and guys don't like it when girls do it. We're all guilty. And we're all our own worst PR representatives: ourselves. 

So. Be yourself. Even if it means being unsure or uneasy. Let someone else put you at ease. Meet them in the middle. Be sincere. 

i'm trying a whole lot harder. I'm still flawed. But I'm working on it...
