quote of the day

"You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break: her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there. "

-Bob Marley

kevin and austin

currently listening to "heartbreak warfare" by john mayer

ive never done a shoutout post before, but i felt like this was quite necessary and highly appropriate. kevin and austin are two of my very dearest friends and such men of god! now, ive had friends tell me that they follow my blog on a regular basis, but im pretty sure kevin and austin take the cake -- they confessed to me that they meet up every tues/thurs so that they can read my blog together.. clearly, we are all mutually obsessed with one another. anyway, i thought this might brighten yalls day and -how appropriate- that im posting this on a thursday :) LOVE YOU BOTH.

quote of the day

"I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together."

-Marilyn Monroe

quote of the day

"I don't know if we each have a destiny, or if we're all just floating around accidental-like on a breeze, but I, I think maybe it's both. Maybe both is happening at the same time. I miss you, Jenny. If there's anything you need, I won't be far away."

currently listening to "paperweight" by joshua radin feat. schuyler fisk

quote of the day

"Your time is limited so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

- Steve Jobs (1955-2011), RIP
