HOW TO (PRETEND TO) BE GROWN UP

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

“Your truth should always been your truth, never betrayed for anyone, never suffocated or denied. Your feelings are always valid, no matter what they are. Let go of the outcome and remember if you are true to yourself, there is nothing more you can do but be hopeful and loving.” This is my stunning roommate. She is beautiful and hopeful and loving.

Spring is like a perhaps hand (which comes carefully out of Nowhere)arranging a window,into which people look(while people stare arranging and changing placing carefully there a strange thing and a known thing here)and changing everything carefully spring is like a perhaps Hand in a window (carefully to and fro moving New and Old things,while people stare carefully moving a perhaps fraction of flower here placing an inch of air there)and without breaking anything. -e.e.cummings

Today is a very special day. Two pictures for two birthdays! My little brother Jack and bffl Jojo are both being celebrated today. In their honor, a quote from Dr. Seuss

Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths & errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

New-ness

My life is once again in the midst of transition (when is it not?) and I have decided to actually do something with this website instead of just occasionally adding stuff to it. So, from here on out I’m going to (try to) post an original photo and/or quote. Let me know if you have any quotes to share OR if you love/relate to/despise/want to share anything I post.

K great. Thanks!

Maybe this is my song of the week. Maybe I’ve listened to it more than 50 times already. Maybe I also want it to come true in my life. Maybe.
