there’s so much i want to say that i’ll never get to say. i’ve never been able to get over that. and the worst part is i know they’re things better off unsaid but that doesn’t make it easier.
Alison, 19.
I'm head over heels and constantly amazed by what the world has to offer. I'm a second year full-time student majoring in psych, with a minor in law; my ultimate goal is to help people in a practical way by working with kids as a child or school psychologist.
Besides academics, the most important things to me are singing and photography. For me, art speaks for itself, whether in writings, songs, films or photographs. It's the one thing that I feel doesn't have to be explained and picked apart as a technical science. It helps express the core of human emotions like love or hope or heartbreak in a way that nothing else can.
This blog is an assortment of daily ramblings, inspirations, and reflections that bring light to life.

"Every place reminded me of her. Philippe’s on third street, the park, the coffee shop… the air and the way it smelled in May and August because those were the months her favorite bushes grew flowers all over our neighborhood. They’re all triggers. Then it got better for a while. I mean, it…it did, out here. But the funny thing is that it just turns out that she’s here too. If only I could talk to her about getting over her… What I figured out is that when you love somebody that much, that hard, that long, you can never get away from them, no matter where you go. And that only comes once in a lifetime. I can’t get a handle on that… I can’t let go."

"Happiness in marriage is not something that just happens. A good marriage must be created. In the Art of Marriage, the little things are the big things. It is never being too old to hold hands. It is remembering to say ‘I love you’ at least once a day. It is never going to sleep angry. It is at no time taking the other for granted; the courtship should not end with the honeymoon; it should continue through all the years. It is having a mutual sense of values and common objectives. It is standing together facing the world. It is forming a circle of love that gathers in the whole family. It is doing things for each other, not in the attitude of duty or sacrifice, but in the spirit of joy. It is speaking words of appreciation and demonstrating gratitude in thoughtful ways. It is not expecting the husband to wear a halo or the wife to have the wings of an angel. It is not looking for perfection in each other. It is cultivating flexibility, patience, understanding and a sense of humor. It is having the capacity to forgive and forget. It is giving each other an atmosphere in which each can grow. It is finding rooms for things of the spirit. It is a common search for the good and the beautiful. It is establishing a relationship in which the independence is equal, dependence is mutual and obligation is reciprocal. It is not only marrying the right partner, it is being the right partner."

my bestfriend made me an apron for my birthday (including ric rac!). i’m hoping that it’s greatness will rub off on my cooking skills.

“Adele is not rock-’n’-roll. She is not self-consciously retro. She does not shimmy or shake. Hers is a plant-the-feet-and-belt delivery that has all but disappeared from the pop landscape. It should be deeply uncool. And yet, there is something startlingly refreshing about her youthful elegance and commanding presence—especially because she is a 23-year-old Cockney girl from Tottenham.”
