MY HOPE
bagcoffee:
For ever night I have to stay in, I know there will be a fun night out in the future.
For ever time I eat alone, I know there will be a night when I can pick-up the check for friends.
For every time I wish I was working on something I enjoyed, I know there will be a time where I couldn’t believe I’d be getting paid doing a job.
For every time I’m bored, I know there will be an...

i sang at open mic night last night, after way too much alcohol. people said i sounded good, but as usual i don’t believe them.

2. i can play the flute and sing better than the other instruments i own (guitar, keyboard, violin). my brother and i used to do this...

Find me the one who loves with her body and her mind; find me the one with words to...

Your impulses are beautiful.
playnice:
You are capable of being unguarded and naturally uninhibited and, when you are, you display a remarkable confidence. You’re very alive and powerful. The correct answers come to you without too much thought and you intuitively know what comes next. From time to time, it’s exciting to let your feelings guide you.
Today remind yourself: My impulses are beautiful.

lovely moment #7
loveleeallie:
I was feeling mixed up today, a lot more than usual, So I decided to take a walk. It was cold but I enjoyed it hitting my face. I sat by a the pond for awhile and let my mind run wild while listening to my iPod. I shed a few tears, I sang a little, I just tried to release all the tension around my heart. As I started to walk I decided to walk to the back of the green where I live...
