A List of Recently.




~Dad's home! Safe, and tan, and glowing with this other worldliness that I am dying to understand myself one day. Every time her goes to Haiti I am wishing I was with him. And someday that will be. But for now, I'm brushing up on my creole....and by brushing up I mean ordering dictionaries and phrase books online and desperately trying to teach myself.

~There is something very potent about fresh air and sunshine. Even as I welcome every breath of it, I'm struggling to keep my focus on school when the earth itself is buzzing awake right outside my window. Thank God I am currently on Spring break and school is the last thing on my mind.

~I really adore my little sister. I wish she could see herself through my eyes. I just feel like her goodness is going to change one little kid at a time. And she doesn't even see how beautiful she is....inside and out. She just radiates peace to me. If I hear about ANY boys breaking her heart I will become a non-characteristically violent person and kick some sacks.

~I have this habit of setting my alarm clock an hour ahead of the time I think I might wanna start waking up. I'm convinced that the most pleasurable sleep intervals are the ones between my Dave Matthews ringtone/alarm.

~I'm taking a giant leap of faith this weekend....and finally taking my guitar to play and sing somewhere outside my bedroom. I'm terrified. And excited. But mostly terrified. I've trained myself into saying no whenever anyone asks me to play, but I realized recently that I'm afraid of a lot of thing the majority of the time. And thats no way to do your living. So here's to saying Yes, and letting go, and trusting in the greatest invisible friend there is to have your back no matter how badly you are afraid to fail.

~My stomach makes the most ridiculous noises, I am starting to convince myself that I'm having conversations with an alien child residing there.

~At this very moment, someone is thinking about how absolutely beautiful you are.
