i'll be fine
even though i’m not always right
i can count on the sun to shine
the dedication takes a lifetime
but dreams only last for a night
“Music is a total constant. That’s why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in your or the world, that one song says the same, just like that moment.”

i finally know that feeling of wanting something i know i will never be able to have.
it’s a terrible feeling, leaving the weak stuck dead in their tracks.

where are your guts to fly?
soaring through, through the night.
And if you take that last step
I’ll follow you
Leave the edge and fly
We’re finally alive.
“We play the part of heroes because we’re cowards, the part of saints because we’re wicked: we play the killer’s role because we’re dying to murder our fellow man: we play at being because we’re liars from the moment we’re born.”

“Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.”

“and when darkness surrounds me on all sides, for when all evil and hate and fear come to destroy me. I will pick up my sword and shield, and i will provoke them to come closer. For things of the darkness are cowardly and will never challenge those who stand there ground. But will chase those who run.”

“Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.”

My Definition.
Peace;
A word sometimes used too often, others- not enough.
A word I live my life by, and a word the world should run on.
A word so powerful, but used with no sincerity and heart.
A word that keeps us together.
A word, which without, we’d fall apart.
Love;
A word thrown around aimlessly, or unsaid when it’s present.
A word who’s power we underestimate.
Something we look for our entire lives,
but don’t realize when we have it.
A weapon of mass destruction,
or a bandage to hold us together.
Life;
Something that is underappreciated and unrecognized.
Something we dispose of and bring forth for ridiculous reasons.
Something we waste, and sometimes take from ourselves.
Something worth living for in and of itself.
i'd rather be
anything but ordinary, please.
Let down your defences
Use no common sense
If you look you will see
that this world is a beautiful
accident, turbulent, succulent
opulent permanent, no way
I wanna taste it
Don’t wanna waste it away.
Hello Brooklyn
All Time Low
Hello Brooklyn | All Time Low
Let the good times roll, we can let go
Everybody knows there’s a party at the end of the world

nonfiction love song.
Want to write a nonfiction love song
Cause I don’t have one yet
I’ve got almost and maybes
And what happened here baby
But not a love song
But we’ve got time to kill
All the reasons we should hold back
And I wear you on a
Locket ‘round my neck
And I haven’t opened it up yet
But I’ll look back and laugh I’ll bet
And tell you ‘bout these days
Like they are stories of old
And I wish my voice would echo
Through galaxies and such
To scratch the surface of
Explaining to you just how much I’m glad
You don’t have to try
You don’t have to change
Baby you stay just the same
Used to want time to run so quickly
Now crawling is fine
Cause the older I get the more
I see I need every moment
To let my roots grow down deep
So we’ve got time to kill
All the reasons we should hold back
And I wear you on a
Locket ‘round my neck
And I haven’t opened it up yet
But I’ll look back and laugh I’ll bet
And tell you ‘bout these days
Like they are stories of old
And I wish my voice would echo
Through galaxies and such
To scratch the surface of
Explaining to you just how much I’m glad
You don’t have to try
You don’t have to change
Baby you stay just the same
I’ll try not to wish you would hurry
I’m learning how not to worry
I don’t want to let you down
Could I sing to every week
make just enough for what we need
And walk together ‘round the town
I’ll try not to wish you would hurry
I’m learning how not to worry
I don’t want to let you down
Could I sing to every week
make just enough for what we need
And walk together ‘round the town
Wish my voice would echo
Through galaxies and such
To scratch the surface of
Explaining to you just how much I’m glad
You don’t have to try
You don’t have to change
Baby you stay just the same
-Jillian Edwards
“In a still photograph you basically have two variables, where you stand and when you press the shutter. That’s all you have. It can happen anytime, anywhere. I mean, you don’t have to be in front of stuff that’s going to make a good photograph. It’s possible anywhere.”
—Henry Wessel (via lisawiseman)
