guilty pleasure.

so guilty that i don't even feel guilty.

apart from being a fox, the man's got pipes.

Listen to it here.

"I Was Broken" - Robert Pattinson


I was alone
I was tired but now im bound
My head is off the ground
For a long time I was so weary
Tired of the sound, I've heard before
Knowing of the nights I'm out the door
Haunted by the things I've made
Stuck between the burning light and the dusty shade

Said I used to think the past was dead and gone
But I was wrong, so wrong
Whatever makes you blind must make you strong, make you strong
In my time I've melted into many forms
From the day that I was born, I know that there is no place to hide
Stuck between the burning shade and the fading light

I was broken for a long time
But it's over now
Said I was broken for a long time
But it's over now

Yes and you,
yeah well you walk these lonely streets that people send, people send
There are some wounds that just can't mend
And I do pretend
Now I'm free from all the things that take my friends
And I will stand here till the end
Now I know I can take the moon
Stuck between the burning shade and the faded light
I was broken for a long time
But it's over now, it's over now
Mm it's over now, now, now
It's over now, it's over now.
It's over now, now

Said I was broken for a long time
But it's over, but it's over
But it's over, but it's over
But it's over, but it's over
But it's over now, now, now, now
But it's over, love is over
But it's over now
But it's over, love is over
But it's over now, now, now
I was broken for a long time now
But it's over, but it's over now yeah
Over now, it's all over, it's over now.

realizing

i'm realizing things lately that i thought i already knew but didn't quite grasp.
that's an unsettling feeling - discovering something you thought was already true to you.
things about myself, things about what i want and how to get there, things about the core of what the heck i'm trying to do. and i'm still realizing, which makes me doubt it all entirely.

these are things i should not just now be realizing.

there's no ticking clock for them, but i just figured i was already past them, and apparently i'm not quite yet. odd.
all i can seem to do is take these waves of information in strides, bending and turning as my mind wraps around them and squeezes tight.
i'm realizing growing up has no charts, graphs, expectations or averages as to how you're supposed to do it.

i'm both rejuvenated and terrified of this fact.
but that won't stop me from realizing. realizing and adapting.
woah.

i want i want, i need i need.

to T R A V E L

I need to dip my toes in a distant shore.

I need to breath deep the foreign air.

I need to be horribly confused by a street map.

I need to eat gelato for 2 euros.

I need to wander happily, with no concern for getting lost.

I need to converse with the locals and giggle with passerby's.

I need to take photos, lots and lots of photos.

I need to sip cappuccino and people watch at a corner cafe.

I need to buy useless trinkets so that whenever I see them I will be reminded or that time and that place where I bought it.

I need to scratch my name in a tree or park bench so I have another reason to come back (and search for it).

I need to buy cheap wine that tastes just as good as a spendy US bottle.

I need to laugh, make memories and revel in new opportunities.

I want I want, I need I need to travel.

awake

"How fickle my heart and how woozy my eyes
I struggle to find any truth in your lies
And now my heart stumbles on things I don't know
This weakness I feel I must finally show

Lend me your hand and we'll conquer them all
But lend me your heart and I'll just let you fall
Lend me your eyes I can change what you see
But your soul you must keep, totally free

In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life
In these bodies we will live, in these bodies we will die
Where you invest your love, you invest your life

Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
Awake my soul, awake my soul
Awake my soul
You were made to meet your maker
You were made to meet your maker."
