Words to Live By

-"smile like you've never cried, fight like you've never lost, love like you've never been hurt, and live like there's no tomorrow."

-"don't play hard to get, play hard to forget."

-"if love doesn't make you feel a little crazy every now and then, it's not love."

-"let's sleep under the stars."

-"i get by with a little help from my friends."

-"laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live."

-"all good things are wild and free."

-"music is what feelings sound like."

-"you fit me better than my favorite sweater."

-"it's better to burn out than fade away."

-"when the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace."

***sometimes the most comfort comes from the words of others. one can always use a fresh perspective***

My Current Obsession: Endless Summer

in honor of the official start of SUMMER 2013...

with do much hype surrounding the movie and this poster hanging everywhere i turned, i was excited to finally get the opportunity to watch endless summer. unexpectedly comical and a great look into the history of surfing around the world, endless summer is both inspiring and informative. if nothing else it made me want to pack up my bags and leave the constraints of structured society behind! now all that is left for met to do is dig up my old surfboard and make it out to the beach. soon.

Daily Dose of Inspiration: Monday Morning Blues

everyone knows mondays are rough and the time change did not help. here are a few words of wisdom to keep is mind and hopefully help you get though the day.

My Current Obsession: Perks of Being A Wallflower

"we accept the love we think we deserve" --stephen chbosky

my new favorite movie. artsy and charismatically humorous, Stephen Chbosky does a wonderful job of creating a personal connection between the characters and the viewers. each character is unique; quirky and comforting there is a part of this story that every individual can relate to and find solace in. wistful acting accompanied by a rocking soundtrack makes perks of being a wallflower a thoughtful roller coaster ride of emotions and in my opinion one of the best films out in a long time. for even more perks, read the book. it is one of my favs also.
