The mess that is my mind

listening to: too long by yeal naim
word love: fernweh- a crave for travel; being homesick for a place you've never been

{via}

Alright, I am going to show you the place where the escence of my life is contained. By seeing it you are automatically sworn to secracy. 
that means if you tell, I call the FBI and they find out where you live so they can do a fancy kick and knock down your door. ya, I can do that.

And that's as close as you get. Yes, I know it's not very big, it doesn't have to be. I write in morse code. k, not really but I might as well, this thing catches everything from my scattered brain and neatly tucks it away: verses, song lyricks, things to do, pictures i need to try, storys, post ideas, doodles, and those random things that I probably have no buisness thinking about.

Well, almost everything. The rest I just forget to write down, or i dont have my notebook with me.   Bleah Brian is such agood writer, and I loved the way she put it in her post:

I wish I had a jar in which I could store all of my thoughts. I think this would be the perfect solution for any overthinker really. If I had a jar made specifically for my thoughts I would catch them like lightning bugs and keep them beside my bed. I would name them all, and sort them all, and keep them all within reach. But they wouldn't be allowed to run rampant withing my mind, they wouldn't be allowed to overtake me. I would keep them all organized and in line, I would be able to see all of them all the time and make sure they behaved.

it's so simple. someone please find out how to do this. meanwhile, my notebook will suffice.

To make a Prairie

listening to: the show by Lenka
word love: phosphenes- the stars and colors you see when you rub your eyes 

To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee,
One clover, and a bee,
And revery.
the revery alone will do,
If bees are few.

-Emily Dickinson

o goodness and gumdrops I love Emily Dickinson! Her poetry is simple and beautiful- I think this has to be one of my favorite-ist poems ever.

I am a quote junkie (see my new nifty quote box in the side bar), but every once in a while replacing "quote love" at the top I will put "word love" with a crazy dictionary word that makes me happy. 
unfortunately i found some flaws with the English dictionary :(

Words that do not exist in the English language:

l' esprit de escalier: (French) The feeling you get after leaving a conversation, when you think of all the things you should have said. Translated it means "the spirit of the staircase."

waldeinsamkeit: (German) The feeling of being alone in the woods

meraki: (Greek) Doing something with soul, creativity, or love

forelsket: (Norwegian) The euphoria you experience when you are first falling in love.

gheegle: (Filipino) The urge to pinch or squeeze something that is unbearably cute.

pochemuchka: (Russian) A person who asks a lot of questions.

pena ajena: (Mexican Spanish) The embarrassment you feel watching someone else's humiliation

cualacino: (Italian) The mark left on a table by a cold glass.

saudade (sow-da-jee): (Portuguese, Galician) the feeling one gets when realizing one once had is lost and can never be had again

another reason why I want to be poly-lingual. some day!... why you laugh? It will happen I tell you!

okloveyoubye. :)

how to have a lovely day

listening to: new soul by Yael Naim
quote love: and if the music is good, you dance.

• listen to music
• dance and sing without worring what you look like
• take a walk, camara in hand
• pray, read, and write
• where something that makes you feel good
• drink tea
• eat ice cream
• wear perfume
• tell somebody you love them
• say please and thankyou
• watch the sunrise or sunset
• smile and laugh (a lot!)
• bake something sweet for someone else
• handwrite a letter to a friend
• wish others a lovely day

happy thursday

listening to: I wouldn't mind by He is We
quote love: you can't buy happiness, but you can buy ice cream, and that's kind of the same thing.

Well.

I am afraid I have to apologize (once again) for disappearing on all my lovely followers like that.

But I have a confession to make. 

I have developed an obsession for oxfords.
