wolves.

it was Socks' 6th birthday yesterday! :)

 a bird's nest on a branch that broke off. luckily there weren't any eggs!

i was feeling so excited when i got this in the mail! a beautiful print i won in a giveaway from Blaze. she is the loveliest lady ever! and such a talented artist too. you can visit her shop here and get her 2012 calendar! :)

i've noticed that i've been updating the blog every 5 days or so, like clockwork. hahaha that's tacky. but do know that i'll be blogging more often soon! my exams end in 9 days (!!!) and i'm looking for models to photograph. :)

also, i've been planning to open a shop to sell prints of my photos! probably on bigcartel or etsy, i'm not quite sure yet. i'd very much love it if any of you could give me any advice/feedback or your opinions, i'd be really grateful. :) please and thank you, loves.

hope you're all having a great weekend xxx

“I’ve learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow. I’ve learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I’ve learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you’ll miss them when they’re gone from your life. I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.” I’ve learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I’ve learned that you shouldn’t go through life with a catcher’s mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw something back. I’ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one. I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Shelter.

i love the city but at times i feel like going away to a heaven on earth and just be. the city and its buildings and concrete constricts and restricts us. i want to let my eyes roam over lands and see far far away of the same vastness. the city makes me forget from time to time and all i need with me is my memory-keeper and music that makes me cry. when the universe has told me what to do, i will be home and content once more with my most important people by my side. :)

also, i thank all of you who read my blog, and especially those who commented on my last post. all of your words helped me so much and made me feel very much reassured! blogging has changed me for better and made me realize that no beauty is lost in the world and there are people who feel exactly as i do. i am incredibly grateful for all the friendships i have gained since i started. :)

holocene.

thus far in life, there has been moments when reality and my expectations have crossed paths and that is when i feel most alive. i talked to a great friend of mine and we talked about leaving school and how we both felt about it and growing up and life and how life can make us feel so much at once. also, how our mind plays tricks on us we never know about and feeling nostalgic for something we've never felt nor experienced. i know i will miss so much, my high school friends and no more spending everyday with them and no more sharing everything. we have all grown up together and consequently grown on each other.

the rain today suits how i feel, i want to just snuggle up in bed and watch Harry Potter (which makes me feel better and makes me forget even for just awhile) and for this month to be over with in an instant.

all my love x

impossible thoughts.

if there really is one for one of all of us, how can i travel the whole world to find mine? it's an almost impossible feat and i wonder where that person might be, i imagine myself being a giant and looking in far corners of the world, searching. and so i lead myself to un-believe in such things as soulmates. and yet there's the little longing of wanting to believe in it, in the highest hopes that maybe the truth behind the myth exists and i will so, start to search or maybe not (maybe he could just be right here) and be so lucky to find him.

for now, those thoughts are mere dreams of no real value, for i have so many other, more exciting plans for my near future. but i believe i am almost certain that a day will come when i question if there is more to life than accomplishments and in fact, we are all here to live more closely, more fully with one other person (for i am neither a Summer nor a Tom, i believe more than Summer and trust less than Tom)
