“There are better things ahead than any we leave behind.”
– C. S. Lewis (via girlwithoutwings)
I remember tears streaming down your face
When I said, “I’ll never let you go”
When all those shadows almost killed your light
I remember you said, “Don’t leave me here alone”
But all that’s dead and gone and passed tonight
Just close your eyes
The sun is going down
You’ll be alright
No one can hurt you now
Come morning light
You and...
“The rain’s the rain. Some air’d be good for you…”
– Jack’s Mannequin
Your life is a flashback
A question, a photograph
A statement, a story, a struggle
A chance to laugh
‘Cause if you don’t laugh, you cry
A last crescendo when you die
So hit the rewind and listen
It’s the playback
The soundtrack to your life
“Don’t let your happiness depend on something you may lose.”
– C.S Lewis (St. Augustine)
Anger, he smiles, towering in shiny metallic purple armor Queen Jealousy, envy waits behind him Her fiery green gown sneers at the grassy ground Blue are the life-giving waters taken for granted They quietly understand The once happy turquoise armies lay opposite ready But wonder why the fight is on But they’re all bold as love Yeah, they’re all bold as love They’re all...
Goodbye, hello to all the madness 7 billion ways to bury sadness Going back and forth But you’re pulling me in I’m going back and forth Show me where to begin
“God is great, beer is good, and people are crazy.”
Belief is a beautiful armor But makes for the heaviest sword Like punching under water You never can hit who you’re trying for

You’re only gonna let me down
When it counts, you countdown
You’re only gonna turn me out
As I burn, you burn out
Saturday, January 14th:
If you’re feeling an urge to take a break from the world and be by yourself, respect and obey that urge. Just be sure that you aren’t too irresponsible about it! Don’t drop off the face of the earth and leave people guessing — today, make sure you let people know where you are (both emotionally and physically). If you can’t tear yourself away...
All I see are stepford-like lives
Needles and knives, beautiful lies
Bringing out the green in your eyes
Perfect disguise for envy and pride
Face me
Make me listen to the truth even if it breaks me
Judge me, love me
If you’re hating me, do it honestly
“If you have to keep wondering where you stand with someone, perhaps it’s...”

Whatever your problem or challenge may be, laugh at it. Laugh long and hard.
Because you are forever and it is temporary.
Love you,

Ain’t no pain or vice that you won’t prevail over and be more for. And knowing this will hasten its retreat and blessings.

“A best friend is like a four leaf clover: hard to find and lucky to have.”
– Sarah Jessica Parker
Oh, I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again

While it’s often fashionable to dwell upon what might have been, Jena, what’s usually overlooked is that really and truly, it couldn’t have.
Because, invariably, any romanticized versions of how things “might have been,” are based upon fictionalized versions of the past.
Un-hun,

You see, Jena, most of the time when people think the present...
It was a long and dark December From the rooftops I remember There was snow, white snow Clearly I remember From the windows they were watching While we froze down below When the future’s architectured By a carnival of idiots on show You’d better lie low If you love me, won’t you let me know? Was a long and dark December When the banks became cathedrals And a fox...
Rockin’ my Magic shirt for the flight back to Otown. Yay for basketball and the end of the stupid lockout! Now if only we can still keep the Allstar game… *fingers crossed*
