November 25th

Even in this sadness I can see the beauty.

I'm reminded of how human I am.

It reminds me that I'm alive.

It also shows me that I'm strong enough to open my heart again. 

--------------------------------------------------------

    I keep flashing back to listening to him on the piano...

The way his fingers danced over the keys,

I was completely mesmerized.

I wanted to know him. 

The aura that he carried felt surreal.

It was like a glittery golden essence, that I felt lucky to get a glimpse of...

everything

This song has been breaking my heart.

   Cause everything is nothing til you have someone to share it with..

Damn.

I’m usually pretty strong but this one definitely hurt….

"EVERYTHING" by Passenger

Youtube Video - Passenger "Everything"

[Verse 1]
When you got nothing
Freewheeling and free falling you go
When you got nothing you've got something to proveThen you get something
Something that you've always dreamed about
When you got something you've got something to lose

[Chorus 1]They'll take everything
They'll take your spark
They'll take everything
They'll break your heart
They'll take everything
Oh cause nothing's ever something
Until you lose everything

[Verse 2]
Before you got everything
You're flying high, you don't wanna come down
But something stirs down in your soul
If everything is nothing
Til you got somebody to share it with
Somebody to have somebody to hold

[Chorus 2]
Give 'em everything
Give 'em light and dark
Give 'em everything
Give 'em all your heart
Give 'em everything
Yeah, 'cause nothing's ever something
'Til you give everything

[Outro]
Cause nothing's lost forever
Yeah, but some things they never change
You know that anything is better
When you've got love
You've got everything
You've got everything
Oh oh, everything
Oh oh, everything
Oh oh, everything
Yeah, 'cause nothing's ever something
'Til you give everything

invisible illness

My mother sent me this today - http://www.stumbleupon.com/su/2hpUoh?ref_src=sms

Pretty accurate portrayal of living with type 1 diabetes. Just because I don't look sick doesn't mean I'm not. I just hide it pretty well.

I spoke to Jill the other week. I miss her classes immensely, and pedagogy and all the knowledge and life lessons she instilled in us. I feel very lucky to have had such wonderful mentors in my life. Ones who taught me to get outside my comfort zone and anything that's worth it requires hard work and diligent focus. Jill was one of the great ones who taught me lessons that I still think about today. #mentors #deancollege #ballet #wonderfulteacher #thankfuleveryday

a beautiful kind of happy

wow.

seriously pinching myself.
never connected with anyone on this level.

the brilliance he radiates lights up my life.
the attraction is so beyond  surface level.
feeling like he sees me for everything that I am, and that my real beauty is my heart...

floating and feeling like the epitome of a cliche.
but just gonna soak it all in.

cause it's a beautiful kind of happy.
