There are few things better than knowing people want you to succeed, will assist you however they can and guide you through the ebbs and flows.

there is this unspoken pressure to identify yourself, to check one box.  who do you love, what do you do, who are you?

it is ok to fit into more than one box, don't you think?

it's the push-pull between various parts of ourselves that makes everything so difficult and lovely. 

one thing remains constant: my love for plaid.

the most sincere, the most genuine, and the truest form of someone can be seen in all the ways that they've never changed, in all the places, routines and loves that have been part of them all along.

so, next time, observe and be inspired by what you learn about others.  it is truly a big "ah-ha" moment.

Hesitant fall.  This is California for you.  Summer is fading but yet fall is never truly here.  Indian summers prevail.  I want boots, scarves and coats.

For every tear, there is a smile. Balance.

“You may not be her first, her last, or her only. She loved before she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together but if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold onto her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.”

Bob Marley.  Truth.

"miss her when she's not there"  -- if a dude said this to me, swoon.

work attire.  interview outfit ideas.  work functions.  enjoy.

Being in your twenties is some sort of effed up, you know?  You've had this conversation in a variety of different dialogues before.  This was the conclusion, no?  Even when the pieces of your life comes together in such a beautiful way, you still look back and say, "damn, that was hard." 

But I guess, that's kind of the point.  :)

i am forever saving the best for last. the best outfit... the best bite of yum... just saving it all for that moment.

i'm terrified that this present moment isn't ... enough. enough for me to give it all away. so i save and save. naturally, dissappointment is inevitable. it's true- you build up that moment and you are never satisfied.

that's one of my biggest fears. what if i'm never satisfied. what if i'm constantly searching for that moment. what if i miss it.

somehow, there is time...

life loves to be busy.  but, somehow, there's always time.  remember that.

clear heart.

I want it all. the phrase that keeps us up at night. let's face it- we are all overachievers at heart.
