:redstar: I'm going skiing this weekend/seeing my grandparents.
:star: It was almost 70 today. It's February. (And I don't even live in anywhere that is usually warm about now.)
:ylwstar: My boyfriend.
:lgrnstar: My ear piercings are starting to behave themselves better.
:bluestar: I got accepted to college.
:dkpurpstar: Coffee.


I"m not sure all of those are really 'beautiful'... But I think I needed this right now. Thanks.

You can have peace or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.
There's a drive in me that won't allow me to do certain things that are easy.
This was freedom. Losing all hope was freedom.
I just don't want to die without a few scars.
One of the hardest things in life is having words in your heart that you can't utter.
War does not determine who is right, only who is left.
You've got to burn me. Make me bleed. Turn my pain into fantasy. And if I scream it's only just, love can hurt much more than lust.

:lpurpstar: The unconditional love/connection/bond Jem and I share.
:grnstar: Music
:bluestar: Maggie, my dog :)
:redstar: My garden and how alive it seems during the day and then how peaceful it seems at night.

“There is no use trying,” said Alice; “One can’t believe impossible things!”
“I dare say you haven’t had much practise,” said the Queen. “When I was your age, I always did it for half an hour a day
Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.” - Lewis Carroll


God grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to the difference.
