even if I’m going disposable camera-style for now. It’s just so much more magical that way.

Oh Martha, you crafty minx.

Someday, I will live in a little house by the ocean. And there will be a blue piano in the living room and hard wood floors and a room of all white. There will be airy windows and a perfect little fireplace and pretty wallpaper that’s just like the most lovely wrapping paper.

And I hope there will be you. We can live off of sunshine and love and happiness and I will write and you will do whatever makes you happy and we will have a fluffy cat with a silly name and it will all feel like we’ve found the secret magic that some people are too afraid to believe in.

I’ve always wanted a Betsey Johnson dress. They may be kind of high school prom, but they’re just such an icon of girliness and I want one.

ahazygirl:

I thrive on change.

I greet and embrace it.

It’s a good way to be.

Only every now and again do I hate how much I love instability.

I spent so much of my life terrified of change. I gripped the way thing were; even if it started to fall apart, I held on to the very last threads hoping they’d stay together. Change scared me. If things were good, or even if they weren’t, the unknown seemed too terrifying to handle. I ran from it all the time.

But then, something changed. I read something that Jason Mraz wrote and it changed my life. I got excited about things. Things did change, and my life became so much better than I had expected it would be. And I realized that change is good. Change is exciting. Change is life. And it’s scary but it’s so beautiful. I’ve come to be so in love with all the possibilities that I just can’t reject change. I want to live and experience all the shades and textures of life, and to sit on the sidelines out of fear isn’t something I ever want to do again.

want that paper!

As someone who takes great pride in wrapping, and would gladly become a professional “wrapper with a w” if it were an option and is also particularly fond of b&w, WANT.

"Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday but I realized some bigger dreams of mine."

“Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday
but I realized some bigger dreams of mine.”

- -Fifteen by Taylor Swift

This song may be a bit corny, but this line always gets me. Because I’m by no means a girl whose biggest dream is to get her MRS degree (ha) but sometimes I spend so much time worrying about finding the right guy that falling in love with someone forever becomes an important dream to me. But then I hear this line and I think about Taylor Swift, and I imagine her dreaming of marrying some boy, and then going on to become this wonderful, famous singer/songwriter, singing in front of thousands of people and making so many people so happy. And it makes me think that I need to stop worrying about things like boys, and focus on the things I want to do with my life. The love/family stuff will come some day, but I have some bigger dreams that I’d like to realize first, and I should focus on those.

The other night, I had a dream that I had just had a baby, and it was a girl. And the dream was actually about how much I was freaking the eff out, because, um, dont-want-baby-now. But despite that, in the dream, I loved her so much.

I hope that someday, in the distant future, when I’m married to a guy who makes me believe in soul mates, and when I can afford to dress her in j.crew crewcuts clothing, I get to have that.

And I also really hope that I’ll someday have two daughters, because I think that sisters are probably the most wonderful things in the world, and I want my daughters to have that, because I never did.
