“there is a world beyond this one…”

I love this poem. I love this woman. She has so much power, her words hold so much power.

you write something that everyone understands, it is a brilliant piece of literature. but if you write something that only one person understands, it is a love letter.

I’m afraid of time… I mean, I’m afraid of not having enough time. Not enough time to understand people, how they really are, or to be understood myself. I’m afraid of the quick judgements or mistakes everybody makes. You can’t fix them without time. I’m afraid of seeing snapshots, not movies.

Listener - Wooden Heart (via PMbasementshow)

A friend sent me this on Facebook and I thought this was the most incredible thing I have heard in a while.

I downloaded (no I paid for it) the Mumford and Sons album “Sigh No More” but then I was doing some more spring cleaning and I found this video and I’ve had it on repeat for the last half hours. I thought I would share it with you all, seeing as for some strange reason you like the same crap I like.

According to “500 Days Of Summer” this doesn’t make us soul mates.

America, fuck your yellow ribbon.
You wanna to support our troops?
Bring them home,
And hold them tight when they get here.
