This is beautiful.
So incredibly beautiful…
“we all have the same holes in our hearts…
everything falls apart at the exact same time
that it all comes together perfectly for the next step
but my fear is this prison… that I keep locked below the main deck
I keep a key under my pillow, it’s quiet and it’s hidden
and my hopes are weapons that I’m still learning how to use right
but they’re heavy and I’m awkward…always running out of fight
so I’ve carved a wooden heart, put it in this sinking ship
hoping it would help me float for just a few more weeks”
31 Republican men voted against the Violence Against Women Act in the Senate today. All 5 Republican women voted for it.
Today in sad phrases: “Voted against the Violence Against Women Act.”
really makes a statement doesn’t it
This song came on Pandora and an onslaught of memories came with it. God, the specific memory of this song, your voice, I still can remember every emotion I felt and every thought that ran through my mind. Bittersweet would be the best way to describe it.
“One restless summer, we found love, growing wild
On the banks of a river on a well beaten path
It’s funny how those memories they last
Like strawberry wine and seventeen
The hot July moon saw everything
My first taste of love, oh, bittersweet
The green on the vine like strawberry wine.”
Deane Carter, Stawberry Wine
The humorous thing was this quote came from a song we often sang together and it reminds me of how we met, when we were happy together, but now it laments how I feel looking back.
How much does it cost, I’ll buy it
The time is all we’ve lost, I’ll try it
But he can’t even run his own life
I’ll be damned if he’ll run mine, Sunshine
Sunshine by Jonathan Edward
Thinking about disappearing for a day. To rome with no intent of going anywhere. To be in a place where no one knows my name, but I’m not alone. The busyness surrounding me while I just stopped thinking and stood. To be in the middle of Pittsburgh right now would be nice. I keep thinking if I just go, if I just leave this place…
If only I didn’t have responsibilities.
I feel like this explains why I always accomplish things at night….and end up being lazy all afternoon.
