"Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you can find someone to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous." -Sex and the City

definitely one of my favorite groups and songs ♥ sing-a-long. you know you want to.

"Sometimes in life, you find a special friend. Someone who changes your life just by being a part of it. Someone who makes you laugh until you can't stop. Someone who makes you believe that there really is good in the world. Someone who convinces you that there really is an unlocked door just waiting for you to open it. This is forever friendship. When you're down and the world seems dark and empty, your forever friend lifts you up in spirit and makes that dark and empty world suddenly seem bright and full. Your forever friend gets you through the hard times, the sad times and the confused times. If you turn and walk away, your forever friend follows. If you lose your way, your forever friend guides you and cheers you on. Your forever friend holds your hand and tells you that everything is going to be okay. And if you find such a friend, you feel happy and complete because you need not worry. You have a forever friend, and forever has no end."

our future home. . .

this is one of my favorite quotes. . .

for a long time it seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. but there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. at last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life. this perspective has helped me to see there is no way to happiness. happiness is the way. so treasure every moment you have and remember that time waits for no one.

happiness is a journey, not a destination. . .

so, it's like you hear a song on the radio, but you've just gotta see what else is playing before you actually want to listen to that song. what happens if a great song comes on and you missed it though, so you flip back, but all you get is the news and then you went from something to nothing. -anonymous

east village, nyc

this is a piece that scotty surprised me with this holiday. those of you who live in or have visited nyc have maybe seen the "i love you" graffiti around mostly downtown. this print was taken in the east village by a photographer named ciaran tully. this irish artist takes some of my favorite photos of the city. check him out at http://www.ciarantully.com/

"We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering -these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love -these are what we stay alive for." -dead poets society

and i quote. . .

life isn't suppose to be an all or nothing battle between misery and bliss. life isn't suppose to be a battle at all. and when it comes to happiness, well, sometimes life is just okay, sometimes it's comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes boring, sometimes unpleasant. when your day's not perfect, it's not a failure or terrible loss. it's just another day. -barbara shar

"Buy a blank notebook. Draw a huge heart on the cover. Don’t write anything negative in here. If you need another outlet, make a separate notebook. This one is all about love, personal growth, and getting back up. Fill it with beautiful images, reaffirming thoughts, and quotes. Write in it every day, and each day write one thing you’re grateful for in your life." -Kim, Advice from a Mermaid in a Manhole
