So thankful for long walks through the marsh in the rain. For sitting with the sky pouring its heart upon me, watching while families of ducks and long-necked cranes push their way through the little rivers. I feel so honored to see the beauty I do, and to be surrounded by it on days like this. Sometimes I wish I were a small fox, able to drift in and out of the brush and maybe even speak the languages of all the wild things there. To sit in that place and watch the rain dance on the water for hours. That would be true happiness, I think

I've spent most of today looking up fairy stories and photos of ghostly children. Now I'm going to order a pizza and watch a medieval mystery! {it is a good day}

I'm so incredibly happy that autumn is here! It's gotten so chilly at night, and I've been wrapped in blankets with hot chocolate in my hand on more than one occasion this week.

A few weeks ago some friends and I saw Built to Spill on the local campus. I've been such a fan of this band for so long, and I couldn't fathom that the tickets were only $15! They played in a parking lot and there couldn't have been more than 50 people there. We rushed to the front as soon as they started and I watched everything from front row, center .. it was magical.
I've been extremely busy lately, so I apologize for not updating very often. I'm working almost everyday. And during free time I'm usually lost in book shops or cafes or on beer fueled adventures with friends. I have so many photos to post still, but I think I'll do it another time. Hope all of you little birds are well

positive change for me has been..
moving out of my comfort zone to a wild world. accepting that i'm a starved, loose, wandering, half crazed, poetically cursed and happy young thing with so much to offer the world. and getting closer to a place in which i'm so thrilled to be myself, amongst everybody else {as pretty as they are}.

Yesterday Kim, Tommy and I went to the beach. It was cold enough to wear a scarf, yet sunny enough to burn my cheeks and nose. I've never seen a more beautiful coast. The forest literally jets out into the sea. And there was a shallow creek that ran steadily from the mountains right out to the ocean. I had fun walking in the cool water and collecting pretty stones

Last saturday Kim and I walked to the farmer's market. It was busy as always and I needed to surround myself with happy faces and children playing in the grass. The strawberries from Trinidad that we're in love with were nowhere to be found, so instead we spent our money on flowers and herbs. I want to walk into every room of our home and catch the scent of a different flower each time. We settled on a basket of wildflowers and a bouquet of pretty pinks and whites, as well as 2 bushels of lavender. I put one on the windowsill above my desk, and every time the wind blows into my room I can smell them. It's lovely.

Breakfast this morning was so delicious. Warm, gooey, sweet things on a cold morning are just what I need.
I've been doing well on my own up here. Well, not so much on my own luckily, but supporting myself completely for the first time. My job is good, and I've met a lot of really sweet people there. I don't get paid as much as I could based on my past experience, but I'm still managing to make due and have money left over for frequent trips to sushi and bookshops and cafes. I'm in a good place.
And I've been thinking back to where I was this time last year and it's such an improvement. I'm out away from the stresses of my old home {though I do miss my mom so so much} and I've managed to finally surround myself with happy people. Unlike my old best friend, who never seemed to be happy with anything, and never missed a chance to complain about this or that. I think she wasn't happy with herself mostly, and it poisoned her relationships and friendships and outlook on life in general. I feel bad for her, although she chose to push me away with hateful words, I still hope she discovers a love for herself and what she's searching for in life. She just hasn't been able to see past all the wrongs the world has done to her. I hope she does soon so she can finally be happy. I've been thinking about her lately. And about others from my past. Mostly reflecting on things, and judging how far I've come from them and where I'm going. I feel much stronger and more content. The people I choose to spend time with see more of the beauty in life as opposed to the sorrows. I'm starting school again next year and am ready to start carving out a decent future for myself. I just hope the motivation lasts this time.
