Love, Life, Random
22, Long Island girl with her heart in NYC. There's not much to know about me, but these are some of the things that make me happy.

Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder”

So corny but more people should remember how true this is.

Cute, but unfortunately not many can do all five of these at once permanently. But definitely rules to live by.

We lived, as usual, by ignoring. Ignoring isn’t the same as ignorance, you have to work at it.

That awkward moment
When you are in a room full of people and you realize that everyone under 30 is on their laptops ignoring each other. While the “adults” are having a real heartfelt conversation.

Jack’s Mannequin - Cellular Phone
Ring me up
On my Cellular Phone
So I know I’m not alone
In a world full of vampires
Come on honey
Talk me down
On that Cellular Phone
Because I can’t get home
I’m a slave to the wires
I’ve done this before
I can do it more

‘nough said.
Falling in love, we said; I fell for him. We were falling women. We believed in it, this downward motion: so lovely, like flying, and yet at the same time so dire, so extreme, so unlikely. God is love, they once said, but we reversed that, and love, like heaven, was always just around the corner. The more difficult it was to love the particular man beside us, the more we believed in Love, abstract and total. We were waiting, always, for the incarnation. That word, made flesh.

you cried and you cried and you cried wolf
so it took me a minute to understand that you really were hurt bad
the day you deeply cut your hand
and then that look that you gave me
sent me rushing through guilt’s door
I’d already started to feel callous
like I really should care more
