I've created & kept this blog to compile the thoughts, dreams and wisdom that I've discovered from others or merely written myself. This blog is, in a sense, an expression of everything that is me.. Whether I wrote it or not. The most recent entries are a series of quotes, lyrics and videos.. But travel back through the archives and you'll delve deep into my heart, through my own words.

To those who I've quoted or borrowed from: Thank you for being beautiful.. for deeply inspiring me in one way or another. I hope you find that I've used your material in an appropriate fashion.. I try always to cite my sources. I take NO credit for that which is not my own.

Liberation.


Fuel - "Shimmer"


Everytime I hear that, it makes me want to dance. To throw my hands up in the air and spin in circles, over and over, and dance like no one can see me. Every single time.

Usually, I do it in my head.

Dancing to songs is one of the most liberating things for me. Not caring, not worrying what people think... Just existing in a moment and taking full advantage of the fact that (1) you are breathing, (2) you CAN dance, and (3) something about a beat, melody or lyric can inspire so many people for so many different reasons... That's liberation. That is love. That is what it is to be alive, and to know appreciation. To recognize and capture beauty.


"I reach toward the sky, I've said my goodbyes,
My heart's always with you now."
