…lifts us up where we belong
…makes the world go ’round
…is all ya need
it is not a feeling but a state of being.
“i have forgotten all my learnings, but from knowing you I have become a scholar…”
it has to start from somewhere deep inside yourself. if you don’t have an understanding of what it means to be in love with you, how can you be able to love anyone else? everyone else is a mirror.
no one will ever be good enough without first loving yourself.
strength must come from that infinite place,
you came alone and alone you shall leave
and in between there will be beautiful people and place to love
and that is the beauty of life
it expands you
it flows through you and makes you look at the world with child-like eyes of wonder
“The lovely one whispers under her breath, and you go mad, witless, no reason left…O Lord, what is this chant, what magic art, that weaves its spell on even a stone heart?” ~Rumi
where your thoughts end, love begins
“…en el amor como agua de mar te has destado:
mido apenas los ojos mas extensos del cielo
y me inclino a tu boca para besar la tierra”
“…in love you have loosened yourself like sea water:
I can scarcely measure the sky’s most spacious eyes
and I lean down to your mouth to kiss the earth.”
~Pablo Neruda
where there is love there is no question.
in love, the impossible becomes possible
No one can measure, not even poets, how much a heart can hold.

just leave me here love
I just get so filled up with…well, with what? Love? Oh god that sounds so cheesy. Lust for life? Maybe.
I bet you have already heard this song already but it is one of those ones you can’t listen to just once in a row. It amazes me how relevant this song is for so many people I know right now, myself included. This song has everything going for it, good lyrics, good vocals, good background music. Oh and not to mention the music video is captivating. Raw.
Whatever it is, it makes me want to throw all social norms out the fucking window and dance and sing at the top of my lungs. There are not many things I can do in a daily routine that will quell this thirst of self-expression.
I want to be in the woods. I want to commune with the trees and the natural cycles of life, not this concrete jungle that force feeds me lies of an ethnocentric, consumerist culture focused on the individual.
I’m figuring out how to channel this energy into more productive things than dreams. Dreams ain’t gonna pay the bills or save the world* (my #1 priority)
a piece of my heart was left there
I love how he just belts this out, and the guitar is pleasantly reminiscent of Vampire Weekend.
*I have a healthy understanding that no person, no matter how amazing can “save” the world. It is just too long and wide and contains way too many conflicting interests for anyone to feel burdened by this grand task. There is no need to place so much pressure on yourself. Still, I am an optimist and will never give up the hope that maybe I will be able to effect some positive change that will last.
…. w h e r e do we go from here……..?

I love these guys.
This is a verse from the Bhagavad-Gita that Gandhi quotes in his Autobiography (I highly highly reccomend it. It is comforting as well as inspirational to see that someone who made such a huge impact on the World was still just a man, he made mistakes too) that I love. I also wonder, whoever wrote the Gita must have also experienced these things for themselves. They must have gone through the experience of being completely consumed by their desires and minds. If not, how could they have written such a beautiful work with so much wisdom? Even the Buddha experienced extreme pain and made mistakes (or conscious choices) in his life, such as renounce the material world which included his wife and son to pursue enlightenment.
“If one ponders on objects of the sense, there springs attraction; from attraction grows desire, desire flames to fierce passion, passion breeds recklessness; then the memory- all betrayed- lets noble purpose go, and saps the mind, till purpose, mind, and man are all undone.” -Bhagavad-Gita
