I felt like I needed to refresh my own memory.

dancing well over the line of too silly.

I think that New Years resolutions are silly. Not really the concept, but what it has become. I don't think we should only be setting goals and be trying to improve ourselves and our lives at one time of the year. I think we should be doing that all the time. So the tradition of 'Oh, time to set that goal to lose weight again' holds no meaning if you're not trying to improve all the rest of the year. Especially when most people give up or forget about their resolutions a very short amount of time after making them. Are we really so focused on living that we forget to live?

So I'm making some resolutions. Because things in my life have gotten way too silly, and I cannot handle it this way.

I resolve to: not over analyze everything; not just watch myself getting hurt and tolerate it; not let things get so silly; 'smile'; not worry about drama things that don't matter; not blame myself for everything wrong in my life; live in the moment and not worry about things I can't control; don't throw my problems onto other people, even if that means stifling everything; not throw myself into something if my heart's not into it; remember that everything is not my fault; not let the monsters under my skin win {in the long run}; not torture myself with love songs and chick flicks; never let them see I bruise;

you keep tearing out the sutures.

 

Nothing Better by The Postal Service

Dear you,

I'm sorry, but you are much too silly.

It is getting a little ridiculous.

Your heart won't heal right if you keep tearing out the sutures.

And you're driving me crazy.

Because I don't feel like disappointing everyone anymore.

And you leave me with too much to live up to.

It's not healthy being in the business of hating people.

You're hurting more people than you realize.

the best best friend ever.

 It's good to know that after days that are especially way too silly there are best friends out there who will make you a cupcake and draw you a lovely picture, then leave it on your doorstep as a nice little surprise. Especially when all three gestures are chock full of inside jokes and dripping with thoughtfulness. The only thing missing was some soup:)

♥ ♥

smile like you mean it.

I just thought I'd let it be known that I have the best best friend ever:)


♥ ♥

but she can't relax, with his hand on the small of her back..

I've been thinking about black and white photos. I like them.. I think I'll try it out because.. I never really have...

Do you ever wonder?

♥ ♥

Silliness. To a tee.

I feel so silly...

I keep deleting what I've written because I don't know how to say how I feel, or what I actually want to say...
So here we go..
{note: it figures that it only came out in song lyrics in the end.}

When the moon fell in love with the sun
all was golden in the sky,
all was golden when the day met the night.

I feel I must interject here, though.
I'd gotten carried away
feeling sorry for myself
with these revisions,
and gaps in history.
I needed myself to remember
I'd made charts and graphs that finally
made it clear.
I'd prepared a lecture,
on why I had to leave.

And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
if it does not exist.

But I wanted so badly to believe
that there is truth that love is real.
And I wanted life in every word
to the extent that it's absurd.

(I had built you a home in my heart
with rotten wood, it decayed from the start)

So, I backed away..
And you let me go.

...

Then, when the sun found the moon
she was drinking tea in a garden
under the green umbrella trees
in the middle of summer.

Darling,
You are the only exception..

And up until now
I had sworn to myself that I'm
content with loneliness.

They will see us waving from such great heights, 
"Come down now," they'll say.
...But everything looks perfect from far away,

"Come down now," but we'll stay..

...

You stood with a well intentioned man..

so just say how to make it right.
And I swear I'll do my best to comply..

Tell me,
are you right..
to think that there could be nothing better?

You've got a lure I can't deny,
But they've had their chance.
So, please, say goodbye..

(Trust me,
you're heart won't heal right 
if you keep tearing out the sutures..)

(you're tearing out my sutures..)

...


You are the only exception..
And I'm on my way to believing.

Note to self:

because somethings are just too silly.

The only exception.

When I was younger
I saw my daddy cry
and curse at the wind.
He broke his own heart
and I watched
as he tried to reassemble it.

And my momma swore that
she would never let herself forget.
And that was the day that I promised
I'd never sing of love
if it does not exist.

But darling,
You are the only exception..
You are the only exception..
You are the only exception..
You are the only exception..

Maybe I know, somewhere
deep in my soul
that love never lasts.
And we've got to find other ways
to make it alone;
keep a straight face.

And I've always lived like this

keeping a comfortable distance.

And up until now

I had sworn to myself that I'm

content with loneliness.

Because none of it was ever worth the risk.
Well, you are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.

I've got a tight grip on reality,
but I can't
let go of what's in front of me here.
I know you're leaving
in the morning when you wake up.
Leave me with some kind of proof it's not a dream.

You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.
You are the only exception.

And I'm on my way to believing.
