They say life abroad moves slower. I believe them.
But I also believe that unless you're living fast, you're not living at all.
I want to live.

Violinist, Rome | 2006

"We fail to keep in touch these days,
I'm liquid cold, she's murder grey,
Hollowed by circumstance that pushed us both away.
They carved a message deep within our broken hearts that failed to mend:
Make out kids never had a chance to be best friends."

At some point you have to learn that nothing lasts forever, however much you want it to. Things change, and they will change you, however much you try to prevent it. Always remember that change is not necessarily a bad thing if you look at it in a positive light. If you accept the enevitable, and use it to your advantage then it can be enlightening to say the least. Change can cause you to see the past through different eyes. Not better, not worse, but different :)

I think I want to be with him for a very very long time. Today has given me faith that it is possible. We just have to be strong enough. I don't want to lose him. Can you understand how lost I would feel without him? He's my best friend. He takes my breath away by just being near me.

"You are calm and reposed. Let your beauty unfold. Pale white, like the skin stretched over your bones. Spring keeps you ever close. You are second hand smoke. You are so fragile and thin. Standing trial for your sins. Holding onto yourself the best you can. You are the smell before rain. You are the blood in my veins. Call me a safe bet. I'm betting I'm not. I'm glad that you can forgive. I'm only hoping as time goes, you can forget." The boy who blocked his own shot, Brand New.

Why can't I just let go?

~

"Sleep with all the lights on.
You're not so happy.
You're not secure.
You're dying to look cute in your blue jeans,
but you're plastic just like everyone.
You're just like everyone.
And that face you paint is pressed
impressing most of us as permanent
and I'd like to see you undone.
College night will draw the crowds.
Dorms unload & your heading out.
Here is your moment to shine.

Making up a history.
It's nothing from the life you lead
but man, will they buy all your lines.

Sleep with all the sheets off
bearing your mattress
bearing your soul.
And you're dying to look smooth with your tattoos
but you're searching just like everyone,
could be anyone.
And the friends that you have are the best
impressing most of us as permanent
and I'd like to see you undone.
Youth's the most unfaithful mistress.
Still we forge ahead to miss her.
Rushing our moment to shine.

Making up a history,
It's nothing from the life you lead
but man will they buy all your lines.

We're not twenty-one,
but the sooner we are,
the sooner the fun will begin.
So get out your fake eyelashes,
and fake I.D's,
and real disasters ensue,
it's cool to take these chances.
It's cool to fake romances
& grow up fast."

"So this is odd...the painful realisation that all has gone wrong. And nobody cares at all." The brilliant dance, Dashboard Confessional.

It's so easy to get caught up in all the petty problems of everyday life. When in actual fact, most of us have no problems whatsoever. There are some things in life which really matter, and always will, like friends, family and self fulifilment. In 10 years time, you'll have forgotten those stupid little complications that are bothering you now. In 10 years time, you won't have forgotten whether you lost contact with your best friend after a silly little arguement. Make sure you don't have any regrets about today. Always apolgise if you're wrong, always say I love you if it's how you feel, never miss an opportunity.
