If people were rain, I was drizzle and she was a hurricane.
This is incredibly different from the stuff I usually upload, but today the only inspiration I had was this amazing quote, so that's what I got today.
Only ten more days...gosh.
Those on the left are the books I bought in the month of January (though the first Percy Jackson book is being loaned to a friend, but still should be in this stack). The two books on the right are the beginning of the February books.
This is how I spend my money.
Five more years, you'll be able to find me living in a refrigerator box in an alley.
Turning heads, its not everyday Europe comes to Dublin.
Stena Europe comes to Dublin Ireland.
Covering for other Stena ships on overhauls, seen on the Holyhead-Dublin run in early 2021.
Stena Europe is expected to leave the fleet in 2023 after many years of faithful service, loved by crews & passengers.
My best friend and I are sorta fighting, and it isn't fun at all.
I just wish we could skip to the part where we are all friends again and everything is ok.
In other non personal news, Aspen, Raven and I took some AMAZING photos on sunday for week 8. I'll upload them at some point.
I still think that, sometimes, maybe the "afterlife" is just something we made up to ease the pain of loss, to make our time in the labyrinth bearable.
inspirations:
completely on natalie
and of course, looking for alaska (by john green). (page 19&220)
and Símon Bolívar last words.
yes, i am profoundly obsessed with this book. pardon my letter lol.
Alright. So confession. When someone first told me:
"If you loved the Perks of Being a Wallflower, you should read Looking For Alaska!"
This is what I thought "Pffftuhh. No book can be compared to the Perks. I'm not even going to try."
BUT OH MY GOD. I finally bought it.
Started reading it.
Five hours later, without moving positions on my bed, I finished it.
That book is so amazing.
I cannot get over it still.
I'm reading it again.
And I just read it cover to cover yesterday.
NERDFIGHTER ;D
Oh and instead of "In all this chaos we found safety" tattooed under my boob.
I want that quote ^^^^^^^^^^^^ :D
"Thomas Edison's last words were: "It's very beautiful over there." I don't know where there is, but I believe it's somewhere, and I hope it's beautiful."

This is a book written by John Green. It is such a great read. It brings an unexpected plot. The characters were vivid and extraordinary.

I've been a little obsessed with photographing smoke lately. Don't worry, I wasn't actually smoking or anything. :)

"And what is this "instant" death anyway? How long is an instant? Is it one second? Ten? The pain of those seconds must have been awful as her heart burst and her lungs collapsed and there was no air and no blood to her brain and only raw panic. What the hell is instant? Nothing is instant. Instant rice takes five minutes, instant pudding takes an hour. I doubt that an instant of blinding pain feels particularly instantaneous." - Looking for Alaska by John Green
John Green is a genius. I loved Looking for Alaska and this is a few drawings to compliment the story. I can’t draw features, so I left them out.
I did 3 but the one of Miles is my favorite.
“Sometimes I don’t get you,” I said.
She didn’t even glance at me. She just smiled towards the television and said, “You never get me. That’s the whole point.”
this is mariah.
Thank you so much to LeanneMichelle_photography for the testimonial! :)

ive been on a reading kick this week and i read Looking for Alaska. if you havent read this book you should. it was amazing. nuff said.
vulnerability sometimes feels like a mistake.
I'm not going to be one of those people who sits around talking about what they're gonna do. I'm just going to do it. Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. You spend your whole life stuck in the labyrinth, thinking about how you'll escape it one day, and how awesome it will be, and imagining that the future keeps you going, but you never do it. You just use the future to escape the present.
the natural lighting in this one makes me happy.
