i seriously needed to post this on my blog even though it is clearly on Lia's personal blog. Not only is her shirt awesome, she is also drinking Richmond's finest PBR beers. hilarious.

Smile

There's something about being a funny person and everyone assuming that you're ok when you aren't.

Smile though your heart is aching
Smile even though it's breaking.
When there are clouds in the sky
you'll get by.

If you smile through your pain and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
You'll see the sun shining through
For you.

Light up your face with gladness,
Hide every trace of sadness.
Although a tear may be ever so near
That's the time you must keep on trying
Smile, what's the use of crying.
You'll find that life is still worthwhile-
If you just smile.

lykke li. one of my favs.


grizzly bear! my goodness i love this band!


beautiful.

there is a calming breeze blowing through the upstairs windows. i can breath now. Last night i slept in a real bed all by myself. I haven't done that in almost five months. there's something brave about sleeping on your own. I can't say that I like it much. But the wind helps and makes me feel somewhat at peace. i love my city but i feel little there. here i feel fresh and new. having people who love you and surround you, remind you of how you use to be before you were old.
