Oh, darling!

I have a new journal.

"Make for yourself a world you can believe in. It sounds simple, I know. But it's not. Listen, there are really a million worlds you could make for yourself. Everyone you know has a completely different one - the woman in 5G, that cab driver over there, you. Sure, there are overlaps, but only in the details. Some people make their worlds what they think reality is like. They convince themselves that they had nothing to do with their worlds' creations and continuations. Some make their worlds without knowing it. Their universes are just sesame seeds and three-day weekends and dial tones and skinned knees and physics and driftwood and emerald earrings and books dropped into bathtubs and holes in guitars and plastic and empathy and hardwood and heavy water and high black stockings and the history of the Vikings and brass and obsolescence and burnt hair and collapsed souffles and the impossibility of not falling in love on an art museum with the person standing next to you looking at the same painting and all the other things that just happen and are. But you want to make for yourself a world that is deliberately and meticulously personalized. A theater for your life, if I could put it like that. Don't live n accident. Don't call a knife a knife. Life a life that has never been lived before, in which everything you experience is yours and only yours. Make accidents on purpose. Call a knife a name by which only you will recognize it. Now I'm not a very smart man, but I'm not a dumb one either. So listen: If you can manage what I've told you, as I was never able to, you will give your life meaning. " 

- Jonathan Safran Foer

We went to the Eastview mall today.
I got my senior dinner dance dress! I AM IN LOVE WITH IT. AH

Friend cut will now ensue!

 If you really love me, then let's make a vow. Repeat after me,
" I'm gonna free, and I'm gonna be brave. I'm gonna live each day as if it were my last. Fantastically. Courageously, with grace. And in the dark of the night ( and it gets dark ), when I call my name, it will be your name. Let's go everywhere, even if we're scared. Cause it's life and it's happening. It's really, really, happening, right now."

"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another, "What! You too? I thought I was the only one."
-C.S. Lewis
