Toy Soldiers

The singing children are rather haunting...

Elizabeth Gilbert

“A true soul mate is probably the most important person you’ll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake. But to live with a soul mate forever? Nah. Too painful. Soul mates, they come into your life just to reveal another layer of yourself to you, and then leave. A soul mate’s purpose is to shake you up, tear apart your ego a little bit, show you your obstacles and addictions, break your heart open so new light can get in, and make you so desperate and out of control that you have to transform your life.”
-Elizabeth Gilbert

Wild

Far Away


I will live my life
As a lobsterman's wife
On an island in the blue bay
He will take care of me,
He will smell like the sea,
And close to my heart he'll always stay

The Little Prince

" 'People have forgotten this truth,' said the fox. 'But you must not forget. You become responsible, for ever, for what you have tamed. You are responsible for your rose.'
'I am responsible for my rose…' the little prince repeated, so as to remember."

- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, The Little Prince

Boats

The silence tastes like winter and we wrap our jackets tighter around ourselves to keep warm, watching as the clouds cover the mountain. It's the most beautiful thing we've seen.

Dreams

Hold your dreams up against the sky, let them have a small taste of freedom before hugging them close one last time, whispering inspiring words and then flinging them to live amoung the stars.

Truly

“Was I ever truly over her? At one time I was sure that the answer was yes. But if seeing her again – and merely touching her hand – could peel back so many layers of my heart, then did I ever stop loving her the way you’re supposed to stop loving everyone but the one you’re with?”

Crazy for This Girl

And we all remember this song, even if it is from ten years ago. Still as catchy now as it was then.

In A Car

Now we can bust out of this town and go until we hit the ends of the earth and then some, just because we can. Today, we are kings.

Coins

“When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you, but because in that brief moment when the coin is in the air,
you suddenly know what you are hoping for.”
-via Goodmorning & Goodnight

Vegetable Orchestra

How in the world do people come up with these things? Brilliant, though.

Charleston

The Charleston put to Daft Punk. Now this is brilliance.

Victor Hugo

"How did it happen that their lips came together? How does it happen that birds sing, that the snow melts, that the rose unfolds, that the dawn whitens behind the stark shapes of trees on the quivering summit of the hill? A kiss, and all was said."
-Victor Hugo

Close

I wonder, sometimes, if you ever know when I'm lying. Am I that good at weaving words that you just accept whatever I create, or are you too afraid to find what's underneath?
Besides, in the end we'll all fall.

In My Head


Under the weight of your wings
You are a god and whatever I want you to be
And I wonder if truly you are
Nearly as beautiful as I believe

Peter Pan

“So come with me, where dreams are born, and time is never planned. Just think of happy things, and your heart will fly on wings, forever.”
-Peter Pan
