“Last year I was a trainwreck, now I’m just a mess
I’m letting go so I don’t lose myself
I’m starting to be where I need to be
I’m starting to be where I need to be”Real Friends – Mess

Wednesday Words – Came Out Swinging
“Well, I spent this whole year in airports
And the floor feels like home
Oh, at least we’re never alone
I lost track of the time zones and I’d call but you know
I’m running on empty
The late nights and the long drives start to get to me
I’m just so tired”The Wonder Years – Came Out Swinging
Wednesday Words – The Lover’s Dictionary
“I have never lived anywhere but New York or New England, but there are times when I’m talking to you and I hit a Southern vowel, or a word gets caught in a Southern truncation, and I know it’s because I’m swimming in your cadences, that you permeate my very language.”
–The Lover’s Dictionary, David Levithan

Wednesday Words – City Girl
“I’ve always thought of myself as a city girl. I love the energy, the diversity, the noise. I love the variety of experiences, the speed and volume, the endless chatter and din of traffic, the endless options and adventures.
But as I learn to dwell in the silence of my own heart, I’m finding myself drawn to the silence of nature – of water, land, expanse. As I learn to trust the stillness I’ve been running from for so long, I’m finding that I crave more and more silence. I’m drawn back to the water, to the sound of the waves instead of the sounds of traffic and the blare of action and excitement.”
-Shauna Niequist, Present Over Perfect
Wednesday Words – Heroine
“Above all, be the heroine of your life, not the victim.”
-Nora Ephron
