A lie...

A lie has no leg, but a scandal has wings.

whatever comes...

Whatever comes, let it come. What stays, let it stay. What goes, let it go.

I...

I don’t want to be 

your entire world, no. 
I would be happy 

just to be your morning coffee, 

your hanging car keys, 
your wallet. 

Something seemingly 

insignificant, 

but if lost throws off 

your entire day.

Lucy Quin

nobody...

Nobody can save you but yourself - and you’re worth saving.

It’s a war not easily won, but if anything is worth winning - this is it.

crush...

You are in a car with a beautiful boy, and he won’t tell you that he loves you, but he loves you.

And you feel like you’ve done something terrible, like robbed a liquor store, or swallowed pills,

or shovelled yourself a grave in the dirt, and you’re tired.

You’re in a car with a beautiful boy, and you’re trying not to tell him that you love him,

and you’re trying to choke down the feeling, and you’re trembling, but he reaches over and he touches you,

like a prayer for which no words exist, and you feel your heart taking root in your body,

like you’ve discovered something you don’t even have a name for.

love...

Love lasts about seven years.

That’s how long it takes for the cells of the body to totally replace themselves.

i feel frozen...

I feel frozen, standing, waiting for the lights to change. I hear nothing.

I feel irrelevant. I feel dreamy. It is almost dream like, self created silence.

SuTurno...

Wall Street Crash of 1929 provoked a spectacular growth of lipstick sales
as a quick remedy to cheer up those hard times. 

I love this new collection of scarves by SuTurno finds inspiration in those years, the 30′s glamour.

stop...

Stop telling me to follow my heart. It once led me to you.”
