When I wrote of disappearing, I meant what I said. But as I read that quote, I discovered I did/do truly want to be found. I want someone to acknowledge and be impacted by my light. I want someone to profess their love and daringly sit beside me through the unknown – whether it is a moment, a day, a year, or even an eternity, I want to feel that burst of exuberant joy in my chest. I want that for myself, to feel like my actions do not go unnoticed. I’ve spoken a lot about love through my posts – the love I have for myself, the food on my plate, the animals all around me. I’ve spoken of love never found, love lost, and hopeful love. I’m not afraid to want love. I’m not afraid of being found. I’m afraid of disappearing without being found, without being loved.

Never Too Late for Links || 1.25.15


 || Woah. ||

Where did the weekend go? I basically blinked on Friday, and here I am and it's Sunday. I'm realizing how far behind I could be, how I've neglected my readers, how I've fallen off my spontaneity wagon. Ugh. Pros for the week: balancing my schedule, working on being efficient, eating awesome meals in my room, finding time to exercise, catching up with friends. I'm trying to remind myself that I must be positive to succeed. Oh positivity. Where are you?

What did you do this weekend?


LINKS & FINDS ||

My bedtime routine.

Stunning New York City aerial shots by Vincent Laforet. 

If I were in a relationship I'd probably find these fascinating.

Could you go 40 days without being mean?

I love when I find these: vintage photos in color.

Makes me value my oral hygiene.

Minus the goat cheese + add gluten free tortillas = yumazing quesadillas.

Some cool new beauty trends for 2015.


Explore, love, hope, and be yourself. Always.

I wasn’t expecting to just disappear. I really wasn’t. I was thinking about the magnificence of falling back asleep, the delicious feeling of being lazy and hazy with no obligations or requirements — watching the day drift from morning light to afternoon shimmers to nighttime glow. It’s as if this stress that has been coursing through my veins hypercharged and accelerated my heart, my mind, and my soul until only an empty shadow remained, wondering the how, the why, and the what’s of it all. My ideas, so clear-cut a month ago, are foggy and undisciplined. ... [keep reading]
