my story (blog).

and for every useless reason I know

IMG_0840

I have set aside everything I love
I have saved everything else for you
I cannot decide what this doubt’s made of
Though I thought over it through and through

In a book in a box high upon a shelf
In a locked and guarded vault
Are the things I keep only for myself
It’s your fate but it’s not your fault

And for every useless reason I know
There’s a reason not to care
If I hide myself wherever I go
Am I ever really there?

There is nowhere else I would rather be,
but I can’t just be right here
An enigma wrapped in a mystery,
or a fool consumed by fear

I will give you all I could ever give
Though it’s less than you will need
Could you just forget, if you can’t forgive
All the things I cannot concede

for you, barenaked ladies

danielle's room

  “Life is like topography, Hobbes. There are summits of happiness and success, flat stretches of boring routine, and valleys of frustration and failure.” -Calvin (speaking to Hobbes) here is to a day filled with a smidge of valleys, a short bit of flat stretches and a super high in the clouds summit yes, please.
