fill your journal.

Did you know I constantly have a journal with me? If I don't have a little notebook with me, I'm lost. I take notes or jot down random thoughts on everything from rearranging my tiny apartment to creative projects and the state of society. I keep track of quotes I find in books, songs, movies, and articles. Some days I write all day and sometimes I don't write for a week, but when these notebooks are full, they all end up on a bookshelf in my room waiting for any given day when I'm in the mood to pull one out and flip through it. I usually love what I find. Forgotten verses, wonderful memories, rants about things I no longer care about -or worse- still haven't figured out, and miscellaneous lists which have become useless.

I don't really know if I'm going to keep them all, but for now, they sit there on the shelf. They're like a handwritten photo album that only I am allowed to look through. Their fate is undecided, but rarely looks grim.

You can make anything by writing. -C.S. Lewis

the mad ones

I woke up this morning reciting this quote in my head with my eyes closed, then turned and read it on my wall until I couldn't lay in bed any longer. I keep it on the wall as a reminder - or perhaps a challenge to myself:
Don't forget- you're one of them, and don't lose the good ones, or you'll fade just like your memories of them. And when you can't find any good ones, get up and look. And don't stop til you're there. Burn, burn, burn, and never ever quit.

freefall

Hello blog world, I've missed you. My computer crashed and I'm still in the process of reviving it. It's never as simple as it seems. Please bear with me while I figure it all out. I'll still update here, it's just not as fun without Flash Player and peace of mind..

Some parts of my life have also crashed and I'm in the process of being revived myself. It's time to let go of a part of my life I've loved and cared for with true hope and determination. I'm trying to remember this is the way things happen and I'm ready for new adventures. I can feel that something big is coming, and the possibilities are endless. I find that pretty intriguing. It's going to be work, but it's going to be good. Really, really good.

I'm gonna free fall, out into nothin..

 

love, nicole
