I made a mistake and I never forgot
I tied knots in the laces of My worried shoes
And with every step that I'd take I'd remember my mistake
As I marched further and further away
And my shoes took me down a crooked path
Away from all welcome mats
My worried shoes
And then one day I looked around and I found the sun shining down
And I took off my worried shoes
And the feet broke free
I didn't need to wear
Then I knew the difference between worrying and caring
'Cause I've got a lot of walking to do
And I don't want to wear
My worried shoes

Stop telling me the right way to go I'm on my own You're selling our old ways Stop telling me the right way to go  You are free You are free Living things need to be free You are free Like everything wants to be

..unless there's something beating in my chest

it's like a cigarette in the mouth or a handshake in the doorway.. i look at you and smile because i know i'm fine.

do not take it for granted. ever.

Been bad at updating this lately. I've been silly lately. Ready to buckle down and get in and messy.

I haven't felt this good sitting at my computer in months.

sun, people, cafe, coffee, colors, mood, freedom, plans

we are not special.

we are not crap or trash, either.

we just are.

we just are, and what happens just happens.

_chuck palahniuk

you are, the only exception

I had a dream last night That we lost the fight I had a reason to stay in the back of my head Still, I have to say goodbye Here, in this bed  Free, You are free  You oughta lay down low Covered in packs of snow  Stop telling me the right way to go I'm on my own You're selling our old ways Stop telling me the right way to go  You are free You are free Living things need to be free You are free Like everything wants to be

It doesn't matter until now because now is when it really matters.
