for the past two weekends, i've been with claire :) it makes me so happy - staying up late & sleeping in, guitar & piano, sharing smoothies and buying (sometimes matching) clothes or dresses, concerts or shows, and just being us. i love her. something else that made me happy was a package i got in the mail yesterday: my new favorite t-shirt (iron & wine!), the brand new rosie thomas cd if songs could be held, a free super nice subpop cd (because i e-mailed the girl who works there and she likes me), and another free rosie thomas cd that is so adorable. it's got 2 unreleased tracks & is handmade by her with cute angels, hearts, and music notes & a list of her 20 favorite songs scribbled on it.
my mind has been chaos lately. within a week, i've gone from suicide to moving to sweden. which i still haven't really thought about at all, but in a day, i'll be there. what do we leave behind when we cross each frontier? each moment seems split in two; melancholy for what was left behind and the excitement of entering a new land. please pray for me, because i'm not sure at all which trains and buses to take to get to the school & i don't know a word of swedish. i'm very scared of traveling alone.
when we've been here ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun.
we've no less days to sing God's praise
then when we've first begun.
i miss my grandma so very much. thank you to the person who let me talk about her for the first time since she died - that made me happier than you know. you've been the best friend i could ask for right now. and to all my friends: i'll miss you <3
p.s.
this song helps reveal what my heart really feels. plus, it's just so pretty.
bye :(
