Do you ever stand still? Really still, in both mind and body? Lay down your book, pen, computermouse, or whatever you were doing and just.. focus. Listen to the sounds around you: ticking clocks, singing birds, the wind blowing against the trees, raindrops crashing against the window, children's laughter. Or maybe there are no sounds, except for ( Read more... )

My world? It consists of Yann Tiersen music. Foreign movies at independent theatres. Not being able to sleep at night because a part of me is still afraid. Choosing livejournal over a reallife party, because parties are overrated anyway. Knowing that I have three really good friends, and one of them is my mother. Playing hide-and-seek at night in ( Read more... )

Indoctrinated with violence and intimidation ( Read more... )

I remember this magnificent garden, with a pool of ice.
Giant swings that we lay in. Not taking part in anything.
I remember swimming pools, going down the slide.
Holding on to each other. Forget about everything, just close your eyes.

Love songs, singing and skipping; don’t let them see we’re tangled.

Lying down on the bed. So tired of the world ( Read more... )

See, hear, speak no evil

I dream of green grass

And clear blue skies

I dream of freedom

No callous lies

This is where I was born

This is where I will die

This cage is my home

This is my life

I haven’t slept

For many weeks

For the cries around me

Won’t leave me in peace

You know the truth

You’ve seen my tears

You’ve chosen not to care

So shut your eyes

Shut your ( Read more... )

Oh how I hate it when people base their opinons/judgements and behaviour on

-       What’s in fashion

-       What other people tell them is “right”

-       What somebody wrote down 2000 years ago, when people didn’t know half as much about the world as we do now.

Do women really have to shave their legs, because men don’t find them attractive ( Read more... )

Oh, look at us now. Standing like two rocks in the sea. 
But we weren’t always so stubborn. We used to stand close, once. 
Closer than I’ve been to anyone else. We used to lean on each other. 
And together we faced the years. Together we were strong.

So tell me how we’ve come to this. 
How in the hell did we move so far away from each other. 
In what ( Read more... )

Mr Ferriswheel stole my heart with his beautiful words. Now it’s lost in the maze of tunes. It took a moment to realize I was walking around with an empty chest. Baby, bring it back. Baby, come back. All the sunshine has disappeared from my window since you went away. My world has turned into a black and white film. And I am so tired, I just want ( Read more... )

I’ll hold on to these memories, as long as time permits. 
I’ll wear this wristband 'til it breaks. 
These were the most amazing days, you made it all possible. 
I know that life goes on, but I’m not ready to let go yet...

I remember eating ice cream in a sunny Portugal. I remember writing songs by the pool. I remember having fun. And I don't know what happened, but it hasn't been the same. We're not talking as much as we used to. I don't feel like calling you. It seems to me that you've changed. But you say I have changed. Are we really that different? Are we too ( Read more... )
