Apt

Press my nose up to the glass around your heart. I shoulda known I was weaker from the start. You build your walls, and I will play my bloody part to tear, tear them down. Well I'm gonna tear, tear them down!"

Babel by Mumford & Sons

Shell

You're sitting in a restaurant looking around the room, wishing you had what is on everyone else's plate.

My darling.

Look down.

You've got a lobster dinner.

Lily

He treats you like such shit. He's got you wrapped around his finger and he knows it. Why does your backbone disappear when he's around? Why do you give him near explicit permission to treat you like dirt? Why do you push away those who treat you like you deserve to be treated to be with him?

Why do you push me away?

Wish Upon

You want only him but I am only me. I wish I was good enough for you.

Perspective

It's all about perspective, isn't it? Sometimes life isn't necessarily teaching us something, but giving us a new way to look at what we already know. As we approach the end of the first year, I can't help but reflect back on what perspective I've gained on my life. Perspective gives way to knowledge and knowledge spawns realizations.

We've been through lots in a year, you and I. We both learned, we laughed, we cried, we rode a roller coaster of emotion and splashed our friends with the aftermath. But if I could change it for anything, I wouldn't. Maybe parts here and there, but not the core. Not the essentials. Not you.

Our year is almost ending but that only means a new one is beginning. Here's to you. Thank you.

Consistent

Good morning, sunshine.

I love you.

Broken

I am.
