beyoncé is a person

i really like.
equal parts strong and soft.
beautiful and inspiring.

a pang

People pass by slowly,

And then are invisible.

Even the most constant hum upon the ears--

Will, by its consistency, become dull.

Ah! But what of the pain that smoke creates?

Surely that!

Blackening up the lungs and smothering breath;

This vile thing is not forgotten?

Nay; but even this, floats away

Till merely tendrils~ in the tenderest trail.

O why this drift?

Why this ebb of memory?

"Lost but not forgotten" marble always reads;

Though writ in stone, it tells little truth.

Eternal Throne Above,

Oh Thee alone know these all, 

One by one, forgotten.

Bend Thine arm and save that which is Lost!

high hopes

if i could make ONE resolution for (what i have met of) the rest of the world it would be to read this: http://www.wikihow.com/Tell-if-You-Are-Self-Absorbed 

....i've already read it, so i should be good. ;)

joking, joking.

anyways, here are some of my tangible wishes for 2013

network with people. go to more fashion events and ask people how they got to where they are.

make my dream portfolio. (soooo much time)

while we're talking huge tasks... draft up my business plan and detailed design layout to present to a rich investor at a moments notice

make my business card.

have a window-sill herb garden at my new place.

go cross-country ski-ing in the next year! wouldn't that be fun!

have a glass of wine and write a book. write part of a chapter or so in the evenings. it's going to be a very realistic best seller that will make you laugh and cry, break your heart, and then heal it over again

exercise and run races again

definitely thinking zumba class! so much fun!

take a photography class or pottery or metal-smithing

start up my vlog

volunteer/work at a women's crisis center or homeless shelter. i've wanted to do this for so long. time's a waste'in!
