?

I can't put words to the feelings inside.
I stare into space,
and feel lost, empty and confused.

I want to run away and hide.

Fact

Few things are as wonderful as spending days with friends,
and you don't even have to try to be polite and talkative.
It's just there, as it always has.
And it's beautiful.

Truth


Liz Prince is this awesome writer that makes comics that are just perfect. Check them out on her website!

Double life

I sit at the table and look at the people around me,
discussing the events of the day.
Mum just came home from work.
Dad is on his way to the golf course.
I had a relaxing day with a good friend.
I mention the fact I have to choose classes for next year,
I get puzzled expressions.

It is as if my life here and now is the reality.
The years spent in that other country was just a dream.
The days of laughter in the grass outside a campus building.
The long hours in the library.
The dinners at friends' houses.
Is it really the same girl that goes through that that is sitting here?

I look out my window.
And think of my double life.
The relaxed, chilled, typical Swede.
And the stressed university student who spends most of her hours in a corner of the library.

Most people lead double lifes.
One at home where they've grown up,
and one in the place they decide to make their home.
When those two places are seperated by a sea,
and when the people in one place have little knowledge of the people in the second place.
Then your life truly becomes double,
and I can't help but feel on the outside.

I love both places.
But will I ever find a place where I don't feel like a part of me is missing?

New love

The stars at night burn so bright
But where do I fit in?
Am I too small to matter at all?
Oh, where do I fit in?

Am I a dot on the map of the world?
Just a spot on the map of the world?
When I imagine the whole universe
Oh, where do I fit in?

The wind comes through, singing the blues
But where do I fit in?
The autumn trees dance with the breeze
But where do I fit in?

Am I a dot on the map of the world?
Just a spot on the map of the world?
When I imagine the whole universe
Oh, where do I fit in?

Wish I may, wish I might
Find some answers here tonight
Tell me, is there something out there?
Is there more than I can see?
I don't know what I believe
Tell me, is there something out there?
Anything out there?

Am I a dot on the map of the world?
Just a spot on the map of the world?
When I imagine the whole universe
Oh, where do I fit in?



Of course I've heard their songs before. But lately I've listened through their whole records and not just their hits. I can only say one word: love. Plain White T's. Yes.

Time to go

The bed was covered with different piles.
Jeans.
Cardigans.
Tops.
Scarves.
Shoes.
Skirts.
Books.
Passport.
Tickets.

Hours to go.
Hours of anticipation.
Of waiting.
Of looking at the watch every other minute.


Yes,
home is calling.

More music, just because

It started out as a feeling
Which then grew into a hope
Which then turned into a quiet thought
Which then turned into a quiet word

And then that word grew louder and louder
'Til it was a battle cry

I'll come back
When you call me
No need to say goodbye

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

All you can do is try to know
Who your friends are
As you head off to the war

Pick a star on the dark horizon
And follow the light

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget

Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye



It just popped into my head. And I had to share. Regina Spektor. Narnia. Love.
