after Michael Lynche finishes singing [a very slow and sleepy rendition of] "I'm Ready for Love"....
dad: I'm ready for bed after that.

tears in her eyes.
today i showed my grandma the mandolin we had restored that was my grandpa’s who passed away a few years ago. she sat there and she held it and she stared at it.
and i saw tears in her eyes.
that right there made me want to master the mandolin.
we estimate it was made in the 1930s, so for 80 years this beautiful instrument has been in our family. my grandpa angelo was an amazing...
&the school year begins...!
we were freshmen just yesterday…lugging books for the next 4 periods, doing our hair nice and dressing cute every day, eating in the over-crowded lunch room, saying you’ll get involved in every club cuz it’ll look good on college resumes, and then not.
man, freshman year is so vivid in my mind…i can remember every class, my first impression of every person…and how...
i-am-the-second-man asked: u love blogging. dont you? :]

today in the shower “By Your Side” by Tenth Avenue North came on my ipod.
i’ve heard that song a hundred times, but it never hit me like it did today.

what if there's a greater purpose outside my own...

– sometimes i don’t understand how you could ever love me…
but still you do. <3
today i wondered
what i would be like if i always had straight hair.
i have curly, wavy, messy, naturally unstraight hair,
& sometimes i feel like that embodies my identity.
on [special] occasion i straighten it, & on that occasion,
i feel like a different person.
a more clean, modern, chic version of myself.
so if i always had straight hair, would i be the same person?
the same person i am with...
dear rabies,
i just wanted to thank you, yet again, for stopping by our camp last week.
you have truly out-done yourself.
you have blessed me with 8 shots, a $10,000 bill [healthcare—thank you for existing], sickness courtesy your weekly vaccinations, and an arm incapable of driving it’s so sore from your shots. don’t get me wrong, i’m glad there are ways to make you...
tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?
here goes nothing.
i don’t think many people are going to read this.
i’m okay with that.
i’m doing this at the push of my best friend;
to share my little thoughts about flowers and TV shows and leftovers
and butterflies and new pencils and radio stations.
but also my heavy thoughts about things
i usually only write in my journal.
this in itself is going to be a journey,
a new...
