C'est la vie.

If it’s not real, you can’t hold it in your hand, you can’t feel it with your heart, and I won’t believe it; But if it’s true, you can see it with your eyes or even in the dark; And that’s where I want to be.

Those above you, will one day be below you.
Those below you, will one day be above you.
That’s why you always treat everyone, as those beside you.

Hanging out with my lil bubbas, Arden & Riley.

My friends are lovely.

Ever since I came to America, I have been dying to see snow.

Hailing from a city like Kuala Lumpur, where the average temperature never goes below 30 degrees Celsius for the better part of the year, I was confident that my eternal dream of seeing a soft white quilt spread across the courtyard would finally come true here.

Today, however I have been lucky.

I saw snow. I felt snow. I walked in it. I trudged in it. I danced barefoot in it.

December

The white dove of winter
sheds its first
fine feathers;
they melt

as they touch
the warm ground
like notes
of a once familiar

music; the earth
shivers and
turns towards
the solstice.

— Linda Pastan, from “The Months” (via bookoasis)

Death Cab For Cutie – Passenger Seat

[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

alyssasayshello:

I roll the window down
and then begin to breathe in
the darkest country road,
and the strong scent of evergreen
from the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

Then looking upwards,
I strain my eyes and try
to tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
from the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

“Do they collide?”
I ask and you smile.
With my feet on the dash
the world doesn’t matter.

When you feel embarrassed then I’ll be your pride,
when you need directions then I’ll be the guide.
For all time.
For all time.

Played 40 times.
