resonate

are there ever any quotes that just really resonate with you?

Here's one that's been getting at me lately-

happy Parisian

This is my only self portrait from my Europe experience in 2008. Some of my happiest memories. Looking at this photo almost two years later, I hardly notice the disgusting blanket, my fuller cheeks, or my bad Italian haircut. What I see now is contentment.

Because I threw off the bowlines.

I long to feel that once again. The rush of stepping outside my comforts and fully embracing life. Which means I have some changes to make.

Glad we had this chat.

  5. Do you speak Italian? I am learning, and think it would be wonderful to have a friend who spoke it also.

    Thanks for the inspiration.

  6. i want to feel it again too...
    i feel like i'm standing riiiight there on the edge, just about to jump ship...
    but i'm over thinking things... ugh..

    p.s.
    you have pretty awesome handwriting - it should be a font.
    when i was in 8th grade i hoped that mine would improve as i got older -
    it didn't.
