summer crush

Our lives were interlaced for one summer. A summer of new beginnings for me, and a summer of goodbyes for you.

I know I had no chance with you, and you probably never think about me, but I feel that we had a connection. Everytime I glanced at you, you blue eyes were shimmering, as the ocean does on a clear day. I could tell that under that blue, electric gaze, there was something there. Some hidden feeling, or passion, maybe not for me, but for life. You were a quirky boy, and still are, and I loved getting lost in your quirky ways this summer.

I guess over analyzing things isn't always so bad? It's always good to dream.

Roald Dahl

“And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it.” – Roald Dahl.


I completely agree with Roald Dahl on this one. Beauty is so deceiving in our world. Our society views things that are not beautiful as not worth it. But if we all took a step back and actually looked, really looked, we could find beauty, and magic, in the most "unattractive" people and places.

 Taking a step out of your own little world, expectations, and standards, can bring a boat load of opportunities and experiences. You just have to take the chance and dare to find the hidden beauty, and magic. You WILL be surprised at what RADIANT things have been hiding there all along...

Dream Place Number 4

I haven't added any new places to my dream travel list lately, so I've decided that I have to update the list today. This 4th place I want to visit is a place filled with, well, A LOT of love. It's a city teeming with glamour, food, culture, and history. My 4th dream place, is the one and only,Rome!
Ah! A Roma, c'รจ tanto buon cibo!

Dream Place #4: Roma, Italia


"But you don't know pleasure. You have to be told you've earned it.
You see a commercial that says: 'It's Miller Time!' And you say,
That's right, now I'm going to buy a six pack. And then drink the
whole thing and wake up the next morning and you feel terrible.
But an ITALIAN doesn't need to be told. He walks by a sign that says:
You deserve a break today. And he says, Yes, I know.
That's why I'm planning on taking a break at noon to go
 over to your house and sleep...with your wife!"-Luca Spaghetti(Eat Pray Love)

Love in 137 words

The moon shined down on the pathway leading up to Kate’s garden. Leaves fluttered in the trees and the wind sighed. Everything was still in the heat of the summer night. Nobody dared make a noise, and disrupt the peaceful reverie of the stillness that had come over the world.
 Well nobody except for the couple sitting on the front porch of an old Victorian house. They softly whispered in the humid air, talking to each other as old friends, and new lovers.
 Slowly they talked about their deepest fears. They talked about the sky and the stars and how small they really were in the vast world. Kate leaned against Andrew’s sturdy frame, her eyes glistening with wonder. She silently exclaimed to herself, “What feeling on earth can bring more joy than the feeling of love?”
