"As we get better, we find better people."

"When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too."

Ugh, Natasha Bedingfield, your lyrics are killing meeee

Never believed that things happen for a reason
But how this turned out, removed all my doubts,

So believe, that for you I'd do it all over again
Do it all over again
All I went through, led me to you
So do it all over again, for you

Oh, who ever thought a day gone so wrong
Would turn out so lovely?
I'm so glad I found you
Even though the day went so wrong
I wouldn't change a thing.

Coldplay - Fix You

Classic Coldplay

Dear NYC,

When I was younger, I was able to go to Central Park every single day. It was simple. There was a carousel and fields that seemed to extend past the imaginable. The enormity of the park was incomprehensible for me. It was easy to live. The Strand Bookstore was thunderous in my mind. Every slam of a book and every piece of dust that fluttered down was explosive. My block was the most familiar and thus: the best. I watched as Madison Square Park changed every season and every holiday. And yet, I was still so amazed.

And slowly, my secret corner of a boat on the Hudson River was invaded by others who had been there before but had also been unnoticeable. The used-to-be massiveness of the East River had faded into just a pool of water. The millions of novels that crowded my home became long untouched. The Virgin Records disappeared into a mere vacant room. Columbus Circle became less of a circle and more of a line of business.

I guess that when you are in one place and one sole place for so many years, you begin to stop seeing what is so enlightening about it in the first place. I started taking something for granted, and started picturing that thing as something that merely kept me sane because of its familiarity. So if I were to choose...Yes, NYC, I need to leave you for a little bit and maybe in a few years when I am old enough to start missing the insanity of you, I will come back.

Elton John - Your song

Learning this song on the piano right now. It's a tough one to figure out but regardless, it's probably one of my all time favorites. Elton John will never fade out.

Alejandrito Corazon

So, for this summer, I barely have anything to do seeing as some things didn't work out. Anyways, I'm going to Colombia for an entire month and so I need to find stuff to do. I was looking at community service foundations and I found this really beautiful foundation that is in charge of making poorly socioeconomic oriented kids feel more safe and happy. It's named Alejandrito Corazon. It's actually amazing. Hopefully will be working there this summer.

E. E. Cummings

since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;
wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
--the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis

Because the Most Beautiful Things are Simple-Merely in Black and White. Colors are in-betweens and why would we ever want to be caught in between?

Today, one of my friends was telling me and two others about how he wants to get a motorcycle. At first, my reaction was to be so overprotective seeing as motorcycles are incredibly dangerous. But then, I started thinking about it and I realized that the reason why we feel so much fear is because there are always those who induce that fear. Not only that, but there are also always reasons as to why you shouldn't do things. How could your let your life life pass by you without doing every single thing that exhilarates you and shocks you with adrenaline? How could you take the chance to be safe with everything you do?
