I snagged a million memes from dyingtosay but then I deleted them because who cares anyway.

I've been feeling very philosophical today. I think it was after I read a post schnee linked in his journal. It made me think. Not about death, as such, but just life in general and what I have accomplished in my time thus far. I came to the conclusion that I'm pretty content. I may not have the perfect body, I may not always have the greatest temper, sometimes I'm a bit too egoistical, sometimes I hold grudges for too long and I'm not good enough at loving myself, but. But. I'm generous, I care to the deepest depths of my heart for those that are important, I'm generally nice to everyone, and I think most importantly of all, I'm myself.
I don't compromise the important things.

• being shitfaced with my friends


• when my boyfriend smiles


• the smell of Autumn


• songs like Rebellion (Lies) by Arcade Fire that remind me of the first time I went to Hove. It's a special kind of heartache


• TV shows like Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Call it media pornography if you will, it makes me happy to see those families cry


• Givesmehope


• songs like Ocean Avenue by Yellowcard that remind me of all the fun I had with my friends when I was younger


• reading books


• being out in the middle of warm summer nights


• this youtube-clip


• dancing in mirrored dancing studios


• finding out that someone likes a thing that you like


• waking up early in weekends, realizing that I can sleep a bit more and pulling my comforter over my eyes to shut out the sunlight


• feeling the wind in deserted places


• the smell of ocean


• stargazing


• geekspasming over things like taking the train through Dawlish


• English


• hugs


• discovering music that I have on my iPod but that I've never listened properly to

• songs like Everything's Magic by Angels & Airwaves, because everything is magic sometimes and it never fails to cheer me up


• realizing that I write too much about music and not really caring because that is one of the important things I'm not willing to compromise
