What is my life right now? I'm listening to a bittersweet Ritchie Valens song and wondering why things have to change. There's a lot of change in my life right now. You wonder why I have a hard time switching blogs? Psshh, it's not because it would be difficult. I have a beautiful blog up and ready to go but I'm so dang sentimental and loyal to this shabbier, old blog, and there's my basic thought process about life, guys.

When I like something a lot, I stick with it; when I love it, I never really let it go.  I'll probably be 85, still telling lectures as to why Jane Eyre is my favorite novel and strawberry shortcake is the best Sno-Cone flavor in the universe. I'll remember in detail the first time my heart was broken at 13 and how I waltzed to My Heart Will Go On and felt infinite. I may just hold onto the secret as to why the movie Penelope makes me both laugh and cry. I move on, but I don't let go. So, as life rows forward, I am invisibly connected to all of these people, and places and moments etched into my mind. It's beautiful and heartbreaking. All I can come to though is life must be pretty incredible and will continue to be even more so, with each second that I'm given.

I Guess We Can Blame it on the Rain

I love the song, Blame it on the Rain. It reminds me of late night talks and strawberry chocolate, and naive reveries floating somewhere back in 2012. As Sinatra would say, it was a very good year. Today has felt like that, for some reason. I'm listening to He is We and Chase Coy and wanting very terribly to take pictures of the golden hour.

I've grown since then, but had I known back then all that would happen to bring that about, well, it would have shook me up. The past few years have definitely had their ups and down. There's been excitement, pain, love, laughs, and so many goodbyes. But that year was something special, because it's still affecting me to this day, so how can I not be a little bit in love with it?
