what is now here was then there
The feeling of real is coming back. Old friend but maybe not missed. Forgotten.
I have escaped the haze I’ve been in for almost the whole week. Has it really been so long? And yet, so short? I had forgotten that my life here isn’t anything remotely perfect, is so messy, maybe messed up. I had forgotten that my family is a mess, even if a beautiful one-it is one. I had forgotten that I...
Apple Pie
Today I made a delicous apple pie with my friend.
It took us about half an hour to weave the dough the right way.
We sat in front of the oven while it baked.
It was perfect.
What a great way to spend your afternoon, hm?

For K
I always meant to tell you something.
I think of you sometimes when I can’t sleep
(Please don’t think I’m creepy)
About how you did the American Accent Quiz on me
And you asked Zebra or Zeebra
Pop Quiz or Test
And I kept laughing
And I wish we’d had more time
I wish we all had had more time
Time, time
And then my eyes stare at the dark dark ceiling and I think

How it feels to be Home
Not real.
I am still in a weird fog, but taking everything in slowly. Oh how wonderful it was to see my parents at the airport, waving and laughing and finally being there.
I had imagined sitting on the plane so often it felt surreal to actually be there. I kept welling up, to be honest. How many times had I looked at the clock, begging it to go faster. I kept the calculator with myself to count...
I am Home →
Turns out there is no Starbucks here.
But.
WiFi. I am blogging from the Charles de Gaulle airport watching a beautiful plane take off. I am so excited right now.
Moving and a new room
I am probably moving to a different part of my beloved part of my awesome city soon! My room is going to be in the attic and I want to make it something new with all the stuff already in my posession, but some new details. Right now, my room is small and the next one will be too, but I am sort of liking that. I love being cozy and warm but at the same time having a light, airy space.
So, out of...

Something absurd.
I have been doing something inexplicably absurd. I’m planning every single minute of my voyage back.
I planned that the first half hour on the train I will read. Then I will watch the movie I bought, crappy and weird, probably. The I will read again and maybe eat something. You see, I’m taking a three and a half hour train ride to the airport where I will take the plane back home. I...
Yesterday
Yesterday
it was raining
and we were supposed to ride out
so then we did
with seventeen horses
and three children who were crying
nobody could even ride a horse
and I was getting very grumpy
and did I mention it was raining?
well, it was
and I couldn’t feel my toes anymore
let alone my fingertips
so I was in a bad mood
but then, the sun broke out
dipping all of those seventeen...
“There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own...”
– Sarah Dessen, Just Listen (via notasongbird
)
I found five Sarah-Dessen-Books for a dollar each in the best condition in my favorite Chicago bookstore this summer. I was sucked in. I spent my days in the garden, eyes glued to pages, lemonade on one side of my arm, a bucket of cherries on the...

Book Club: The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall
The first time I touched The Penderwicks was in a book store about to close. They had already closed the cash registers and I had begged my dad to just take one look inside. It fell in my hands and I opened it. I started reading a little and suddenly, fifteen minutes and ten pages had passed. My father had wandered off into another section and the cashier was quietly trying to ask me to leave.
I...

dear people, this blog is going to get a facelift...
I am going Home in five days.
It hit me just now, listening to Boy’s “July”.
Take off your shoes now, you’ve come a long way, she sings, and I thought, what if I can take my shoes off again? The heavy, klutzy shoes that have been pulling me to the ground and not letting me see the sky. This is so hard for me to type. But the truth is, I want to be my light, happy self...
jepeuxavoir asked: What are some of your favorite books? You seem to hold such a great literary quality around you, and I am more than a little curious.
There are so many words in my fingertips
But for now, this will have to do.
Just know that time is relative. Six weeks have been so long and too short.
Also, keep in mind, I love you, I love you the way you love only someone who is Home. You gave me so much when I needed it.
I’ll never forget the details, the feel of soft rain on my sweatshirt, the Tiaras and the way your voice sounds in my ear.
The world is so big but so...
give us a rant s'il te plaît
Here goes.
A list of alsos.
I read a comment today on my beloved facebook. It said I feel so strongly. Never before had I heards someone say that and suddenly I realised it’s true. I feel so strongly and sometimes I hurt because of it and sometimes I shine.
Also, my guest mom is getting on the trip of not liking me, or so it seems. Lots of awkwardness I am not used to, but there is only...
When I Have A Boat
When I have a boat, it will be yellow.
I will name it Rosie and it will float and hold as many people as it can.
It’s color will fade but I’ll always remember how glowing it once was.
When I have a boat.

A Post About Redheads
I love them.
That is it, my friends, just know:
Redheads are angels in disguise.
Don’t you think?
simpletruth asked: I really love real blogs like this. I was just curious though, how did you choose who to follow? Or was it almost like a fate-like thing where you chose at random
sorry for that
I have to apologize for that huge, sappy and somewhat ridiculous post yesterday. I was in a weird mood. Don’t read it if you don’t want to :)
HAVE A LOVELY SUNDAY!
Equus, Equi
I believe there is a special thing between a horse and a human. I believe there is something going on that you can’t see or nail down. I believe in the warm breath and soft nostrils, I believe in the tears that can fall and the laughter you can share. I believe, I fully and wholly believe that this is something everyone could see if everyone wanted to.
I am a horse lover not in the girly...

We found a carousel
But it wasn’t running and
The Ginger was grumpy
But I really, really wanted to ride it
So I went over to the carousel ticket box
And I said “Deux tickets s’il vous plaît”
And I grinned and hopped but the Ginger still refused
(That made me a little sad)
And we waited for ten minutes but the carousel man...

Violence is real
I was standing at the bus stop when a man got out of the bus and started running toward me. He stopped in front of me and suddenly, very angrily pushed me. I fell on the ground, letting out a scream and banged my head on a wall. I hurt myself, not badly, but I did.
He leisurely walked away, not giving me a second look.
There was an old lady standing next to me who was the only person having seen...
When it Shines
I love sun. I love heat. I love warm toes. I love open shoes. I love ice cream. I love fresh grass. I love bare feet. I love light dresses. I love fizzy, cold drinks. I love reading a book on the swing. I love a baer horseback under my body. I love a new nail polish color every week. I love being warm. I love sleeping only in a shirt. I love lemonade from the freezer.
I love Summer.

A little Wishlist, if you may.
Beautiful.
Materialistic.
To capture. Something like this, less fancy, I think.
And finally, books. Blank and full and lots of them. Did you know I love to read?
Good night, Moon.
