Week Thoughts

When I awake and the world is frozen and silent, and my breath comes in clouds, I watch the sun rise like a wildfire and I know that somewhere, somehow, something really special is happening.

She's a dream character, that's what she is. I know because these days I only see her when I fall asleep, and I wake up with tears in my eyes and the perfect song in my head and this throbbing in my heart.

I think we should make more times for naps such as these, because it is so easy to feel at peace when your body is surrounded by such an important person and you can feel them breathing and assure yourself they're very much alive and existing.

Playing piano is sort of like transferring the music of my soul out into sounds. And usually I'm not quite sure what my soul sounds like, because it's changing a lot and, well, I'm still learning about it, so sometimes I find other people's music that seems to fit pretty well, and play it to be at peace with the world.

Why is winter so dark all the time, someone asked me once. I don't remember my answer, but if I had been thinking straight that day, it would probably be: to remind you how wonderful the light is.

Sometimes I ask myself why I spend so much time writing, and I think it's probably because things don't make sense in my head until I put them somewhere.

I think I always sort of assumed I was shy and would never get any braver, but then I kissed his cheek and remembered what a big deal that was four years ago, and suddenly I realized just exactly how far I've come.

I've noticed that most songs these days are love songs, and that seems reasonable to me because I don't think there could possibly be anything as big and monumental and incredible as love in the whole entire universe, and sometimes, if I'm lucky, I can see a tiny bit of it in your eyes.

I've decided the most important things in the world these days are relationships, love, music and inner peace.
...Knowing me, that'll have changed by tomorrow.

I've noticed I keep saying 'I' a lot. One might think that makes me selfish, but I say, who do I know better or spend more time with than myself?
