Is it harder to love from far away
or to not have love at all?

Is it better to miss your touch, or your words?
Is it better to feel the sting of absence than to have never experienced the touch.

I am happy to have tasted the bliss, and have that to look forward to

There are lots of songs about lovers leaving, and they're not all about me
I am choosing to leave, yes
but I am not choosing to leave you

I wish this were me and not Marilyn Monroe

listening to: "Emmylou" by First Aid Kit

the poor pretty girls

they are doomed to a life that is not their fault
they are debilitated by your admiration
and they are doomed to a life of being pretty, but thats all

I would never want to be one of them
poor things

"Children are tropistic; they grow in the direction of light and attention.  That which is ignored in childhood does not develop.  If a child is valued for her accomplishments, she will learn to value what she does more than who she is.  and the voice will step in when she is fulfilling its accomplishments quota" - Women, Food and God
