im moving

blog houses. time for a change. :) the change may be abit slow/dragged out, but bear with me. x

http://oh-heart.blogspot.com/

over and over

i'd like to retreat here for a week or two,

you make me feel this small when you back me out of so many conversations. rejection complex, hello.

chin up.

i think i am defined more then anything by my friends. that is so scary.

"to love at all is to be vulnerable. love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. if you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no-one, not even to an animal. wrap it careful around hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of selfishness. bus in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless- it will change. it will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable... the only place outside of heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers of love is hell." C.S Lewis.

i don't think i've posted this before. but i could be wrong, i do love this quote. it sums me up pretty well. i'm the wear-my-heart-on-my-sleeve kinda person, not in a romantic relationship kinda way but just, i will love you. through it all.

basically

i just wish i could whistle.

hold on my heart

i know my heart your strong,
got a feeling that you'll survive,
these lost and lonesome times.

hold on my heart, hold on my heart,
find your stronger part and hold on my heart.

thinking of him each day, when he is miles away,
you know it wont serve you well,
it's better for time to tell.

now you're growin, up wiser,
oh, your not so easily crushed,
still innocent and strange,
all your strength still remains.

oh heart heart heart

"Her heart fed his vanity, so he kept it in his pocket and painted the masks he wore with the dreams he found in her unconditional affection. He put her down softly. So softly that his dark words sounded like love songs. He held no mirrors in his soul and looked at himself reflected in her eyes, because in them he found his flaws erased. She loved him and he loved that she loved him, so he broke her heart slowly. He furnished the spaces inside her with quiet confusion and self doubt until his invisible flaws became her own. He remained perfect in her eyes"



words by Paper Face

enjoyable things right now: multiple beverages at cafes, for example a coffee and a dc. sending away bags and bags of clothes to opshops. putting on shorts and tshirt in the morning, walking outside, realising its freezing, go back inside and get changed into something more appropriate. team tonga. going to the mount. wooden pegs. organising baby showers, weddings and balls. buying dresses for said events (actually this is not enjoyable, can't find a single thing i'd like). filming youth videos in elevators. where the light is dvd. new notebooks. new magazines. old friends. weheartit.com. writing notes.

When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll outta bed and down on your knees
And for a moment you can hardly breathe
Wondering was she really here?
Is she standing in my room?
No she's not, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....



When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
She takes you in with her crying eyes
Then all at once you have to say goodbye
Wondering could you stay my love?
Will you wake up by my side?
No she can't, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....



Now do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hands
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Do i have to fall asleep with roses in my , roses in my hands?

Would you get them if i did?
No you won't, 'cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone....



When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part

heavy and light

my heart is heavy and light, so many amazing things in my life, but also things going on around me that break my heart.


coldplay are so good..

What if I got it wrong?
And no poem or song..
Could put right what I got wrong,
Or make you feel I belong
What if you should decide
That you don't want me there by your side
That you don't want me there in your life.

Oooooh, that's right
Let's take a breath, jump over the side.
Oooooh, that's right
How can you know it if you don't even try?
Oooooh, that's right


oh my friends do bless me so much. they do.
