this is what yolo really means

i think we've all lost what it means to really live.

infinite

the other night i saw twelve shooting stars.

you know what that does to a person?

it humbles you beyond belief.

it reminds you just how artistic He is.

it triggers that part of the human soul,

the part that is inseparably connected with mother nature.

that part that becomes swollen with happiness when you finish a long hike.

it's like you have broken some planetary law and feel infinite.

i always remember this line of my favorite book:

"...where all you need is that perfect song on that perfect drive to make you feel infinite."

and it's true.

if you've been lucky enough to ride in the back of a truck on a summer night,

with the warm wind playing with you hair,

a song playing that has heartfelt sentiment

and not a care in the world in that moment,

then you know what it feels like to be infinite.

there aren't many things that can make you feel that way but this i know is true,

the simple, often overlooked things are the ones that can.

happy thursday! {ed. 12}

today i decided to change things up!
i'm taking a break of my weekly crushes and going to let you all in on a few things i'm loving.
no particular reason,
mainly because this week i have been too tired to creep on celebrities...
what a life i lead.
sigh!
enjoy some of the things that i am diggin' this week. :)

a canopy of colorful umbrellas in agueda, portugal. isn't this just enchanting?

throw pillows, lots of them. for my bed this coming semester i am going to get various jewel-toned throw pillows of different shapes to enhance the artsy/eclectic feel of my new room... in my new apartment! (socompletleyexcited)

ryan lochte is terrible at interviews.

this video made my day! in his defense, no one said you have to be good at speaking to be an olympic swimmer... p.s. love me some phelps.

nars multiple stick in g spot.

as of late i've hardly been wearing makeup. this and a thin coat of mascara is what i will put on if i want to feel extra nice. i use it as a lip color, but you can use it for a blush as well. it is so natural and so pretty. excuse the name, relish the color.

doesn't this make you feel inspired? my life's goal.

leave things more beautiful than when you came.

happy thursday!
