breathe again...

so over the weekend i was thinking about what i want to be for 

halloween.

this is my dream costume....

i am OBSESSED with the old south during the 1860's lately! 

(well, the one that is portrayed in movies and books, not the whole slavery/ civil war thing!)

i love it all! 

the dresses, the plantations, the big houses with the lavish parties and 

well spoken, well educated people.

it would be my dream vacation to go back there to Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama,

North Carolina and so many more places!

there is such a mystique and mythological world that resonates from these

places and it would be so much fun to be able to see 

this brought to life! 

ok so i don't want to get too deep today. i do have a lot of issues that have been

on my mind over the past couple days but this beautiful grey, fall day has me in a really good mood!

so i'll just share with you some songs that i have been obsessed with lately!

time of our lives- tyrone wells

only one- alex band

breathe again- sara bareilles

now.. these might all seem like really sad songs to you.

but some of the greatest pictures are painted by the lyrics in these songs!

and sometimes people like to live in the heartache and the pain.

sometimes it's because these are the words they are too afraid to say.

sometimes it because they find comfort in the pain, it might be all they've ever known.

and sometimes it's because the heartache in these words reminds them that

somewhere out there is something better.

and that something is just waiting to 

be invited in. 

happy monday! xoxo
