Advice of the day: find good hats that cost 10 dollars and buy them. Your head and heart will thank you.
My best friend lives 8,000 miles away but I have never been closer to anybody.
Paul is the first and only man I’ve let make my Ramen for me.
This is getting pretty serious…

Everyone who terrifies you is sixty-five percent water.
And everyone you love is made of stardust, and I know sometimes
you cannot even breathe deeply, and
the night sky is no home, and
you have cried yourself to sleep enough times
that you are down to your last two percent, butnothing is infinite,
not even loss.You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day
you are going to find yourself again.

Just when I thought “some people, like Carey Mulligan, just look better with short hair.” …..nope, she looking fucking perfect…always.

daisiesforinnocence asked: Tell us a bit about your parents/family, I'd love to know more of where you come from!
Oh wow! Well, my parents are named Nicole and Brian. They have been together since my mother was 17 and my dad was 20. They had my brother young and me a couple years later when they felt more equipped My dad was a military brat and my mother spent her entire life in Sacramento, California. They have been together through more than most and I think I learned so much about strong marriages from them. I really love them. I do. I’m constantly thinking about them and worrying about them. They’re just loving people. A fun fact about them would be that my dad has two full sleeves of tattoos and his entire back covered, while my mother doesn’t have a single one. Funny how they’d end up together.
Anonymous asked: i have such a great bf and amazing friends but sometimes when i'm not with them i just feel rly lonely... you never seem to feel this way, how can i be more like you?
I definitely feel lonely sometimes. However, I don’t ever feel truly alone. I find so much solace in books, tv shows, and movies. I live so much time in various worlds of Fiction and I think that helped with my loneliness Even before I had Paul or many friends. With that said, alone time is very healthy, and you need to take advantage of it because it won’t always be there. Find a hobby that you love. Pick up an instrument or a joy for running. Just do something that you can focus on, with yourself. I think that things like this will help you to appreciate and love your alone time. Don’t ever feel bad for feeling lonely though, we all feel this way. I certainly do sometimes. I am not above you, I stand right beside. We’re going through the same things, all of us, together. And therefore, maybe you never really are alone. I hope you smile more often, my friend.

Anonymous asked: I recently cut my hair maybe an inch longer than yours, and it curls up and out at the ends it makes me look like a soccer mom! Lol. But I was just wondering what is your hair care routine, and is it naturally straight or thin
Hahah, I totally understand where you’re coming from! My hair always flips out at the end! My hair is naturally curly so anytime i wear it curly I just twist it around my fingers and let it air dry or defuse it. But I still have to fix the ends with a flat iron! So, that’s my advice, the flat iron is your friend! I bet your hair looks lovely though.
