Nourishment For The Soul.

Just gonna leave this here because 2016 is ending and I'm happy to say it ended with discovering a new movie to add to my faves. Also here is my favorite scene and song from the film. :) " Look at her. She races home every evening just to catch that little bit of sun, have a cigarette and read her papers. She's always talking about going on a holiday to Spain, but he never takes her. That's all she gets. Then that tall tree blocks it, and she comes in. I often wonder what she's thinking about."

THIS WEEK WAS A GOOD WEEK AND HERE IS WHY. Being happy is such a simple simple thing to do. We think it takes a ton of money and effort and friends but it doesn't.

This month, my boyfriend and I went our separate ways after 4 wonderful years. With that said...I'm not talking about those kinds of relationships. I mean the ones with the people you cherish most and that you know will always be in your life. I've grown distant from my family for the past four years in college, and just recently after my break-up, I've started to visit my parents and talk to my sister more. I've been in and out of romantic relationships since I was 15, and have almost lost sight of the real, lasting relationships in my life. In just three weeks I've felt closer to my friends than I have in the last four years...and it is absolutely refreshing. It is so easy to get swallowed up in romance that you forget those who came before. Relationships are the very essence of who you are. Yes, we are a...
