go go go

Lately, all I have wanted to do is GO somewhere far away. I have been missing England fiercely. I cannot wait to be in NYC in fifteen days. I want to visit the Carolinas again this summer; I want to be at my friend's wedding and I want to spend time with my aunt and uncle in their house that has no air conditioning because it has no need--even in August. And I'm ready to be living in Dallas; I really think I am. I'm excited to be somewhere different, live life differently, make new friends, discover things for myself. I guess I'm saying that I'm ready for change. Big change. (: Bring it on.

An Important Thing

This is very, very important:

It is important to me that I tell the people I love that I love them, often. It is more important to me to tell them I love them than to stay angry when they do annoying things. No matter what happens in the course of a day, I like to say goodnight with an "I love you" so that they know I still love them, even when I'm frustrated.

And just because I say "I love you" a lot, that doesn't diminish the truth of it. I love hard, I love a lot, I love deeply. Maybe you're not used to it, but you'll get used to it, if you let me stick around. I will love you. <3

I love stories.

Please go read this story on one of my favorite blogs, mackin ink, by the author of t.ruffles which is my little piece of beauty every day. (: The story may break your heart a little. But it's beautiful.
