sleepless by christine wu in an aeroplane over the sea by neutral milk hotel 04 21 on a rainy monday. my body seems to have a mind of its own without the brain knowing, how can that be? there's a lingering itch of thought that i need to scratch so it can disappear for eternity; i am indifferent. that's not technically news because i am like anyone else. it's possible to be different in certain aspects, however, it is close to impossible to be completely out of the ordinary... unless you're bowie or smokey. i haven't been sleeping...

by Karen Wood isn't it a pity by george harrison i am currently in my room listening to george harrison's all things must past album while my sister talks little bits about Harrisongs Ltd and his top 5 best songs. i prefer a night like this -- sharing intricate details about one another because despite growing up together, we don't quite know each other as well as we thought, and it's refreshing.  on an unrelated note, do you know what i truly yearn for? riding my bike before the sun rises with a melancholy song blasting on my headphones,...

if you were to ask me few years ago if i’ll be able  to get out of the rabbit hole and slowly learn what it means to live life and achieve my dreams, i would laugh in disbelief. once a girl who depended on people’s acceptance and validation  has shape shifted into this stranger  whose intention is merely a pursuit of happiness. here i am up in the air a dreamer and curious being with fear of heights however, my worries evaporate  every single time the sky is in arm’s reach it feels like i’m flying i know...
