& I could write a song

100 miles long

Well, that's where I belong

& you belong with me

“I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.” 

-- John Green, Looking for Alaska

This.

Crack the shutters open wide

I want to bathe you in the light of day

And just watch you as the rays

Tangle up around your face and body

new york, new york

i want to wake up in the city that never sleeps
to find i’m king of the hill, top of the heap

"For my entire photographic career I have looked longingly at photos with forests in them and felt upset at the fact that where I live, you don’t get forests. This is exactly the kind of thinking I can’t stand, because in every aspect of life I believe that if you are unhappy with something, you change it. The forest that I love is only a 6 hour drive away, certainly doable if I really put my mind to it. Not only that, sitting around feeling bad about not having a great forest to shoot in does nothing to move me forward. Instead, it sets me back, makes me think that I am trapped when in fact I am the opposite - completely free in everything that I do. If I don’t have a forest, I should make my own, and so I have. I don’t feel limitations now, as of creating this picture. I feel like not even the sky is the limit. If I want a forest, I will create my own. If there is anything I want, I can create it with imagination."
