Jersey Girl

Today I saw a movie from 2004 called Jersey Girl.

It became one of my favorite movies of all time.

This is the story of Oliver Trinké, a single dad who wasn't prepared to assume that role. He made a lot of mistakes and had to learn a lot of lessons the hard way. However, he was able to become an outstanding father to his little girl. 

7 year old Gertie is absolutely adorable and very mature for her age. It is astonishing how she was willing to make sacrifices in order to see her daddy smile. That's when he realized that part of being a parent is loving your child so deeply that your wishes no longer matter. From then on, Gertie's happiness would always be first. 

Appreciate your father 'cause "he's one of a kind" 

Not everyone has that.

I Love You

"Have you ever just looked at someone and though 

I love you. 

They're just talking, humming or laughing, and there's something about them in that moment that makes you think I really love you." 

Colors

"Saw them dancing in your eyes 

Like shadows in the night

Doing pirouettes around the stars

We were running in a haze

I remember every shade hit my veins and they shot up sparks 

Words fell from your lips 

and all I heard was white noise in the dark

But when you looked away 

I remember every shade

So let your colors run tonight

We're painting in the dark

Let your colors run tonight

The colors of your heart 

Let your colors run tonight

We're painting in the dark

Let your colours run tonight

The colors of your heart."

- Tritonal & Paris Blohm ft. Sterling Fox

Wildest Dreams

"He's so tall and hansome as hell
He's so bad but he does it so well

And when we've had our very last kiss 
My last request, it is...

Say you'll remember me

Standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset, babe

Red lips and rosy cheeks

Say you'll see me again 

Even if it's just in your wildest dreams"

- Taylor Swift 

Sparkle

With You

"But I don't want to dance

if I'm not dancing with you..."

Style

"You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye

And I got that red lip classic thing that you like

(...)

You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt

And I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt 

And when we go crashing down, we come back everytime

'Cause we never go out of style

We never go out of style."

- Taylor Swift

"She's hurt, mentally and emotionally. But everyday she walks with a smile because that's who she is: the girl who never stopped smiling."

"(...) but I knew that if anybody spoke to me or looked at me too closely the tears would fly out of my eyes and the sobs would fly out of my throat (...). I could feel the tears brimming and sloshing in me like water in a glass that is unsteady and too full."

- Sylvia Plath

Darkness I Became

I've been through hell and back. 


More than once.

I dream of a day when I won't go back. 

"If a writer falls in love with you, you can never die."

“I want to be a woman who overcomes obstacles by tackling them in faith instead of tiptoeing around them in fear.”

- Renee Swope

“Introverts, in contrast, may have strong social skills and enjoy parties and business meetings, but after a while wish they were home in their pajamas. They prefer to devote their social energies to close friends, colleagues, and family. They listen more than they talk, think before they speak, and often feel as if they express themselves better in writing than in conversation. They tend to dislike conflict. Many have a horror of small talk, but enjoy deep discussions.”

- Susan Cain

Amnesia

"(...)

It's like we never happened, was it just a lie?

If what we had was real how could you be fine?

'Cause I'm not fine at all.

I remember the day you told me you were leaving 

I remember the make-up running down your face

And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them 

Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia 

And forget about the stupid little things

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you

And the memories I never can escape

If today I woke up with you right beside me 

Like all of this was just some twisted dream

I'd hold you closer than I ever did before 

And you'd never slip away 

And you'd never hear me say 

I remember the day you told me you were leaving 

I remember the make-up running down your face

And the dreams you left behind you didn't need them 

Like every single wish we ever made

I wish that I could wake up with amnesia 

And forget about the stupid little things

Like the way it felt to fall asleep next to you

And the memories I never can escape

Do the things that scare you the most 'cause when you're desperate to feel something again, those are the things worth doing. 

Forever

"- How long is forever?

- Sometimes just a second."

"It's so strange how life works: You want something and you wait and wait and feel like it's taking forever to come. Then it happens and it's over and all you want to do is curl back up in that moment before things changed."

- Delirium

Snapshots, moments, mere seconds: as fragile and beautiful and hopeless as a single butterfly, flapping on against a gathering wind.
