Loving this song more than any other at the moment:

“When life leaves you high and dry

I’ll be at your door tonight if you need help, if you need help

I’ll shut down the city lights,

I’ll lie, cheat, I’ll beg and bribe to make you well, to make you well

When enemies are at your door I’ll carry you away from war

If you need help, if you need help

Your hope dangling by a string

I’ll share in your suffering to make you well, to make you well

Give me reasons to believe that you would do the same for me

And I would do it for you, for you

Baby I’m not moving on

I’ll love you long after you’re gone

For you, for you

You would never sleep alone

I’ll love you long after you’re gone

And long after you’re gone gone gone

When you fall like a statue

I’m gonna be there to catch you

Put you on your feet, you on your feet

And if your well is empty

Not a thing will prevent me

Tell me what you need, what do you need

I surrender honestly

You’ve always done the same for me

And I would do it for you, for you

Baby I’m not moving on

I’ll love you long after you’re gone

For you, for you

You would never sleep alone

I’ll love you long after you’re gone

And long after you’re gone gone gone

You’re my back bone, you’re my cornerstone

You’re my crutch when my legs stop moving

You’re my head start, you’re my rugged heart

You’re the pulse that I’ve always needed

Like a drum baby don’t stop beating

Like a drum baby don’t stop beating

Like a drum baby don’t stop beating

Like a drum my heart never stops beating

For you, for you

Baby I’m not moving on

I’ll love you long after you’re gone

For you, for you

You would never sleep alone

I’ll love you long after you’re gone

For you, for you

Baby I’m not moving on

I’ll love you long after you’re gone

For you, for you

You would never sleep alone

I’ll love you long, long after you’re gone

Like a drum baby don’t stop beating

Like a drum baby don’t stop beating

Like a drum baby don’t stop beating

Like a drum my heart never stops beating for you

And long after you’re gone gone gone

I’ll love you long after you’re gone gone gone”

“You Don’t Have to Be Pretty. You don’t owe prettiness to anyone. Not to your boyfriend/spouse/partner, not to your co-workers, especially not to random men on the street. You don’t owe it to your mother, you don’t owe it to your children, you don’t owe it to civilization in general. Prettiness is not a rent you pay for occupying a space marked ‘female’.”
//Diana Vreeland

Hiking Buttermilk Falls yesterday. This is my subtle “F*** YOU” to MS and Rebif. Thank you, legs, for carrying me up and down the falls. I appreciate it.

When I wrote “I Won’t Give Up”… I was really bummed out and I hate sharing that because I’ve had everything… I’ve had all my dreams come true. I was given a great gift, I was given a great community to share it. And I was given a great network of people to get it all around the world. And yet, one still experiences melancholy.”

If you find a girl who reads, keep her close. When you find her up at 2 AM clutching a book to her chest and weeping, make her a cup of tea and hold her. You may lose her for a couple of hours but she will always come back to you. She’ll talk as if the characters in the book are real, because for a while, they always are. She’s the one lovingly looking over the shelves in the bookstore, the one who quietly cries out when she finds the book she wants. Give her the gift of words, in poetry, in song.

You will smile so hard you will wonder why your heart hasn’t burst and bled out all over your chest yet. You will write the story of your lives, have kids with strange names and even stranger tastes. She will introduce your children to the Cat in the Hat and Aslan, maybe in the same day. You will walk the winters of your old age together and she will recite Keats under her breath while you shake the snow off your boots.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. You deserve a girl who can give you the most colorful life imaginable. If you can only give her monotony, and stale hours and half-baked proposals, then you’re better off alone. If you want the world and the worlds beyond it, date a girl who reads. Or better yet, date a girl who writes.
