It Takes a Trian to Cry

I got my new shoes in! If you follow me on Instagram, you know how excited and obsessed I've been about these shoes. (Follow my Instagram here!) They finally came in last night and I literally wore them around my house for hours, and then to class and out and about all day today! It's pretty safe to say they are well broken into. I love the folksy feel of these shoes. I am a huge fan of 1960s and 1970s fashion, but I think that the folk aspect of that time is often largely left unnoticed. People think of bohemian and hippie and disco fever, which is all very relevant, but there's something about Bob Dylan and Joan Baez's folk style and attitude that always appealed to me way more. These shoes just evoke a feeling in me. I love when fashion can do that, just the same way a song can; just the way a Bob Dylan song can.

Acutely Aware

 Hey everyone. I am feeling so refreshed and energized today. It seems like I am never at a neutral state. When I'm sad, it might only last a day, but it feels so deep and hopeless. When I'm happy though, I feel like every breath I take is such a beautiful experience. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that music has a huge effect on my mood. I've been listen to music with a specific purpose in mind, and the purpose in mind is to feel grateful and happy. Not happy in a sappy way, but in a genuine way, and in an aware way. I guess the word would be enlightened. A quote that comes to mind is one by Sylvia Plath, it best describes what I'm feeling lately, and what I want for myself.

"I want to become acutely aware of all I have taken for granted."


I have a March playlist to share with you guys later. It's just kind of a state-of-mind for March playlist; songs that make me feel this way, I guess. I hope you all become acutely aware of all you have taken for granted, even just for a moment today. <3
