places to be alone
in a gothic cathedral
lying in bed, listening to summer rain
a hot bubble bath on a wintery day
a bookstore or a library
pine forest, neck craned upwards at trees against the sky
natural history museum
sunrise from a hilltop, with only the birds for company
near a crackling fireplace with a good book and a teacup
in the grass at sunset, watching the clouds and the butterflies
riding a...
the town with no roads →
Giethoorn in Holland is a beautiful and quiet little village unique in that you will not find a single road in the entire town. Rather, it is connected by waterways and paths and some biking trails. Visitors are always welcomed and encouraged to rent an electric and noiseless “Whisper Boat” to explore this little piece of heaven on earth.

coffeeurlgirl a demandé : sometimes I wonder if I am too judgmental when it comes to love; what I mean is that I want real love and sweet, tender moments, but not overly cheesy things like taking pictures of our hands together making a heart. I want a sweet, private, quiet, love, that is dear to he, and I. I don't like cheesy romantics or silly pictures of us writing on each other's converse (seriously, why is...

Anonyme a demandé : I don't know why, but I always go to your blog in search of little tidbits about your day, or questions you've answered, or anything really to reveal your character. More so than for the photos on your blog, I come here to quench my strange fascination with you. I suppose that's kind of creepy, but I assure you it is harmless. You just seem like a really lovely, sweet and genuine...

Rain kisses! Are what happened to me just now as I collapsed in the green grass after running three miles, and I stretched out like a starfish and watched the darkish clouds swirling and blooming against a watery grey sky. And I heard chickadees and thrushes and robins and blue jays, and I saw a cat in the sky that morphed into a face and then into a fish, and then I felt a little peck of wetness...

Anonyme a demandé : you are so much more than any one or two or even a few things. i find that so amazing about you. your heart seems to be so open to everything from the outside, but so vulnerable from the inside. you know that saying, " youre your own worst enemy." well, if you can beat that, then you are going to be whatever you want to be. and be pretty good at it too. i'm sure of it. i wish you a...

meaculpaa a réagi à votre lien : what can you see me doing for a living
based on your blog and not knowing you personally or what you want to do…I could see a writer, or something artistic because you have a beautifully imaginative mind, or perhaps a teacher for young kids if that were your thing :)
wow, thank you! I wish I could be a writer, but I always hate what I write :(
