These Are a Few of My Favorite Things.

Let me share with you some of my current favorites on this beautiful Saturday.

Favorite song/music video: Both of Us- B.O.B. ft. Taylor Swift

Yes, I'm a typical girl that LOVES Taylor.  I think she makes songs that resemble my life completely and as a girl that loves song lyrics, I find meaning to most of her songs.  I love this song because I know people that I wish I could be strong enough to have them still in my life.  But now I gotta work on me as selfish as that is and eventually if life allows, I will have them in my life again.  Plus I think this video is stunning.  Not only am I a lover of song lyrics but I love images.  Photography is a hidden passion of mine, and I think this video has stunning use of light and filters.  

Favorite saying:

Yesterday a girl at work joked with me about my status on Facebook saying I would love to be a beach bum.  But I grew up spending every weekend at the beach from early in the morning to dinner time. I love how my hair looks after a beach day.  I love the feeling of sand beneath my toes.  And I'm totally happy sitting around in a bathing suit chatting with all my friends.  My motto in life has been and always will be that there is no problem in life that can't be solved at the beach.

Favorite current trend:

 

Love letters.  I may only see this trend because a girl from town is making a huge difference in the world by writing love letters, but I also really enjoying writing people notes.  Holly left me a love note at work which really said how much she disliked me after a crazy day, but it came from the heart.  And last summer, we use to write each other tons of love notes and leave them in each others lab coats.  Love letters though can make a person feel invincible and be a reference point whenever they are feeling down.  They let you know someone really does care and love you no matter what you are going through.  

I want to post more on the girl from town later, but I'll leave you with these few favorites of mine before I go enjoy this beautiful Saturday.  Enjoy everyone!

In That Moment, We Were Infinite

After watching the trailer for The Perks of Being a Wallflower last night, I decided to write a post about it.  Which includes my love for this book that I read a few weeks ago.

I'm sad I didn't read this back in high school, however, I am happy to get this off my bucket list.  Plus, I plan on keeping this sucker for all of my moves in the future.  This book is truly a keeper in my eyes.  It has described the struggles that every person goes through in high school but it's not just centered in high school. 

I think every person can relate to Charlie's feeling of loneliness even when he's with his friends.  I know I have felt that, even as soon as this year.  He is a young kid who has never had people really care for him unless they are family.  Do you remember that first group of friends that you had where you had to learn the dynamics of caring about someone?  And being so afraid that they don't really care for you because there is no way that a person you care for so much can want to be your friend?  Well, Charlie describes this in such a mature yet innocent way that makes you want to constantly turn the page.

I'm hoping the movie will be amazing, and from what I have seen of the trailer, I expect nothing but the best.  One of my favorite quotes came from this book.  "We accept the love we think we deserve."  I don't know why I love this, maybe it's because I have always struggled with the thought and idea of love.  But seriously?  And my friends and family shower me constantly with the love I never thought I would have ever.

I really do recommend you reading this book though.  I have read online constantly how this book is a must read for many people.  And after finishing it, I completely agree.
