So, I'll need to explain this in full later, but I believe that there is some force in the universe that makes sure that things function properly. I believe that wishes come true, I believe in karma in that if you do good, good will come to you, and that it is possible to build up karma points. I blame Giulia and Manda for both of these beliefs, but for someone who believes strongly in science and not so much in religion, you just gotta believe in something right? So why not the universe. I've been slowly gathering proof that the universe functions properly, and I thought I'd put some here...
I made a wish on a wish anklet ((a lovely blue and yellow one)) that I would make friends in college and still keep my friends from home. I was insaaaanely paranoid that I would somehow magically lose all my friends from home when I went to college, then fail to make friends here. Ridiculous, I know, but still, a fear nonetheless. You make a wish when you put the anklet on, and its supposed to fall off when it comes true. One day at college, Brent and Jen, friends from home, visited. That same night, literally seconds after they left, I was sitting in a huge circle of chairs with my college friends, I moved my leg, and the anklet fell off.
I got a fortune out of a fortune cookie tonight. It claimed that "An upset is an opportunity to see the truth." I got so annoyed with so many people today, and trust me, I'm seeing the truth when it comes to them >_>
My roomie, Elizabeth, got a fortune at lunch one day that "A cheerful message is on its way." I had no knowledge of this fortune, all I knew was that Elizabeth had seemed stressed all that week, so I wrote her a lovely message on our whiteboard, something to the effect of, "Elizabeth, smile, because you're beautiful and amazing and I love you." She saw that the same night she got the fortune cookie fortune.
I keep making the same wish on no matter what star I see. Not telling what it is. But it happens. Every 11:11, every shooting star, every first star I see at night that wish. And I hope it never stops coming true.
You all won't believe me. Well, Manda will. But the universe functions properly. If things are supposed to happen, they will. Don't stress about it, you just gotta go with the flow.
<3
((SIDENOTE: FUNNY THING I SHOULD TELL PEOPLE NOT TO STRESS ABOUT THINGS WHEN I STRESS ABOUT EVERYTHING >>; SERIOUSLY THOUGH ITS FAAAAHNE.))

I need a summer beach day.
With every sun that sets I am feeling more like a stranger on a foreign shore, with that eroding beach disappearing from underneath. And when my mirror speaks it never minces words 'cause these eyes don't shine half as bright as they used to do and they haven't for quite awhile. 'Cause I'm a man who hides from all that binds and a mess of fading lines. And there's a tangled thread inside my head with nothing on either end. - Death Cab for Cutie

You make me smile.
I just... I wasn't in the best mood and then I was talking to a friend of mine, and he makes me smile. He really does. This is a little conversation excerpt for everyone out there who needs a bit of a reminder of what's important in this world. Because I can promise you, this guy is never ever upset.
"The reason why I am so happy all the time, is I just have SO MANY great friends. I can't help it. And it makes me happy to make others happy, and I'm just so good at that. It. Just. Never. Ends." -Josh
And he stayed true to his word... he made me smile, which in turn made him happy, and it seriously is just an endless loop. <3
And so today my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles. Happiness, no more is sad. Happiness, I'm glad. - Led Zeppelin

Accidents happen...
How does the karmic universe take accidents into account? Not purposefully causing harm or doing something wrong, but accidentally... It's not like someone wanted it to happen, but someone else was affected by it... does that mean the accidental offender has something bad coming? Does the person hurt have something good coming? Does nothing happen at all? Random musings for tonight...
I wanna live life, and never be cruel. I wanna live life, and be good to you. And I wanna fly, and never come down. And live my life, and have friends around. - Coldplay

Yep.
This just pretty much sums up everything right now.
No Other Way - Jack Johnson
When your mind is a mess
So is mine
I can't sleep
Cause it hurts when I think
My thoughts aren't at peace
With the plans that we make
Chances we take
They're not yours and not mine
There's waves that can break
All the words that we say
And the words that we mean
Words can fall short
Can't see the unseen
Cause the world is awake
For somebody's sake now, please close your eyes, woman,
Please get some sleep
And know that if I knew
All of the answers I would
Not hold them from you'd
Know all the things that I'd know
We told each other, there is no other way
Well too much silence can be misleading
You're drifting I can hear it in the way that your breathing
We don't really need to find reason
Cause out the same door that it came well its leaving its leaving
Leaving like a day that's done and part of a season
Resolve is just a concept that's as dead as the leaves
But at least we can sleep, its all that we need
When we wake we will find
Our minds will be free to go to sleep
And know that if I knew
All of the answers I would
Not hold them from you'd
Know all the things that I'd know
We told each other, there is no other way

Bought two nylon reusable bags that fold up into a teensy tiny other bag that holds them... its kind of ridiculous how happy they make me. Also my bffl learning Daylight by Matt and Kim on the keyboard. Holy crap that made me so happy <3
This warm weather makes me want spring/summer. And driving to Connecticut to see my college friends makes me want to road trip so bad... hopefully I won't get too stir crazy too soon...
Either way, it snowed, and now its melting, and Christmas is already past, its time for some summer.
At least spring anyways. I have plants growing, and I want to spend some time out in the sun.
And in the daylight we could hitch hike to Maine, I hope that someday I'll see without these frames. And in the daylight I don't pick up my phone, 'cause in the daylight anywhere feels like home. - Matt and Kim
