A comic that sums up my experience getting glasses. You mean everyone can see the leaves on trees?! But that’s like superpowers!
Gotta love that just-seeing-the-world-for-the-first-time feeling! I remember getting my first pair of glasses, and how amazing it was to be able to read signs, and see the chalkboard from my seat at the back of the classroom…
“Hold you in my arms; I just wanted to hold you in my arms.”

Listen
The Pretenders - I’ll Stand by You
Oh, why do you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and come to me now
Don’t be ashamed to cry
Let me see you through
‘Cause I’ve seen the dark side, too
When the night falls on you
You don’t know what to do
Nothing you confess
Could make me love you less
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
So if you’re mad, get mad
Don’t hold it all inside
Come on and talk to me now
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I’m a lot like you
When you’re standing at the crossroads
And don’t know which path to choose
Let me come along
‘Cause even if you’re wrong
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Take me into your darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
And when
When the night falls on you, baby
You’re feeling all alone
You won’t be on your own
I’ll stand by you
I’ll stand by you
Won’t let nobody hurt you
I’ll stand by you
Take me into your darkest hour
And I’ll never desert you
I’ll stand by you
This is part of why I moved up north.
Today, I was walking around campus and I passed by a huge pile of leaves. All of a sudden, a guy’s head popped out of the pile and he screamed “SO MUCH HAPPINESS!!” I love college. MLIA.
On the Bus Mall
The Decemberists
The Decemberists - On the Bus Mall
This song makes me think of long car rides in the rain while you’re excited to get to where you’re going, but also kind of sad, knowing the journey will end soon.
Love, love...love?
Sometimes I think about cutting out little red paper hearts and sticking them up all around work for random people to find. I don’t know if this would be appreciated, or just looked down on by corporate.
