life, you guys. for all the times i feel inadequate and frustrated with it, there really are some beautiful things along the way. like this:



watching lately: half the sky (on netflix), a revealing film about the oppression of women and girls around the world. it’s incredibly moving and heartbreaking, and even though ignorance is seems like bliss, i can’t urge you enough to watch it too.

reading lately: i just finished the perks of being a wallflower (so i could go see the movie! which was purely delightful). now i’m rereading the hobbit (HAS IT REALLY BEEN TEN YEARS SINCE THE LAST TIME I READ THAT?! TIME FLIES! CAPS LOCK! OMG!) so i’ll be all brushed up and ready for the long-awaited release of the movie next month. EXCITEMENT.

thinking about lately: what’s going on in the world and how i can make a difference. because i really want to get involved and help people. i want to stand up to the institutional injustices in the world. i want to “be the change i wish to see in the world.”

loving lately: the long movie day husband and i had this week! i bundled up in my most comfortable clothes ever, and we saw flight, wreck it ralph, and the perks of being a wallflower. i won’t tell you how much popcorn or diet cherry coke i had.

listening to lately: i finally downloaded the new mumford and sons album and am obsessed with it. it’s nice technology has advanced beyond cassette tapes because mine would be worn out by now.
