Why Knot

Timshel

You know the song, Timshel, by Mumford & Sons?

I absolutely adore that song for multiple reasons.

Mostly, it makes me feel a range of different emotions.

That was the song I blasted when I knew my grandfather was about to pass away

and also the song I played when I knew I had to break up with a boy.

This song has a way of bringing out any and every emotion you may be holding inside.

Even emotions you didn't know you had will be brought up while listening

to this song. But in a kind of amazing way.

I'm a firm believer in letting go of emotions whether they are good or bad.
Just let it out, ya know?
I never regret a good cry. It's the best type of cleanse.

Do you have a song that pulls every emotion out of you?

What I'm Loving!

Sweater, shoe, necklace and notepad from J.Crew. Dress from Kate Spade.

I bought the necklace this weekend and I can't wait to style it! Also, how adorable

is the navy daisy dress from Kate Spade? I'm on a shift dress kick right now.

I don't think they'll ever go out of style. I also love the idea

of always carrying around a notepad for when ideas, brilliant or not, pop up.

The one above is perfect.

We Are Young

Something happened recently where I was left disappointed and frustrated. A little hurt, but mostly

disappointed and mad at myself for always believing in people maybe a little too much.

So the morning was difficult because on top of that we were out of milk

and I realized my half and half went bad after I put it in my coffee.

Just a morning of little frustrations.

But then the day ended up being one of the very best after I let my mind

not dwell on the disappointments and instead turned to my friends.

And then I thought of one of my favorite songs and the line that says, "We are young,

we are one, let us shine for what it's worth."

And so I let it go and look where it got me.

Here's the song::

Life Lately...

Lately life has been good my friends! Tucson has been showing off, weather wise, (although

it's going to get warmer starting this week) I was reunited with the people I studied abroad with

and we had an Italian themed dinner that was a blast, and school is kicking into gear.

My beloved SaltWaters have been mastering puddles like a boss with the monsoon weather we've

been having and last night it was so beautiful outside I couldn't do anything but sit on our front

stoop and look at the sky (Top photo). So that's where I'm at.

I hope life has been treating you well. :)

Don't Forget to Love Yourself

And kid, you’ve got to love yourself. You’ve got wake up at four in the morning, brew black coffee, and stare at the birds drowning in the darkness of the dawn. You’ve got to sit next to the man at the train station who’s reading your favorite book and start a conversation. You’ve got to come home after a bad day and burn your skin from a shower. Then you’ve got to wash all your sheets until they smell of lemon detergent you bought for four dollars at the local grocery store. You’ve got to stop taking everything so damn personally. You are not the moon kissing the black sky. You’ve got to compliment someones crooked brows at an art fair and tell them that their eyes remind you of green swimming pools in mid July. You’ve got to stop letting yourself get upset about things that won’t matter in two years. Sleep in on Saturday mornings and wake yourself up early on Sunday. You’ve got to stop worrying about what you’re going to tell her when she finds out. You’ve got to stop over thinking why he stopped caring about you over six months ago. You’ve got to stop asking everyone for their opinions. F--- it. Love yourself, kiddo. You’ve got to love yourself.

Some quotes just make you sit up and reflect and this quote made me do just that.

Don't forget to love yourself.
