slowly we unfold, as lotus flowers




three bad photos make one good photo



I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand,
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?
These sensations barely interest me for another day,
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away.

It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand,
On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, it's a no man's land,
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now,
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow.

What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again,
I'm watching you, I'm watching her, I'll take no pity from you friends,
Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a damn right now,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling,
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling,
Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling.

I LOVE joy division.

  1. i found youuuu. to answer your questions:
    "Because you leave logic out of it; because after all, the heart wants what the heart wants and what can you do about that.Because you’ve been holding onto the possibility of becoming a whole again for months, for years, safe and protected by the idea that no matter what happens, you’re not alone because of that faint background possibility of
    Us.Because Hollywood or literature or God made you believe that love is enough."
    Hollywood romantic films? lolol A walk to Remember, The Notebook, The Titanic, lol. so on so on so on. I wouldn't mind something like the Notebook, it's kind of realistic up until the point where they die together. lol. whatever. But other Hollywood films are weird, they really are. i'm not too sure about them. LITERATURE, holy shit! depends on what you're reading. some of it is amazing and you're just like woah, cause it's complex, honest, tragic, and beautiful. Other types are sad and a failure. those tend to be very realistic. i think most people fuck up in love. maybe we all do. idk. we're too young, i think, not to fuck up. then again some people do it... or maybe they just seemingly don't fuck up but if we were their best friends or if they were more public about it or more transparent we'd see it. And God... well the bible has it all the way through that good and love. Isn't it the bible that says, love conquers all? i believe so.
    I think all of things added together make everyone (at some point) want something stupid like that... but is it stupid? I'm not too sure.

    "You’re going to feel high off your feelings. You’re going to feel high off drugs....You’re going to rely entirely on fun nights with your friends for your happiness because you
    don’t know how to love yourself yet. You’re going to be so happy and so sad."

    This written by a news lady. For people in their youth. I think she's kind of dead on. Maybe, i'm just sad when i'm lonely because i'm not comfortable with myself although i think i am. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k7X7sZzSXYs
    loneliness is an art.

  2. love does conquer all, at times. I just don't feel like the yearning from it comes for hollywood, or literature, and especially not god. It should come from a person.
    I think hollywood movies make us want something that doesn't exist. all of them, even the notebook. it's entertaining to watch, sure, but i'm not going to change my expectations because of it. i'm not going to want love because of it. it makes em sad to think of all the people who have watched the notebook and feel lonely because of it. they were fine before.
    i feel like movies should leave us with an idea, not a message.
    literature i guess is better because we control what we want to see in our little mind of ours. when i read a book about love that i like, i don't want a love like theirs though. I want my own kind of love. I just like admiring whatever happened to another person from a far. It's nice.
    Fucking up is definitely a part of loving. Saying it isn't makes it sound like people are perfect and that forgiveness doesn't exist.
    People fuck up on different scales though so of course this doesn't hold true to every situation.
    god. oh, this overwhelming subject. let's just assume this 'god' we're talking about is the one Christians rant and rave about. Gods definition of love, if there is any, i bet, is far different from mine. I was going to go into deal, but I think what I said already is enough.
    Yeah, it is stupid. I feel pretty strongly about that.
    I like the part about emotions triumphing logic though. I agree with that. I just don't think anyone should ever have these be their motives, especially when they feel lonely. They shouldn't feel lonely, they should just feel alone. And learn to laugh at themselves.
    I guess what I'm trying to say is that I probably wouldn't be friends with this person.

    That is their reality. This is mine.

    oh, i thought she was talking about a specific person. I was going to say...that's kind of mean lol. If someone told me that I'd be like "D:<!!!".
    I get high off my feelings, drugs, and my friends all the time and I love myself. Maybe one day I won't, and I'll feel that way, so then, yeah, I guess she's right, sort of, maybe, in a way. I don't know.
