Don't Get Lost in Heaven

Strange things happening lately. I am shifting and staying put all at the same time.

This has been in my head all day - I'd embed it buuuut apparently you can't watch it on Blogger for copyright reasons. Gorillaz - Don't Get Lost In Heaven

I FINALLY went to the Museum of Jurassic Technology over the weekend; it was...dark and confusing? I loved it. I probably could've taken a few photos inside even though they ask everyone not to, but I totally forgot because it was just so friggen interesting. There's also a rooftop garden where everyone can enjoy the free tea that they give out to visitors - it's tranquil and beautiful and I think my heartbeat slowed down quite a bit while I was up there. If you're trying to propose to me or feed some birdies or impress me or somethin', that's a good place to take me.








I feel the same as I did 3 hours ago or 3 weeks ago or 3 years ago, really. My heart feels full and I look at things in a different way than most. I'm just having trouble figuring out where to put it all. For the past few years I've struggled a bit with feeling like I wasn't "normal" enough - especially lately. Not that I'd ever want to be NORMAL normal. You know what I mean, though? I'm a wildcard and I don't mesh with the desires/expectations of so many people, but when I do, it is an electric explosion of color and light and is, quite frankly, a relief. I will happily take a great conversation with one person that truly understands me over 100 conversations about boring shit with another. I'm just not a "filler" kind of person. I have to keep reminding myself that there's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

Maybe no one knows what I'm talking about.

Also important to note: I forgot how much I love Maurice Ravel. The orchestral version of Le Tombeau De Couperin takes my breath away sometimes. Listen with me?

  2. That rooftop looks amazing. I'm also not into doing things the "normal" way. I feel like I have my own path - it just may not be what everyone wants/expects of me.

    1. Yes, definitely go! It was so strange and so worth it. It looks so small from the outside but once you're inside it's easy to get lost because there are so many little rooms. It's a lot of reading and a lot of looking at the company you're with, going, "WTF is this?" haha

  5. LOVE the Portlandia reference. I will probably laugh about/ quote that until the date I die.
