Dreams

People think dreams aren’t real because they aren’t made of matter, of particles. Dreams are real. 

But they’re made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes…

More Stompers

I know, I know, these shoes look very bridal, but I envisioned them dressed down with skinny jeans and some sort of nonchalant top.

I

“I needed time to get used to my new self. What kind of a being was this self of mine? 

How did it function? What did it feel—and how? 

I had to grasp each of these things through experience, to memorize and stockpile them. 

Do you see what I am saying? Virtually everything inside me had spilled out and been lost. 

At the same time that I was entirely new, I was almost entirely empty. 

I had to fill in that blank, little by little. One by one, with my own hands. 

I had to make this thing I called ‘I’—or, rather, make the things that constituted me.”

 - Haruki Murakami, The Wind Up Bird Chronicle

U Should Know Better

I just wanna win. I’d rather chase my dreams than to try and chase these men, that try to chase these skirts, that try to chase these shots with flavors that aren’t even as sweet as me.
