i'm far from

i imagine myself ten years ago and it makes my cheeks ache to remember that my days were spent with Touched By An Angel and matching overalls for "family" photos. Ten years ago. I can't write that sentence and not cause my mind to bounce all around with thoughts ten years old and thoughts ten days old. My life has happened fast forward-fast and even that is only ten years. I don't hate my eyes for watching over joyous wording string out of angels' mouths, or my body for holding up a sheet of an outfit. I hate and love that i didn't know better and didn't care. When this light hits my paper all i can think about is how i couldn't swallow thinking about all the things my body will hold these next ten years, all the everything my eyes will have to see these next ten years. And then all at once i can't breathe the next ten seconds.



today i felt like baking lovely things.

Sooo weird that you posted this because my best friend and I were talking about ten years ago today, aswell. The way you said that you can't stop to breathe for ten seconds, you completely captured my emotions. Unbelievable that were on the same page. And, that someone else gets it.
