Memories are just where you laid them Drag the waters ’til the depths give up their dead What did you expect to find? Was there something you left behind? Don’t you remember anything I said when I said Don’t fall away and leave me to myself Don’t fall away And leave love bleedin’ in my hands, in my hands again Leave love bleedin’ in my hands, in my hands Love lies bleedin’ Oh, hold me now, I feel contagious Am I the only place that you’ve left to go? She cries her life is like Some movie black and white Dead actors fakin’ lines Over and over and over again she cries
Hit the ground Hit the ground running It’s a one way street With an open end And you never know What lies ahead But I always knew That this was it The signs were lit Oh I always knew I’m gonna hit the ground running Hit the ground running Only waiting for the marching drums I’ll be ready when the morning comes I’m gonna hit the ground running Hit the ground running Only waiting for the marching drums I’ll be ready when the morning comes I’m an overdrive Go to play offense And I won’t look back There be no regrets
I was hanging out with some of my favorite people last night and one of them made a comment about “lazy homeless” people. I quickly jumped on the defensive. As I have been homeless on a number of occasions in my 20s and there was nothing lazy about my situation. Of course, I encountered loads of other homeless people during those times. I had to explain that while there are some people that simply don’t want to be responsible members of society. However, the bulk of the homeless people I encountered were anything but lazy. As being homeless is not an easy way to live. People that live in shelters must abide by an excess of rules put in place to keep things as orderly as possible. There are curfews and requirements one must continuously make to continue their stay and many shelters have limitations on how long people can reside there. I don’t have specific numbers, but I’d dare say that the majority of homeless people have not chosen that lifestyle as their preferred method of existence. Plus there are far more living without shelter. That is NOT an easy way to live. Its beyond dangerous. Once a person is homeless, it is safe to say that getting back on your feet is ridiculously hard. As I pointed out to my friend, what is the first thing you do the morning of a job interview? Shower, right? If you have no home, you have no shower and probably don’t have much in the way of a clean nice outfit to wear. Anyway, the point is, don’t be so quick to judge people in situations you can’t begin to understand. Turns out that one of the other people there had also experienced homelessness and was glad that I spoke up. Meanwhile, our uninformed friend was enlightened and apologized. I didn’t find the apology necessary, but it was appreciated. I was especially glad that we were all able to have such a beautiful conversation about life without hate or disgust. I won’t name them, because too many private matters were discussed and only my part of the story is mine to tell. I suspect they might read this and because they might I want to give them to know something. I love you and I’m so grateful for your friendship. I look forward to getting to know you even better in the years to come. ♥
Clearly that has nothing to do with the photo. So, I’d like to add that if you have not gotten the Spring Decocrate, this set from Serenity Style is worth getting it, just for this set. Even if you didn’t pre order it, its worth the price. Go grab yours. I have to pay full price, too, cuz I forgot to pre order…lol. You’ll also notice I’m wearing the new Lost Girl dress from Vinyl. This is the first dress Vinyl has released in ages and its so cute! AND it goes perfectly with these new wedges that Breathe released at the Arcade! So get out your wallets, its time to go shopping!!

Matching shoes to outfits is often one of the curses we face in the fashion world. However, when it comes to matching an outfit from {le fil casse}, I know hands down that Breathe will be my goto for shoes. Their color palettes are very similar and if all else fails, you can find that perfect neutral color at Breathe. I still remember the first pair of shoes I bought from Breathe back in the day. They were a neutral tone with a big buckle at the ankle and I wore those shoes a lot! I’m all about some neutral tones from head to toe. Both of these brands are amazing for that.
It’s hard to show in a still photograph, but I did my best to show the glitter on the dress. However, what you don’t see is that this glitter sparkles! Not like bling. Don’t be silly. Jacinda has infused some sort of moving glitter magic on this dress and it is wonderful. I mean, who doesn’t love shiny, sparkly dresses?!?!?
One more quick little shoutout. Valentine’s Day is around the corner, but not all of us have a romantic interest, much less a Valentine. No matter what side of the V-day coin you relate to, there’s a coffee cup for you at Burrow Co. You can see my favorite in the photo, but if you click the link you’ll see all three. Naturally, I had to put Rezz Room’s chihuahua in the photo, cuz if you’ve been to Burrow Co., you’ve probably met Gus the resident coffee house mascot. There’s so much to see there, so drop by, grab a cup of coffee, and explore the sim. ♥

“Owners of dogs will have noticed that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god. Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are gods.” ― Christopher Hitchens, The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Nonbeliever

Have you ever just wanted to get in you car and drive with no destination in mind? I have and I’ve done it more than once. Of course, the problem with that is….eventually you have to stop for gas and by that time, you’re God knows where. Fortunately, there’s GPS on most phones these days. If you’re lucky you’ve got cell service wherever you’ve landed and can find your way home. Most of us have responsibilities and loved ones that simply don’t allow us to do such a thing without hurting someone. Annnd, let’s be fair, the whole idea loses it’s appeal if you have to call and explain to someone that you’re trying to run away, but not forever…you’ll be back…eventually… Yeah, that goes over like a ton of bricks. Trust me, I tried that way. You have to explain to someone why you feel the need to do this and by the time you’re done explaining it. Yeah, the whole idea is just ruined. Don’t even get me started on the fact that when this idea strikes, you’re never prepared and packing a bag takes so much away from the spontaneity. I guess as we grow older and…*grumbles*…more mature. Ugh. We tend to realize what a mess can be made from a random road trip to nowhere. When I was younger and didn’t depend quite so much on medications, this was something I’d do. There were no cell phones (yes, I’m that old, fuck off) and by the time you stopped to get gas, you could justify not calling on the lack of working payphones.

When the world is laughing at itself, all she can do is cry
But when the world is scared and crying out, she laughs fearless inside
‘Cause she believes ’til she can see
Floating freely, breathing easy over stratospheres
Eternity throws glory, stars redeeming all the years
Do you believe and will you dream
Turning the pages
Open these cages
Quiet days we can hear this sound
Heaven’s throne in the earth come down
The decree’s out now
Never been so loud
Making way for the undoing
Of the death in everything
The decree’s out now
Never been so loud
The time’s not near, it’s here
A holy fear is here
It’s here
I’m sorry but your story isn’t adding up
Think your religion is a lie to keep my mouth shut
So I won’t testify the crimes you’re keeping score of
Why don’t you throw me to the wolves I thought you were one
You were standing there like an angry god
Counting out my sins just to cross them off
Saying that my tongue was too loud to trust
And that my blood couldn’t keep you
My dear, you’re not so innocent
You’re fooling Heaven’s gates
So you won’t have to change
You’re no saint, you’re no savior
Your revelations don’t look nothing like the pictures
You read between the lines and don’t stick to the scriptures
You only follow rules if others follow with you
That doesn’t sound so holy only playing victim
~ Echos – Saints
