| Right under my feet there's air made of bricks
Pulls me down turns me weak for you
I find myself repeating like a broken tune
And I'm forever excusing your intentions
And I give in to my pretendings
Which forgive you each time
Without me knowing
They melt my heart to stone
And I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head
I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love
Each and every time I turn around to leave
I feel my heart begin to burst and bleed
So desperately I try to link it with my head
But instead I fall back to my knees
As you tear your way right through me
I forgive you once again
Without me knowing
You've burnt my heart to stone
And I hear your words that I made up
You say my name like there could be an us
I best tidy up my head
I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love
Why do you steal my hand
Whenever I'm standing my own ground
You build me up, then leave me dead
Well I hear your words you made up
So I say your name like there should be an us
I best tidy up my head
I'm the only one in love
I'm the only one in love
Melt my heart to stone - Adele

| Does anyone else go through spurts of dling music? Once I start, I can't stop. I dled three new albums yesterday.. and they're all SO amazing. The first Ray Lamontagne album (why did I not discover it until now??), Priscilla Ahn's debut album, and Ingrid Michaelson's second album.
I loooove love love Ingrid Michaelson. She's just quirky enough to be different and her lyrics are simplistic but relatable enough to have impact. Her song with Sara Bareilles was a constant play on my iPod in December (Winter Song). so pretty~
Keep Breathing
The storm is coming but i don't mind.
People are dying, I close my blinds.
All that I know is I'm breathing now.
I want to change the world...instead I sleep.
I want to believe in more than you and me.
But all that i know is I'm breathing.
All i can do is keep breathing.
All we can do is keep breathing now.
The underlined lyrics strike me in particular, because they ring so true. These are two separate lines of thought that often bother me. I find myself caught in the despair that I want to make such a difference but I often fall prey to my own indifference and inaction. I also want to be less absorbed in my relationship, but I keep on falling back into my familiar patterns.
First step is acknowledgement...
Next step....?

| it ain't so easy
to love you true
account of all the rattlesnakes
and all that makes you blue
but it's worth it
i love
the thrill
come on through
come on you
come dig right
into my heart
what is the body
if not a place
where you store all your anger
and happiness and pain
but it's worth it
i love
the thrill
come on through
come on you
come dig right
into my heart
come on through

| I've transitioned from 2008 to 2009 pretty smoothly. There are some years when it takes me until August to click that it's the right year, and there are years like this one when I know immediately that it's 2009. I could be dramatic and say, "where is the time going??" I do admit to have minor quarterlife crises on a somewhat-regular basis, but I suppose that it's the mark of someone who's thinking about her life.
school doesn't start for another two weeks, but my new placement starts tomorrow, so i'm back in freezing boston. time away has been good for the most part. time to eat good food, spend time with family, see some friends, see familiar people in new contexts.
here's to a good start. a good year. happiness and peace.

| my mother is trying to set me up with a guy when i'm back home in december, even without knowing that i am now single (i didn't tell her because of this very fact) is ridiculous. she is so desperate for me to get married. who is it all for? why the rush? i am only 25. what. the. hell.
i am irritated beyond belief. the fact that she tells me 'congratulations! you look very skinny!' isn't all that encouraging.
what is wrong with korean mothers? can i vow never to be like her (in this aspect, at least)?
