I ran to the hills

and sang till my lungs ached

joy tosses inside me like a wild sea

i cannot repress it, i must breath it

until it soaks into their skin like a soft summer rain

inspires them like a pink-colored dream

i got an award from the lovely Karolina, thank you!
here are my answers




▲ why do you blog? ▲

i blog, because i don't want my words to be unspoken and unheard. i don't want to go through life without anyone knowing who i am, and what dreams are etched over my heart. and i've discovered so many kindred spirits along the way...

▲ three best memories ▲

running across a beach on a summer night with my brothers. the silver tide rolling in, the moon spreading milk-white paths across the waves... we scooped up the sand with our hands, and it sparkled with little glowing sea-insects, like buried stars. it was breathtaking

watching the sun rise on the rooftop with one of my dearest friends, and talking of life

reading your encouraging comments and beautiful posts... some of my sweetest memories

▲ if i could change my name, what would it be? ▲

i love this question! i'd change it to either Emilia, or Florence Gray... i think they're such pretty names

▲ tell us a unique and interesting fact about yourself ▲

hmmm... not sure this is interesting, but i have this fascination for uncharted territories. the places i want to visit the most one day are bleak, vast, and empty... Iceland, Siberia, the English Moors, icy China and the Arctic... and above all, i want to go down to the deep sea and explore what lies there.

▲ what do you love most about yourself ▲

haha, well... i like that i don't ignore people. there's nothing worse than being invisible

▲ if i had a freaky friday experience, who would i change places with? ▲

i'd change places with keira knightley. i think she's so interesting and smart and classy

▲ what is the best thing about being a woman? ▲

possessing the ability to wear florals, and the primal instinct to consume tea.

thank you, Karolina, i loved the questions :)

i'd love if you'd answer my favorite question for me :

▲ if you could change your name, what would it be? ▲

and the sea breathed salty

seven things that make me happy-

the ocean... 'ye waves that o'er the interminable ocean wreathe your crisped smiles'

-aeschylus

freedom... swimming beneath a soup of stars, howling in the wind, dancing barefoot on the wild grass

tea... there is a great deal of poetry and fine sentiment in a chest of tea.

-ralph waldo emerson

love... the sweet wine of life

photography... the capturing of an emotion, a dream, a fleeting moment in a tangible image

friendship... that beautiful moment when you find someone with the same words written on their soul as you

books... 'a book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy.'

-edward P. morgan
