i'm emma - twenty-two, new to nashville and law school, and still learning to live with this wide open heart of mine. you'll find me in the mountains, or running, or anywhere i can sip good coffee or wine and read some poetry. i'm growing every day. i'm trying -always- to live in the light.

It’s Called Maximalism, Babe

Why shouldn’t I stop and smell the espresso beans / Or say, in a voice a little too loud, This is the best margarita I’ve ever had!! / Or use the full curse word / Or have my dessert first / Why shouldn’t I give it my all / And do it for the story / And leap before looking / And let love consume me / Why shouldn’t I use my expensive face creams with abandon / Triple text my crush / Laugh at my own jokes / Cry at commercials / Sing at the top of my lungs while I vacuum / Buy the orange chair / Paint the town purple / And fly across the country just to pinch a cheek / Why shouldn’t I hold your face in both of my hands at 11:30AM on a Tuesday while you’re chopping a salad and remind you that you’re the center of my happiest days / Why shouldn’t I memorize how the sun comes in from the front window / Turn the music up / Give the dog a piece of cheese / Say what I mean / Let my hair down / Forgive fast / Believe that the best is yet to come / Tell me - no really - why shouldn’t I? Why shouldn’t we? Why shouldn’t you?

Let's run through the medow and never look back

it is okay to gasp at the sunset every single evening like it is the first sunset you have ever seen. it is okay to take photos of everything you find pretty. it is okay to laugh about something that happened a week ago (it is okay to laugh entirely too much). it is okay to say that the sunlight looks like honey, that the world looks like a dream today. it is okay to memorize poems by heart and recite them to people who make your heart feel warm. it is okay to take this life and weave it golden. don’t let anyone tell you that you are silly or dramatic or stupid. you are beautiful. you have beautiful eyes through which everything sparkles and nothing goes unnoticed and you are so loved for that.

“Finally, in a low whisper, he said, “I think I might be a terrible person.” For a split second I believed him - I thought he was about to confess a crime, maybe a murder. Then I realized that we all think we might be terrible people. But we only reveal this before asking someone to love us. It is a kind of undressing.”

— Miranda July, excerpt from The First Bad Man

“What I remember is love - all love - love of this dirt road, this sunrise, a day by the river, the stranger I met in a cafe. Myself, even, which is the hardest thing of all to love, because love and selfishness are not the same thing. It is easy to be selfish. It is hard to love who I am. No wonder I am surprised if you do.”

i think when we meet someone we will grow to love, we recognize them a little bit. we know them beyond what our eyes can see. not a soul mate or a twin flame, but someone whose edges line up perfectly with your own. someone who comes into your life and clicks into place like they had never not been a part of who you are. you recognize them through their outline, through the parts of themselves that are inverse of your own. you are, to each other, matching pieces of the same puzzle and you would know them anywhere.

weird how nothing about u is like, too small or too dumb to know bc it all comes together to become YOU. sending your friend a picture of your favorite snack is saying something important whether u realize it or not. wheres that palahniuk quote

serotoninsuggestion

an author i love just tweeted about how “big joy and small joy are the same” and how she was just as content the other night eating chocolate and cuddling her dog as she was on her Big Trip to new york and honestly. i think that’s it. this morning i was listening to an audiobook while baking shortbread in my joggers and i realised i really didn’t care what Big Things happened in my future as long as i could keep baking and reading at the weekend and maybe that is the kind of bar we have to set to guard ourselves against disappointment. just appreciate and cherish the mundane stuff and see everything else as a bonus.

serotoninsuggestion

found it - she was replying to this thread that starts “unpopular opinion: i don’t think your life has to have a purpose, or you a grand ambition; i think it’s okay to just wander through life finding interesting things until you die” and i for one think that’s fucking brilliant

“She remembered it was August and they say August brings bad luck. But September would arrive one day like an exit. And September was for some reason a lighter and more transparent month.”

— Clarice Lispector, from The Complete Stories; “In Search for a Dignity,” (via writemeanna)

“The world is big, and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.”

if there is anything to take away from this it is that life is ongoing, always ongoing, and whether you know it or not, it is filling up with little things that you are adding to it. tiny things, perhaps, but worthy things. important things. you learn a new recipe for making cinnamon rolls. that’s a worthy thing. you burn the minced garlic a dozen times before getting it right. that’s a worthy thing. you are a better friend this year than you were last year. that’s a worthy thing. you’ve found a new song that you’ve played to death on repeat but when you hear it 10 years from now it will bring a wash of emotion so powerful you will be brought right back and freeze and remember and marvel at all that has passed since then. that, too, is a worthy thing.

what you are made up of are these worthy things. they are not all Big Things done at a certain time, to a certain standard, not a checklist of Accomplishments that prove you can now be taken seriously as a human and that validate you being here. the burnt garlic is what validates you, the overplayed song, the new recipes, even the stretches of time in which it feels you have done nothing count to this, and even here it is not nothing – it is being. there are many ways of doing, not all of it holds a material result. being is one of them, the heavy and the light. and that more than anything, is the worthiest thing.
