Let's Get Lost

"I no longer believe that we can keep silent. We never really do, mind you. In one way or another we articulate what has happened to us through the kind of people we become." — Azar Nafisi (Things I've Been Silent About)

If you overstimulate your pleasure system, the threshhold starts to build, and eventually it get’s so high, that it actually hijacks the system, so that only very very strong stimulants of dopamine will give you pleasure. And at that point, it’s become addiction. That’s what an addiction is. Addiction is hijacked pleasure center, where only this substance or behaviour is capable of getting over the wall or threshhold and giving you some pleasure.

I CAN’T WAIT!!!

The official release copy of Born and Raised (just opened) next to the track list on my refrigerator since 5/11. Keep working for that final product. You will get there.
Edited to add: The song ‘Helpless” isn’t a cover of the classic CSNY song… it was a tune I wrote that I really like but something about it didn’t match the DNA of the album. Same with “Living Proof.”

people change, i know. but really i need to understand why. because the lack of faith in myself is making me overthink it.

The Guerrero grand reunion. And these are just snippets of it. It doesn’t even do justice to the happiness and love that time. 

It’s rewarding to create something significant out of your hobby. Videos aren’t just videos. They are flashes of memory not to be forgotten.

I say i could be a really REALLY insecure girlfriend at times. But hey, this guy is saying that is just respect for myself. I guess there is a healthy level of insecurity and that’s the opposite of being too cocky (wadyawantmoreanyway?). 
Or maybe I’m just a girl. Analyzing the thing that is screwing me up IS screwing me up.
Come on, live it up.
KNOW YOUR WORTH, WOMAN!

There is a psychological theory that says that time appears to move faster as we age because life is all about ratios. One year to a four year old may make up a quarter of her life, but a year to a middle-aged mother is but a 40th of the life she’s lived overall. Moments become more and more fleeting. You can’t stop time from lurching forward and you grow older and realize that your mind is just as foreign to you as anything else, but maybe that strangeness is something to embrace.
