It's really easy to assume everyone is a potential criminal. What happened to assuming that everyone was a good soul? That is one thing I don't like about the city, I feel I'm always looking over my shoulder. It's more than that though. I used to be such a forgiving person. I used to try and give everyone the benefit of the doubt, and understand their situation. It's not completely gone, but I've become extremely cautious. I'm not sure if it is a good thing; I suppose I just need to find the balance between keeping my guard up, and letting it down.

I just had a wonderful day.

oh baby baby how was i supposed to know

strong feelings of wanting to reinvent myself. strong desire to get hair done. and wear makeup even though i'm stuck in the house tonight. 

a kiss to build a dream on...

Give me a kiss to build a dream on,  And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss.  Sweetheart, I ask no more than this:  A kiss to build a dream on.  Give me a kiss before you leave me,  And my imagination will feed my hungry heart.  Leave me one thing before we part,  A kiss to build a dream on.  -louis armstrong
