Dear friend,

I don't know why I've been in such an apathetic and disconcerning state lately.
There's this feeling in my body that has made me relentlesly tired.
But to be honest, I don't want to lose it.
It's one of those beautiful feelings you just want to contain in your body forever. It keeps you warm, sane and calm. When you're bored you think about it and it leads you into a dream, where theres no worries, no curses, and theres soft tingly music playing in the air. You smile everytime you feel it in your stomach and you want to preserve it.
This feeling is like the birds you hear when your walking home from a bus stop
or the laughter of a two year old when you tickle her,
the smile of a girl after her first kiss,
staying under the covers while its raining outside,
the smell of fresh coffee beans being ground,
and the loudness and warmth of large family gatherings.

Jack: "You girls seem to think the world is fully of rainbows and happiness. We can't always dance around tangerine trees and listen to Angus & Julia Stone."
and THAT is why I love Jack. He would make such a canny teenage girl, really.

Sometimes all I want is solitude in the loud overbooming sounds of rain and shrieks and chatter of conversation of teenage males and females; "If the silence takes you then I hope it takes me too. Melody softly soaring through my atmosphere."

-Annie
