bits + pieces

every now and then, I just accumulate so many good things in my brain that I need to spill them out somewhere. so this is that spill. enjoy.

Because all you can do is give yourself away. Give yourself away with shaky hands and bravery that rocks you when you look back and realize that you did it. You could do the hard thing. You could have the hard conversations. You could love the people that were hard to love. You could be alone and be far better at it than you’d expected. You could say yes or, even harder oftentimes, you could say no. You could try.
this piece from Liz Franklin is exquisite. do yourself a favor and go read the whole post. it is all the praise hands emojis.

this Sam Smith + John Legend collab is super brilliant. two great voices combined is like buttah, i tell you.

hey you guys, this weekend I watched the entire third season of House of Cards. Friday night, I worked really hard to finish my midterm portfolio, and then Saturday i did absolutely nothing except devour the newest season. (I also devoured some cinnasnacks from sonic, but that's a different story.)

my life has been wildly busy lately, with lots and lots of late nights working, and this remix is better than any red bull in terms of keeping me awake. between the hours of 1-3 AM, there's a good chance this song is on repeat.
