Grow Old With Me

"If my muscles hurt, it just means I've used them. If it hurts to walk up the stairs, it's just cause I've done it a hundred times to lay down next to a man who loved me. My face may have wrinkles, but I have laid under hundreds of skies on sunny days. I look like this, well, because I drank and I smoked and I lived and I loved and I screwed my way through a pretty damn good life. Getting old isn't bad. It's earned."

Bartender in The Guardian

*I still need to see the last fifteen minutes of this movie. I hear they are crucial, and I was a big fan of what I'd seen so far. Ashton, do me a favor and marry me tomorrow.

"Picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor. Reachin for the phone cause I can't fight it anymore. And I wonder if I ever crossed your mind; for me it happens all the time... It's a quarter after one, I'm all alone and I need you now. Said I wouldn't call but I lost all control and I need you now. And I don't know how I can do without, I just need you now."

Lady Antebellum, Need You Now

{Style Me Pretty: Obsessions for Brides}

translation

Obsessions for Me.

This wedding is ironically and perfectly titled "Vintage Wedding: Shabby Chic." Can there be a more perfect set of words to describe everything that

I love in asthetics? I love the colors, the flowers, and the retro-esk feel to the beautiful bride's look. I love this.

"I don't know what I want, so don't ask me, cause I'm still trying to figure it out. Don't know what's down this road, I'm just walking. Trying to see through this rain coming down. Even though im not the only one that feels the way I do. I'm alone, on my own, and that's all I know. I'll be strong, I'll be wrong, oh, but life goes on."

Taylor Swift, Place In This World

"I'd like to make myself believe that planet Earth turns slowly. It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep, cause everything is never as it seems... when I fall asleep."
