only the one that hurts you
can make you feel better
only the one that inflicts pain
can take it away

there's always
a new day

somewhere.

if our mom would have a song for us, for me, i think that this would be it.


although we don't talk that much, listening to this helps me feel like
she's telling me everything she ever wanted to tell me.


and vice versa.


happy mother's day mommy.


even if i don't say it,
you are and you will always be
the most beautiful woman in the world to me.

i will lay down my heart,
and i'll feel the power
but you won't,
no you won't.

and i can't make you love me

if you don't.

the big 3-0

so i turned 30 today.


i have long been fearing this day.
but as it turns out, it's not that bad after all.


with just a few more hours left,
i think i'm going to survive this day
contrary to what i thought.


if today is going to be an indication
of how life in my 30's is going to be
then i think i'm going to survive
another 30 years of my life.


so bring it!
