Nostalgia

I've recently gotten into Pinterest and Weheartit again. I swore to myself since I deleted my Tumblr, I wasn't going to fall for these things again. They are mindless addictions, a waste of time. But, since the school year is starting, maybe I need something to take my mind away from things. Some aesthetic pleasure, you might say. But after liking the pictures or pinning it on my board, I want to share them with the world. So I might just post all of my favorites in here every once in a while. So you get a sense of my taste in beauty, fashion, and life, in general :)

There is just something so magnificent and peaceful about red and purple skies. I've always been a fan of romantic sunsets. Something about it, so elegant, dreamy, like someone just took some paintbrushes and drew it across the sky. And the Eiffel tower? One day, I want to go to Paris, and explore the ancient city of Romance. Maybe I'm just a hopeless romantic.

Again, it's the colors that draw me to this picture. the pink purple gradient as the world transitions from dusk to night is absolutely breathtaking. And the water, the statue of liberty, all beautiful scenery that I enjoy. Pictures like these bring out the dreamer in me--bright hopes for the future: love, success, happiness, adventure. Of course, these pictures could be photoshopped, but if they were, they are a magnificent work of art.

Although we can't choose where we came from, we have the power to shape our own decisions. We can paint ourselves from a blank canvas and be whoever we want to be. The world is our oyster. We are infinite.

I just recently placed a hold on this book at the local library. I really want to read it before the movie comes out; it seems really deep. I'm always on the hunt for good reads; seems that lately all the novels I read are all the same-uninteresting. The only other good book I've read lately is Sisterhood Everlasting by Ann Brashares and it is incredibly captivating and flawlessly written. In my honest opinion, it is probably the best book out of the Sisterhood of Traveling Pants Series and it ends the adventures perfectly. Definitely recommend it to any of the ladies out there :)
