What the Tide Brings In

I push everything away to see what floats back to me.

- A passionate love for the written word (reading)
-Appreciative of nature (walking, camping, playing in the water)
-Anxiety at disorganization (not hyper-organized, but not messy artist either)

Victorian manners/social behavior, introversion, listening, dreaming/thinking, quiet

I've emptied the bath and am waiting for something to fill it again.

Fill it with what?

A dark, brooding Victorian creature searching for light?

An athletic, fun-loving adventurer?

The quiet nerd who writes about those around her?

Wait and see.

  1. These lyrics are from one of my favorite albums, and I listened to it today and it really resonated with what I've been reading on your blog. Here's the song if you want to listen to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4_CI_ReLqM

    sitting in the rain alone
    looking at a place that’s gone
    boarded up my memories
    but something’s drawn me here again and i
    i cannot leave the past alone
    hoped that i would never find
    all the shit i left behind
    now i find the child in me is going to remind me that i
    i can’t forget my past for long

    so take a look outside yourself
    and tell me what you see
    i can’t believe
    that you won’t see the change in me

    give me strength to find the road that’s lost in me
    give me time to heal and build myself a dream
    give me eyes to see the world surrounding me
    give me strength to be only me

    i don’t want to hear the things
    you say you know all you’ve redeemed
    ‘cause i can’t change what’s come before
    build myself some better dreams
    and cast off the fear that holds me here

    so take a look outside yourself
    and tell me what you see
    i can’t believe
    that you won’t see the change in me

    give me strength to find the road that’s lost in me
    give me time to heal and build myself a dream
    give me eyes to see the world surrounding me
    give me strength to be only me
