end of march



Today is the last day of March, which means tomorrow is April and spring is just around the bend. And hopefully spring will bring new, exciting things! Even if it doesn't, it fills my heart with light and every day is just a little bit easier to get through. I will be happier.

This morning seems like a bad dream to me now.

in the sun, in the sun



Today I went into town, just to get out of the house for a while, and I spent a while sitting in a café, drinking tea and reading The Great Gatsby. Did a little bit of shopping too, I found this absolutely lovely straw hat with a lace ribbon! And I finally got a boyfriend blazer, I've been wanting one for years. I feel a little bit like an English school girl in these pictures, haha.

When I got home, my beloved floral rucksack had finally reached me! I got it on ebay, and it is perfect (despite being a little small). Happiness!

The weather was nice; really sunny, though very windy.

O, bright star.



Sometimes things are so beautiful it hurts.

My heart is heavy today and I want only the most beautiful, saddest things in this world.
A deep voice whispering the loveliest of poems, the soft clinking of a piano, butterflies fluttering their final wing-beats, never-ending letters, a man resting in the crown of a tree as if floating in the clouds, wild flowers and wide fields, the very purest of loves.

I dream of a love that even time will lie down and be still for.

Songs on repeat:
Daphne by Lia Ices (ft Justin Vernon)
Love Out Of Lust by Lykke Li
On The Nature of Daylight by Max Richter

Toská


....— Vladimir Nabokov

Stan är full av tanter och tragik



Today is the Spring Equinox and I said a little prayer; the sky is blue and the snow is melting and it's starting to feel just a little bit lighter.

I am wanting, longing. I want adventures, staying up all night telling secrets, running down the streets of Gothenburg, picnics in the park, Håkan Hellström, scraped knees and sunlight on my face. I miss having a best friend like her. Life was always good with her; everything was beautiful and nothing hurt. We had each other, we were like sisters, and I miss that closeness.

I miss having a life.

Den här gången kanske världen förstår oss..

(These are my ghosts, the spaces amid love.)



I'm in a terribly nostalgic, or maybe sad, mood today.
It's one of those grey days, somewhere between winter and spring, and all you want to do is curl up underneath the covers with someone and watch films all day, whisper secrets and snuggle. One of those days when all I want is someone that will make me laugh. I want to read but I feel restless and like none of the books I have would do. I must have twenty unread books, yet I always want more. It's a good sadness, compared to other days.

Maybe all I need is nutella and a film. It's worth a try.

I'm wide awake, it's morning


(Me in my room, on the new webcam)

So I got my laptop yesterday! I'm excited because now I can sit in bed and be on the computer at the same time; it's a whole new world for me. And I bought some skins for it, which should be coming next week or so, and then my laptop can be cute, too ^___^

Mostly I'm just on tumblr all the time.

As for other things, I finally have my bangs going on, and I got some cute clothes this week! I'm gonna try to take some more lookbook shots.. The weather's just been so boring, but hopefully spring is just around the bend.

Oh, and who saw the Oscars? Robert Downey Jr and Jude Law was, I felt, the high point of the evening; I wish they could host it some year! And I was really pleased with most winners, especially Natalie Portman for Black Swan, of course. Also, some of the red carpet dresses were just stunning! I particularly liked Hailee Steinfeld, she looked absolutely adorable.

Time for bed. x
