Bio:I'm Erin.
I haven't updated this profile in a long long time.
I'm 26.
California girl in Iowa.
With pig and parrot.
I smoke a lot.
Old people are my thing.
Life overwhelms me. Often. People, and kindness, and beauty, and all things green can bring me to my knees. So can cruelty and disappointment. It all blends together in my brain and I wonder most of the time how long I can take it.
I hate having to shave my legs. But I do anyway.
I enjoy talking about poop. Entirely too much.
I just chopped off all my hair and can't stand it, so I dye it every other day a color of the rainbow.
Eye boogers gross me out worse than anything else.
I love to sleep.
And. I'm a gemini with a dead mom.
That about sums it up for now.












Accept that some days you are the pigeon and some days the
statue.




Don’t question why she needs to be so free
She’ll tell you it’s the only way to be
She just can’t be chained
To a life where nothing’s gained
And nothing’s lost
At such a cost

There’s no time to lose, I heard her say
Catch your dreams before they slip away
Dying all the time
Lose your dreams
And you will lose your mind.
Ain’t life unkind?



Walk into splintered sunlight
Inch your way through dead dreams
to another land
Maybe you're tired and broken
Your tongue is twisted
with words half spoken
and thoughts unclear
What do you want me to do
to do for you to see you through
A box of rain will ease the pain
and love will see you through




So I'm back...to the velvet underground....

to the floor that I love...



To a room

With some lace

and paper flowers....










So, okay. This is my new journal. I used to be [info]gypsygirl. See my first entry for details. I'm not hiding, I'm not trying to escape anyone...just thought I'd pull a fast one and get a new identity. If people wanna search for me, and find me, so be it. I'm stating right now, however, that this place will not always be chipper, it will not always be happy, and it will not always be positive....but it will always be truthful, it will always be sincere, and there will be run on sentences....often.

The end.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, creates a vision for tomorrow.

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take but by the
moments that take our breath away"


introverted

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.
Dorothy Parker
