your wish.

"make a wish and place it in your heart.

 anything you want, everything you want.

 do you have it?

 good.

now believe it can come true.

you never know where the next miracle is gonna come from,

 the next smile, the next wish come true.

 but if you believe that it's right around the corner,

 and you open your heart and mind to the possibility of it,

 to the certainty of it,

 you just might get the thing you're wishing for.

 the world is full of magic. you just have to believe in it.

so make your wish.

do you have it?

 good.

 now believe in it with all your heart."

this quote from one tree hill just gets me. everytime i read it. 

just a thought.

sometimes i think about all the little things that make me who i am. the moments. the words. the people. the memories. the chills. the dreams. the things that touch your soul in indescribable ways.

 and i wonder if right here...right now... if this was the path that was set out for me far before any of it.

 if i'm supposed to be right here. right now. and all those amazing little instances are just part of something so much bigger, bigger than i know. bigger than i am.

and then after nine busy-bee hours...

she decided to take a serene stroll through the park. and it was just what she needed.

 

{bryant park, nyc.}

and just like that... it's spring.

amidst all the homework, subway rides (i think i spend more time down there than above ground), and shut-eye when this chaotic schedule allows it, the trees starting budding little baby flowers...and the sky turned this beautiful shade of blue...and the air decided to smell almost sweet if you can get past the ever-present nyc street corner stink. all of this could mean only one thing... spring is coming.

well heck, it's here.

and this spring, it's a special one. twin and i graduate college in nearly a month, and with that comes a new, very exciting chapter in our lives. after five years of college, i'm beyond ready to take that part of my time and brain that school has stolen, and focus it on starting/doing/building the things i've always wished i had the time to. this list goes on for miles, but it starts with yoga, going to sleep at a decent time, learning how to cook (it's about time), reading one book a month, crafting with twin and our roommate, and ends with much, MUCH needed devotion to this little, very dear corner of my heart. this blog. 

above all else, i'm elated with the thought of finally giving this space the attention it deserves. i have so many ideas that make my heart beat out of my chest when i even think of them, and i want this little blog to go back to a daily escape and outlet for me, the way it was when i was living in italy. doing this...writing, sharing photos and moments and memories that i hold close to me... it's my favorite thing to do. really.

thank you endlessly for stopping by and for leaving sweet comments. i can't express how happy it makes me. 

and here i go... back to the ol' grind. but i'll be back soon. i promise. 

xo, meg.
