young, broke and beautiful RSS

my name is daniela and i'm from the best city in the world, though nine months out of the year i live here. i like non-awkward hugs, hanes white v-necks, american apparel, and making people laugh. i'm surprisingly funny too. you'd like me.

some of my favorite things include reading, listening to music, taking pictures and getting emails figuring out exactly what I did last weekend.

Because contrary to what the cynics say, distance is not for the fearful; it’s for the bold. It’s for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It’s for those who know a good thing when they see it, even if they don’t see it nearly enough. Yes, the long-distance relationship may be doomed. You can’t go on that way forever. But as long as you do, you’ll embody the twin virtues of independence and imagination. As you fall asleep alone, you’ll conjure the scent of your lover’s neck, the timbre of a voice over fiber optics, the ecstasy of seeing his face at the front door, which, thanks to him, is your favorite place in the whole house.
— Meghan Daum’s collection of essays, My Misspent Youth. (via justniq, timirose)

It’s funny how you can go from believing this is true to remembering how it really felt.
