In the past seven days...
I have seen the end of one earthly life. I have seen my friends celebrate the entry of their child into the world.
Celebrated the anniversary of my entry into the world.
Been part of a celebration of the union of a friend that I have known for over half of my life, and the man she is committing herself to for the rest of hers.

– Voltaire (via philosophy-quotes)
I tore that dress when I leaped over the fence around the playground. Street lights gleaming, night surrounding; feeling as though, even though I was partaking in such innocence—using the swingset, that I was somehow being far more dangerous.
