Go Out And Make It Better

via Mattias Swenson

What is on your mind when you look at this? For me right now, it's almost everything! Life! However, I bet that like Yoga, the hardest things to accomplish simply take time, talent, and genetics. And when those hardest of all things are accomplished, you make them look easy to everyone else. Everyone may think you took a straight line to get there, but really, you went in every which direction and killed for it! You may have even funked it up somewhere along the way! Don't fret dear one. You'll know better next time.

"Remember to let _______ into your heart and you begin to make it better."

A Threadsence Wet Dream

A vision of California and a hippie flower child always makes me feel I'm on the wrong coast. Leaving out the leopard, I would totally be set with the leather and fringe. Not to mention the long grandpa sweater and hats, they look super snug-as-a-bug for these coming freezing-my-ass-off nights.
