The Best Things in Life Are Free

So they say you cannot buy happiness. They say you cannot buy love. I say, is that really the point? Some things you love you can buy, some things you buy you happen to love. & what's buying have to do with anything when most things you love you love for the memories anyways. Sometimes it's the giver that makes the object worth more than you can even say out loud, other times it's the stories around it. The prettiest things in life are free, or so the happy people keep telling me. & they're right, but what most of the pretentious idiots don't realize is that that category - naturally - includes gifts.

You know, my birthday happens to be coming up.

Alright, not the point. What I'm trying to say is; Give me a handwritten letter, a photograph, give me a plastic engagement ring or a piece of gum. But in this uncertain world, in this time of our lives when dreams are leading us all in different directions, I'd love to have something to remember you by. There's been good times. There's been bad. & there's been an incredible amount of love.

Let's be thankful for the great moments so far. Time's one crazy bastard, isn't it? I mean, there's so much of it, yet every year the world seem to spin a little faster. Let's hope what's to come will kick past's ass. Remember what that guy with the hat & the cane & the black & white suit said?

- 'I guess what I'm saying is, we gotta look for the signs. But gotta follow 'em too when we find 'em.'

The prettiest things in life are free, or they are to me anyways.

Oh, & if you run out of ideas, here's a few things to die for:

Nothing says love like pretty caffein.

The most beautiful bag in the world is from Anthropologie.

I do hope he comes with a guitar.

When I grow up I'm gonna be a gangster.

Or a bare-feeted street musician.

Adorable.

Amazing jewlery from Urban Outfitters.

Of all the ways of avoiding disaster, striding away in a great pair of boots is definitely my favorite.

I am.

Peace, love & branding.
