This is my favorite song right now. 

For Mykel, the only person who has slowdanced with me in the middle of a parking garage. I love you for always. 

“Enough For Always” by Kate Voegele 

You dry my eyes with your long sleeve
Your sweatshirt’s way too big on me
But it’s perfect, mm mm

You hate my taste in DVDs 
When I let you drive the red GT
I get nervous, yeah-h-h 

Laying in your arms is like the first snow
Delicate, yet takes my breath away, oh
Say you’re forever and say that your heart’s gonna stay
Yeah-h-h-h 

But you’re stubborn and I’m worse you know
Your smile is like that country road in Virginia, mm mm

And you know you never let me win
In Nintendo and that’s bullshit 
In my opinion, yeah-h-h

But you can spin my bad days into pure gold
With just a touch of your hand on my waist, hey
Say you’re forever and say that your heart’s gonna stay
Yeah-h-h-h

Cause you-oo-oo-oo you’re who I lo-ove
And ooo-ooo-ooo this is enough for always

You asked to dance and I got shy
You said, “Honey there’s no time
For excuses”, mm mm

Barefoot on Hermosa Beach
We just let the ocean breeze
Be the music, yeah-h-h

Cause you’re the only thing worth coming home to
And it’s how I want to end all of my day-y-ys
Say you’re forever and say that your heart’s gonna stay
Yeah-h-h-h-h

Cause you-oo-oo you’re who I lo-ove
And ooo-ooo-ooo this is enough for always

You’re the reason this singing heart is beating
Love, it’s easy now 
Summer evenings, oh, keep me like a secret
I won’t let you down

You’re the reason this singing heart is beating
(Cause you-oo-oo you’re who I lo-ove)
Love, it’s easy now

Summer evenings, oh, keep me like a secret
(And ooo-ooo-ooo this is enough for always)
I won’t let you down

I told myself that for my new year’s resolution, I’d make goals. I’d give myself something to work toward because in striving and accomplishing, I learn about myself. That’s the other part of my new year’s resolution. I am aiming to discover and learn and in doing so, I hope to piece together exactly who I am. I feel like it’s just beneath the surface and I’ve almost found it. Isn’t it funny how in doing something else you discover yourself but in striving to discover yourself, your attempts are fruitless? It’s similar to the paradox of hedonism. I’ve always said that all I want from life is to be happy. I’ve learned that in doing things I enjoy, expanding my horizons, and opening myself up to new experiences, I am happiest. This might seem like an obvious realization but it’s more difficult than it appears. I might sound like every other college student or anyone else my own age but I believe that every viewpoint is unique although they are often similar. The sum total of experiences is different for every single person. I’m still looking for the pictures to complete my collage.
