This is why we read, and why in moments of darkness we return to books: to find words and metaphors for what we already know.
Book is a refuge of someone who seeks words to express oneself when at times, we are lost of words.
"On the whole I concentrated on things and people...and observations on trees and plants, birds and insects. I was sure that when people saw my book they would say, 'It's even worse than I expected. Now one can really tell what she is like.' After all, it is written entirely for my own amusement, and I put things down exactly as they came to me..."

Hi, I have a undergraduate degree in political science and I want to be a nurse. Here, I write whatever I'm thinking about at the moment. I plan on reading these entries 5-10 years from now; at which point in time, I will probably laugh my butt off. Here, I also document things that inspire me, things that make me smile, pretty things, pretty places, places I'd rather be, and foods that I want to try, make or try to make; among other things.
