There are many things in life that will catch your eye, 
but only a few will catch your heart...

The Blue Hour


My favorite time of day,
sitting before the window in the kitchen, 
with a cup of coffee in my hand,
watching the transition from night to day.


The sky, a vivid blue,
a new day,
a new start,
a promise in the air...All I have to do, is grab the opportunity


I love the solitude
i'am perfectly happy <3

you know who you are and you know what you want".

Pinned Hearts displayed
Lovers labeled


in a collection 
like butterflies


Soulmates are rumored to be priceless
But as a single artifact they wait lifeless
untouched and beautifull
How much we long to complete ourselves
to place our heart with theirs on shelves
