Each person in your life is there for a reason, Hillary, and that reason always has something to do with love.

Like me,
The Universe

Brett and I went camping at Enchanted Rock this weekend. And I'm still processing the entire experience. We watched the sunset and the sunrise from the summit. It's so quiet there, you just listen to the wind and each other's breathing.

I love Austin but it hurt to come back to a busy, loud city. I want so badly to leave again.

Brett called tonight a date. And I didn't know if he was joking or serious.
So I laughed anyway.

"One day it will all be a distant memory, Hillary-Anne, yet I can tell you now, with the supreme confidence of someone who's gone ahead in time to know, that you'll look back on this life and be so flush with love and admiration for yourself, your journey, and who it made you, that you'll wonder, as I do now, how it could possibly have escaped you then."

Let's move to Seattle and live out the first season of Grey's Anatomy.
I'll date the married man who will later break my heart.
You can contract syphilis or fall in love with the sweet man who's dying.
We can be miserable and beautiful and feel fully alive.

You were like coming up for fresh air. It's like I was drowning and you saved me. It's all I know.

My dear friend Brett called last night and told me he and the other San Marcos boys would pick me up for Magnolia Cafe so I dropped Garrett off just before they picked me up. It ended up being me+Brett+Jordan+Rob+JasonBaker+Sarah+Ashley+Zane+so much foooooooooooood. We all shared queso, pancakes, breakfast tacos, pie and eggs. Mmmmmmmm gah I love Magnolia. We were all going to have a Slumber Party but some folks forgot to bring extra clothes so everyone but Brett carpooled home. Sad day. We both showered and went to bed right when we got home after suuuuuch a good long day. He shared my bedroom with me (Kimmie was gone for the weekend so she let him use her bed) and slept and slept and slept.

This morning I woke up to chocolate chip pancakes. That boy can stay over any time as far as I'm concerned!

And I can't breathe without you, but I have to

I'm watching Legends of the Fall and wondering why I ever agreed to continue going to college when places like this exist in the world.

My friend chose to cut ties.
It hurts.
But when you have so many beautiful friends in your life,
you don't have room for someone who says ugly things to you.

But in the end, he's someone I love and I won't pretend that he's not hurting the both of us when he's hurting his beauty.

I've just confronted a friend about his drinking. Take good care of ses amis, their beauty is your beauty.

My friend Jillian does the sweetest sketches.
If I ever throw my tea party, I'm asking her to do the invitations.

Looks like f-u-n
