folding the corners // summer twenty-thirteen recap

Some things don't last forever, but some things do 
like a good song, or a good book or a good memory you can take out 
and unfold in your darkest of times, pressing out the corners and 
peering in close, hoping you still recognize the person you see there. // unknown //

  1. oh, darlin'. this is so incredibly beautiful, i'm speechless. (and that last paragraph? written by you, i assume, due to the little g.s. at the end. ;) it's just perfect. i thought it was from a book.) i cannot believe that summer is over already. i miss it, but i'm still cherishing the memories and experiences i gleaned from it. i guess it's good we move on from season to season, although our hearts still cling to the past. change is a part of life, and the changing of seasons is included in that. :)

    anyway, my, i'm rambling. but this is simply lovely, dear. let's chat soon, m'kay?

    love you bunches! xx

  8. Oh Grace. These pictures make my heart ache. And those beautiful words of yours- so, so perfect. They are sheer brilliance. I'm going to write them on my hands and fingers and everywhere so I can memorize them.

    I love you so much, dear friend. You are so wonderful and it is so visible in all that you do.
