I've been in Portland for about a week now. I am loving it. Granted, I haven't seen very much of it yet, still settling in, but I love the new apartment, the animals are settling in wonderfully. I also love the hills and trees and raindrop bedazzled leaves and the magical fog and mist. It makes me feel creative, it makes me feel wild.
Everyone is all, oh people only began to see UFOs because they became popular in sci-fi. Nobody thinks, maybe people just are a lot more open about their encounters or what they see because it has become popular. People feel more comfortable talking about it. Whereas, beforehand it probably would have been seen as ridiculous and a lot of people were probably thought mad and put away or given drugs or what have you. Point is, absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence. I know that also works the other way around, but its the idea of leaving your mind open to the possibility.

I'm visiting home for the first time since I moved away. I am looking forward to it and also don't feel really ready yet. My mom wouldn't have me not coming home for some sort of holiday celebration with the family. I wish Astro, my boyfriend, could come. It'll be good to go home solo, I think. And better that it be now... I'm going to really enjoy it. There is a first and a last for everything. All moments are so bittersweet. Here and fleeting. You have to make the most of it and remember every laugh and smell and look across the table. Things that we see now and take for granted might suddenly become important to you later on, and you'll wish you could remember and hope you never forget.

I wish the quality was a little bit better on this. But I like that it's actually them performing.
how about another:

So many umbrellas. Seriously impressive.

PS: my cell phone has been dropped several tiimes and the screen is so smashed, I can't see the darn thing. I plan to be getting a new phone in the coming couple of weeks. From whence I will start updating my instagram again.
