This place is paradise I'm sure
here's my reservation
I've gotten lost here once before
inside a good vibration.

My name is Lauren. I was born with my heart in Manhattan. I love shoes and funny people. I think too much.

So I write.

For the past two days, I have been tempted to tweet that lyric from the maroon 5 song “Even the sun sets in paradise”— Thinking of college and how it is ending.  How ironic, that when I started this blog, I used the Jack’s Mannequin lyric “This place is paradise I’m sure, here’s my reservation”- thinking at the time,  of how out of place I felt in college and hoping that one day I would feel as happy as everyone told me I would feel.  I took that reservation in paradise, and now that it’s over, I have that all -to -familiar aching feeling that I didn’t fully experience everything I could have in the time I was given.  There isn’t much to be said, except I am so thankful for the friends and the times I have had here and I hope that all of the scared high school seniors will remember to enjoy their time in college because it only happens once and at the end you will be blindsided by how quickly time flew.  These 4 years are a gift, that’s what my dad told me before I left for college- and he really was right.  These years are a gift. Don’t waste them. Fill them to the brink with every passion that sparks your interest.  It’s worth it.

I’ve posted this before in black and white. Thought it was from another time. Who knew?

If I could go back in time, I’d try harder to make each day lemonade. Because it was. I was just too stupid to realize what was in front of me.

I like flaws and feel more comfortable around people who have them. I myself am made entirely of flaws, stitched together with good intentions.

Don’t settle for someone who doesn’t give you things to say. Forever is a long time to make small talk.

Something inside you emerges….an innate, indwelling peace, stillness, aliveness. It is the unconditioned, who you are in your essence. It is what you had been looking for in the love object. It is yourself.
Eckhart Tolle
