I never kept up with the fashions. I believed in wearing what I thought looked good on me.

someday, when i’m in your car, riding on the wrong side of the road, i’ll have my feet on your dashboard. i’ll bring along my ukelele, and i’ll serenade you with a silly song about dinosaurs and the rain. we’ll stop in the middle of nowhere to take pictures of the sky, and we’ll have to make sure to bring along some sweet tea and cake, so we can have a picnic in the rolling plains of indiana. i’ll take study your face as we lay in the grass, memorize your smell and time my breathing with yours, just in case i forget when we’re two oceans apart again.
until then, i’ll go to sleep every night, knowing i’m one day closer to being with you.
Among other things, you’ll find that you’re not the first person who was ever confused and frightened and even sickened by human behavior. You’re by no means alone on that score, you’ll be excited and stimulated to know. Many, many men have been just as troubled morally and spiritually as you are right now. Happily, some of them kept records of their troubles. You’ll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, if you have something to offer, someone will learn something from you. It’s a beautiful reciprocal arrangement. And it isn’t education. It’s history. It’s poetry.

The Beatles: Strawberry Fields Forever - Take 1
this is the very first time the full band recorded the song. it’s rough and raw, but at the same time, lovely to listen to.
God bless The Notebook. It introduced me to one of the great loves of my life. But people do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie. Rachel and my love story is a hell of a lot more romantic than that.

If you are going to fall in love with me, it’s only fair that you know what you are falling in love with.
You are falling in love with my insecurities, and my obsession with trying to figure out what everyone thinks of me. You are falling in love with my immaturity, my constant need to feel loved and appreciated, my overactive tear ducts, my internet obsession, my tendency to be too clingy. You fall in love with my troubled past, and my hopes and dreams, and how I’m a hopeless romantic at heart. If you fall in love with me, you fall in love with my self-hate and all my imperfections and my perception that nobody could ever love me.
But, you are also falling in love with the way my eyes will smile when I’m with you, the way I’ll text you in the mornings just telling you I hope you have a great day. You’re falling in love with the occasionally humorous and/or thought-provoking things I say, and the way I blush when people ask me about you. But to me, the most important thing will be that you are falling in love with me, despite my thinking that it is impossible.
