"And then I felt sad because I realized that once people are broken in certain ways, they can't ever be fixed, and this is something nobody ever tells you when you are young and it never fails to surprise you as you grow older as you see the people in your life break one by one. You wonder when you turn is going to be, or if it's already happened."
~Douglas Coupland, Life After God
"I want to believe in it all again-in art, fate, and love. And I want to believe that I've made the right choice and that I'm on the right path and there's still time to fix the mistakes that I've made. And I guess I want hope."

Isn't it hard to believe that 2009 is now upon us? What are YOUR new year's resolutions? Post them in a comment and I'm sure I'll have lots of fun reading them. Now you're probably wondering what my resolutions are. I don't mean this to sound as if I don't have any spirit, but I don't believe in resolutions. I hope that doesn't make me sound totally self-absorbed.

Yes we do! I love your blog.. it's just the kind of thing I like to read in the morning to get my day started.
:)
This is beautiful.
A thousand sorries for mispelling your name, people often do it with my surname and it annoys me no end. So please forgive me, i should have checked. And the way your name is spelled is prettier than with a K.
Sorry sorry sorry.
And i tagged you, but i told you on the last post.

Mine is to stop fall in love with the wrong people. (Good luck to me).
I think it's great that you can't find anything you want to change about yourself. It's not to be self-absorbed to love yourself.

I play the Pride and Prejudice soundtrack on the piano as well! I love it so much.

Your blog is amazing! I LOVE it..
but just so you know, the quote that you have referenced anonymous is incorrect.
The one that says, "what lingered after them was not life, but the most trivial list of mundane facts..."
that quote was said by the narrator in the Virgin Suicides...
:)
awww.. what a beautiful blog it is. Shame that i didn't know it before. and NOw, i will definitely visit it more often :)
anyway,, My new yr resolution will be: Be happy/ eating more healthy/ spread love everywhere i go :)
What a masterpiece of a blog. Love the music too..oh so most fitting..but then these were things you probably knew already.
Have a lovely '09
such a beautiful post and blog.
what are your resolutions?
Those are some kick-ass violins you have pouring out of your blog. Actually, pardon my bluntness; they are not kick-ass, but rather mystifying. :)And these photos are lovely as well.
Also...
like i've said before. i ADORE your blog.. I'm going to link you to my blog list if that's OK?
i just created a new blog today..
http://expressiverebellion.blogspot.com
If you want to trade links, let me know!!
Your blog is fascinating.. I love it
i think my resolutions are vaguely:make something/do something creative everyday and be open to suggestions which will hopefully make me have more adventures
My first and most important new-years-resolution is to work out a fabulous amélie-like-plan to tell someone how much i want to get to know him better. And to show how this little world inside of my head works & how it can work together with reality. And then REALLY follow this plan and MAKE it work together with reality. : D
I thaught maybe i could stop smoking too, but i know i never will.
by the way, your blog is awesome. The pictures you chose are always cute & dreamy & especially in this post the quotes are awesome and so true, too.
keep it on! :)
I love the photographs you've chosen. And I'm a bit of a nerd, because I recognize the first quote. Its actually from "The Virgin Suicides", by Jeffrey Eugenides. It is from the end of the novel...very poignant.
