I have worn so many masks in my life that quite often,
I find myself forgetting who I really am.
Sometimes I feel life is a game and I play with myself and others.
More than anything, I long to collect all the pieces of my life
and put the puzzle back together again,
but I know it's impossible and
would make my life boring.
I possess a spectrum of personalities because my life has been
interrupted so many times that my experiences are never linear.
They are diverse and disconnected, and, well,
sometimes it makes me sad.
I have a mask for every occasion.
Rarely do I remove it and relax my face.

Today is the first day of spring!!!!
Here is a poem by Angela (who no doubt is one of my biggest inspirations)
I just thought it was so fitting for today and describes my mood perfectly.
I am ready for spring,
I am ready for tiny light dresses made out of chiffon.
I am ready for jean shorts and daisy chains in my hair.
I am ready to sit outside with bare feet with my friends.
I am ready for hot days and warm nights and sleeping with only the sheets on the bed.
I am ready for sunglasses and freckled noses.
I am ready for bare legs and swimsuit tops.
I am ready for sunshine and warm breeze.
I am ready for laying in tall grass and looking at the stars.
I am ready for midnight swims and gin and tonics at 3am.
I am ready for music and dust and camp outs.
I am ready for summer.
My current spring love affairs are with:
these white rimmed Ray Ban wayfarers seen on MK Olsen.
and
this dress from modcloth.com
What are YOUR spring wishes?

That dress looks very snow white. It's ok to be internet paranoid, i should be more paranoid i think. I always think the best of everybody, which isn't always that good... I just wanted to know if you study something interesting and so on, but what the hey, you're fantastic and that's all that matters! :)

Your words are so beautiful! The idea of experiences not being linear really spoke to me. I was disappointed that there weren't any pictures with masks, but I suppose that would be a little too literal :)
ah those are really your words? they're just lovely and i can see myself in them...
and i love the dress, it's indeed very snow whitish, as matilda said. As for my spring wishes, i'm lusting for a lovely flowery see by chloe dress but i'm on a tight budget so I'm only dreaming of wearing it.. haha!
xx
I love this photos!!! Are so romantic and beautiful.
A kisss
I love love love that MK outfit. It inspired me to put together something similar.
It's coming into Autumn over here, so i'm loving all things burnt orange, gold and creamy brown xox
I loved your Masks writing and your friend's poem. Beautiful pictures to highlight the beauty and soulfulness of the words.
Happy Spring to you, Micaela.
Ooh GOSH, such an amazing post again, dear Micaela! <3
The first part is beyond words....well, i can relate so much to everything you've described there! Almost scary... ;)
Gorgeous photography, as always!
And i am more than ready for Spring and Summer too, can't wait to feel the sun on my skin and have long evenings outside...

oh so lovely post. absolutely beautiful and inspiring. ditto on everything you said as well...
these photos so fit into your romantic daydreamer profile, lovely..
I adore the picture of the girl on the swing. These pictures are amazing! and your words are really beautiful. I went through a lot of your blog and all the picture are beautiful and so magical. It makes me feel as if I'm living in a magical world.
I love the photographs, especially the double-cherry blossoms towards the bottom, they remind me of home 'cause there is a big Japanese plum tree outside my childhood bedroom's window...
oh these are all so beautiful and perfect! they just made my friday. I love the sunnies.
hmmm spring wishes, lets see.
~ wayfarers too actually. i've been obsessed with them for several years and i should just splurge and get myself some red or white ones.
~ good weather. one day. maybe. please, baby jesus?
oh and by the way, i love that carly comando song, thanks for the tip. think will get the boy to play it so i can videotape it and put it on my blog. he does claim to be a genius pianist. heh. will keep you posted.
I am in love with this post! Spring time makes me swoon! Thanks for the tag! This is a real fun one. Posting it tomorrow morning!

Michaela, you wrote this post like a true poet. I am glad that you are starting to use some of your own words as well... I think it makes your blog even more beautiful and true than it already is. (Like always, sigh) I can relate to every word. That is what I love about this blogging world--that you can discover so many kindred spirits, it is such a wonderful feeling.
I am also ready for summer to come, all of those pictures and descriptions made me completely nostalgic for those warm sunny, carefree days...
Alright dear, I hope you are well, I have many spring wishes but I won't make this comment longer than it always is!
Au revoir,
Marisa
P.S. thank you for your comment, it is good to know that there are other wallflowers out there <3

oh you summed up all my spring wishes! dreamy...
dear micaela,
what you wrote about masks is so intriguing, and I feel like that too sometimes, like different people see me as a different girl and i wish i was just one girl and everyone loved me for that.
love erica mccall
p.s. i think you would like my most recent post, it reminds me of your blog
Oh my gosh - such a beautiful collection of photographs! Thankyou so much for sharing.
I am so jealous that you have just begun Spring!
Link done! I am very sorry I overlooked that. Another beautiful post from you - whenever I start reading your words I always think that they are from such fabulous famous poet, the insight and simplicity of your prose pleasantly surprises me every time! And the way you weave in gorgeous photographs... it's just unique. Love love love! And thank you so much for your praise of my tag! Like I said, I'm so glad you answered it. xx
I thought those words were from a book, and i'd decided to read it before i realised YOU wrote them.
My spring wishes:
1.a ruffled petticoat
2.apple blossom
3.bluebell skies.

Love the honesty and realness of your poem Masks...
we do see a little of you - between the lines - perhaps...
I loved that poem by Angela. It says everything that spring and summer is all about - and makes me long for it even more. You've chosen the pictures to go with it so well, too.
As for my spring wishes, well, I am hoping to come back to spring and not still winter when I go back to northern Norway... and other than that, I hope to acquire a few pretty playsuits.
Have a good start of the week, Michaela
Wow, as I was reading the masks lines, I thought that it was an amazing quote that must come from some amazing writer, and that it would become one of my favorite quotes. But now that I find that it was written by you, it makes it so much more real, I really loved it. And your description of summer sounds perfect. I wish for new dresses and someone special to share summer with.
OH! I forgot to say sorry about your name on my blog, I fixed it. =]
pictures are as lovely as usual...
Your poem was beautiful. I can relate so much. Thank you for sharing.
gorgeous poems .
+ photos , of course .
for spring, i hope for happiness and friends and popsicles and denim shorts and long hair and early mornings .
I'm always swept away by the gorgeousness of your blog *sigh* i feel as if I've been transported to somewhere springy :-)
just wondering, but what song plays on your blog? I'm a huge fan of piano soloists and this is BEAUTIFUL.
First day of Spring = LOVE!
Love all those photos! Especially the ones where the poem starts! My spring wishes...hmm...I don't actually know! I'd have to think about it, I guess :)
