LOOKING FOR ASTRONAUTS: Common Cold of the Soul 
To sinful patterns of behavior that never get confronted and changed.
Abilities and gifts that never get cultivated and deployed-
Until weeks become months
And months turn into years,
And one day you’re looking back on a life of deep intimate, gut-wrenchingly
honest conversations you never had;
…
You’ll meet her, she’s very pretty, even though sometimes she’s sad for many days at a time. You’ll see, when she smiles, you’ll love her.
—Pan’s Labyrinth
Sitting up all night would be pointless if somebody you loved wasn’t sitting up with you, picking out music to play and helping you kill the bourbon. Walking by yourself in the rain is for college kids who think loneliness makes poets.

This is a song, right? Well it doesn’t matter because just by reading the lyrics, it makes me want to cry. :(
This is my favorite funny fact ever. Haha. Call me corny. I just find it really funny. This is the only joke I ever tell my friends.
But Love Is Not A Victory March
That’s a line from one of the most lyrically beautiful songs I’ve ever heard, Hallelujah, which was written by Leonard Cohen. The first time I heard it was when I watched The OC’s Season 1 final episode, where all the characters turned out to be so freaking depressed and the song just had to be played in the background, resulting to my first ever emotional depression due to a TV show.
In my opinion, the late Jeff Buckley’s version of Hallelujah is the most poignant and most beautiful of all the covers I’ve ever heard, even understating the original. Yes, even Leonard Cohen approves of it as the best cover.
Anyway, I fell more in love with the song when I read the article which I linked in this post. I love how Leonard Cohen originally wrote a rough 80 verses and it took him two years to finish it! That’s a lot of history for a song, if you ask me.
I cried reading the article. I don’t know, maybe because I just really love Hallelujah and I knew there was always something deeper about it, and when I found out it had a difficult history, I felt complete.
Meet my younger cousins Gillian and Kaylene, or just Blair and Serena. Whatever works.
I am dying to watch this movie.
It has Leo + Joseph Gordon-Levitt + Ellen Page and other pretty good actors.
And there’s something about Leo that makes me trust his movies. Always something.

I heard this beautiful song at Starbucks a few days ago and fell in love with it.
