Procrastinator’s Neighborhood

really simple photo editing with fotokasten app.I'm so loving it

at times like this I look back and wonder, how did love make me go so far?

it surpasses boredom,loneliness and the occasional hunger pangs as I sit here and wait.

words,just like a blade could inflict pain to the depth the speaker wishes.

today I learnt that the pen is, indeed mightier than the sword.

a bleeding wound I could clean and dress with the right medications.

but this... I really don't know how

the smell of you left me breathless, and yearning for more

today just for a brief moment, I actually felt happy

no need to wake up early tomorrow and I will fall asleep comforted and safe in his arms.

after we left kentucky, we had a killer driving day. we drove through Indiana, Illinois and Iowa in one day. it took us about 13 hours to do. we ended up passing through a time zone which was kind of discombobulating on top of the long drive! we got a motel room that night and ate at this gross diner and fell exhausted into bed.

after saying good bye to will's dad in west virginia, we finally started our road trip into new territory! we camped in charleston, west virginia for one night but i forgot to take pictures (it was a very pretty - on top of this mountain, completed surrounded by trees but way too many noisy bugs!).

the next day, we drove through kentucky and stopped at the Natural Bridge State Park in Slade!
