Lover of the Light

Mumford & Sons new music video for "Lover Of The Light" perfectly encompasses my idea of the velvet sunshine. To realize once again how blissful that light is, how happy and calm and peaceful it can be is what I visualize when I think that of that state of serenity. And I think Idris Elba did a wonderful job of showing that in video as the character and as a director. Out of the songs in Babel I always was drawn to this song but after connecting these two things it will always have a special place for me.

I think I've decided what I'm going to do this blog. Any moment where I can feel that same feeling as I did in that moment when I was a child, when the sun was wrapped around me, I will include on here. It could be about certain days or people, or even just thoughts. Today it's about my friends which I love so dearly. We recently went (besides Andrew) to Oceanside Pier and had lunch at Ruby's and took photos. The day was perfect and screams of warmth from the sun and form the heart !~~ how corny haha

This photo of me is kinda the what it's like when I think of the velvet sunshine.

The Velvet Sunshine

Is this a return to blogger??? I really don't know what will become of this. Let's just wait and find out. I'm hoping the start of a new summer will bring some change in my life and some motivation.

The velvet sunshine? I have this memory in my mind from when I was very young, before I was enrolled in school. I don't even know if it's just the manipulation of my mind or a real memory. However, I'm quite certain it's happened multiple times. Around 5 pm I would wait near our front door for my parents to come home from work and the light would shine through the door. I loved to twirl in dresses in that little hallway and that to me was bliss. I was carefree, with no worries, just waiting. I look back to that time and recall the perfect life. Just twirling around when the sun wrapped around me like velvet. That's how I'd like to describe it.
