Puzzles were a childhood favorite. I learned a long time ago that when you forced pieces to fit together, at least one of them ended up fragile, torn, or completely broken.

Why is that simple fact so easily forgotten?

So, there's a free download on iTunes this week for a song called "July Flame" by Laura Veirs and it's pretty amazing.

In other news, I'll be purchasing a messenger bag shortly. Something I've wanted for quite some time. The best part is that an artist I've recently met on an art website will be personalizing it for me :)

"The best lyrics are the ones that give you goosebumps or make you cry in public or help you realize the answers." - Katy Perry

This is the point in the winter season where I start to feel a little too cooped up. I'm aching so badly to ride on the bike trails or wander around the parks of the city.

"I think I'll move to the country, somewhere you don't have to walk so far to be able to tell that the world is beautiful."

There was a point, recently, where I felt like the world was crashing down. But I have since forcefully taken control and things are slowly coming back together.

Life is, in some ways, like a puzzle...but if this were to be completely true, the puzzle pieces would have to be made out of some material that could easily be reformed. Many times, we fit with someone or something for only a short period of time and we then must be able to change and adapt so that we can fit somewhere else. But maybe that's why puzzle pieces have more than one side.

Anyway, I'll stop there. I have some homework I need to get done.

Take care.

Two things on my mind this week: honesty and freedom.

What do they mean to you and how might your views clash with the views of the masses?
