i want to make you laugh, think & cry.
not necessarily in that order; in time.
my friend said i remind him of isabel allende here:

the simplest things make me happiest. hugs so tight your soul might slip out, absolute strangers being so effortlessly kind to one another, enlightening conversations, gingerbread men & christmas lights , driving without a car in sight, bright sunny days with a cool winter breeze grazing your cheek, reading a book and highlighting the lines that change your life, movies that tug at your heart and own existence, bringing a smile across the face of someone less fortunate, capturing exactly what you did (and didn't) intend to in that photograph, treating each moment like it's the last your worlds will ever collide, nights that turn into morning, songs that take you back, and all the finer things that generally go unnoticed.
get to know me. i'd like that.

Thank you for sharing this. I'm sorry to hear that about your sister. : / A very good friend of mine also took her life in 2004, so this is also very personal to me. I have always wanted to help in some way, now I can. Thanks Christine! :)
