thanks Madge (:

I've been listening to Jump by Madonna on repeat because it's helping me with my anxiety with packing and leaving this cosy little room that I wish I had more time in.
I really connected with this song when I watched the Ugly Betty episode that uses only Madonna songs. It's played at the end when Betty has to make some major life decisions.

This is possibly one of my favourite Madonna songs of all time.
"There's only so much you can learn in one place. The longer you wait, the more time that you waste."

Also the video is cool cos it has parkour (:

if you can watch me from above, I hope I'm making you proud


The Journey by Mary Oliver

One day you finally knew
what you had to do, and began,
though the voices around you
kept shouting
their bad advice --
though the whole house
began to tremble
and you felt the old tug
at your ankles.
"Mend my life!"
each voice cried.
But you didn't stop.
You knew what you had to do,
though the wind pried
with its stiff fingers
at the very foundations,
though their melancholy
was terrible.
It was already late
enough, and a wild night,
and the road full of fallen
branches and stones.
But little by little,
as you left their voices behind,
the stars began to burn
through the sheets of clouds,
and there was a new voice
which you slowly
recognized as your own,
that kept you company
as you strode deeper and deeper
into the world,
determined to do
the only thing you could do --
determined to save
the only life you could save.
