emily, you're barely alive!

About Me

and one day we will die, and our ashes will fly from the aeroplane over the sea, but for now we are young, let us lay in the sun and count every beautiful thing we can see. "the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk,
mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn,
like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars
and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and
everybody goes 'awww!'"contact...1 aim- the yellow knot
