megan the wanderer

goodness for the turn of summer into fall. this is best with the windows open, a glass of iced tea and maybe a candle ablaze.

thankful for... these beauties in my grandma's garden these shoes, for still kicking it after 6 years. brother, you make me so proud. those girls above... for sticking  tight no matter where the waves took us. for MUSIC... to make the grey  days brighter and the  lonely times comfortable  for this guy, for loving me even  when i am annoying.  knowing me better than i know myself local fair trade coffee.. nothing better baseball games... nostalgia in its finest! this girl... not matter how far apart or how long,  we always seem to pick everything  back up where we left things. the ability to capture moments,  the funds to keep my creative spirit alive.  my grandpa's eye for the moments and love for life this girl. for the best memories  of my young adult life. i can't even count how  many memories and photos i have of us.  i miss this. 

all I want is a car, a CD, a camera and a long road leading to somewhere, where i can shap-shot the scenes and piece them together in the album on my coffee table at home with a glass of tea and William Fitzsimmons in the background,  kneeling and placing the pieces of this journey, of this life together...  not alone, but comfortable. searching but confident thinking but not doubting, wondering but not knowing... with the boxes still packed, and the messages stacked high on the machine... just being

i have been slacking in the photo department. getting a little caught up in the moments and forgetting to capture them. I sat with a group of friends the other night, looking at the sunset. Grabbed my iPhone and was like " I HAVE TO GET A PIC OF THIS SUNSET." but i just could't quite capture the light the way it sat in the distance. and then i realized. just enjoy the moment Megan, just take it in and tuck it away and an amazing memory. one that you can pull out another day and laugh about. so i tucked my phone away, and just went back to living. Some moments are meant to be captured and shared. Some, just to be enjoyed. So friends, I challenge you... capture moments on film. But also, live them.
