honest arrogance as opposed to feigned humility
i hope when i'm older i have lots of quirks and i'm kind of crotchety but in a funny way. i want people to remember me for ridiculous things that make them smile to think about. i want people to remember me. i went and saw falling water today in pennsylvania. can i just say this is my dream house. i dont even like most of frank lloyd wright's work, i think he's way too over-hyped. but this house is perfect. its set in these gorgeous woods, which today were all yellow. and the house, instead of having a view of this amazing waterfall, is built at the top of the waterfall. in the living room there's a staircase that leads right down into the pool of water below. can you imagine that? instead of watching tv when you're bored, going and taking a dip in your own private pool at the top of your waterfall. the whole house is amazing to me. most of the house isnt even indoors, its terraces. but in an area like that, why would you want to be indoors? today made me so excited. it made me want to go hiking and explore and see breathtaking sights and have endless adventures. just being away from it all i guess makes me realize how small i am. and how unimportant most of the fears and jealousies and hurt and anger i carry with me really is. i mean, i stood in a room today that frida effing kahlo used to stay in. i want to feel small again. i want to wander through the woods, past trees that have been there long before i ever was and will be there long after i'm gone.
