L'esprit d'escalier
L'esprit d'escalier is the feeling one has after a conversation when they think of all the things they should have said...basically it's the story of my life. Actually the story of my life began sixteen years ago, and since then I've fallen in love with gay rights, literature, history, yoga, the rain, tragic endings, mythology, food (and lots of it), fashion, photography, and a boy named Thomas, whom I love beyond all these other things. To quote Stevie Niks, I am on the edge of seventeen, or if you're a Julie Andrews fan, I am sixteen going on seventeen! I'm a retired pessimist, and an amateur optimist. Basically when it comes to methods of thinking I tend to wish-wash between the glass being half full or half empty. Why can't it just be a glass of water? One of the best compliments I've been given is that I'm eclectic, and the other is that I have Blake Lively hair-I take pride in that one! My biggest criticism is that I'm over emotional, but the way I see it I'd rather be passionate than apathetic. I idolize hipsters and indie people, but sadly I'm not one of them. You know that saying "close but no cigar?" Well that's me when it comes to stereotypes. I don't really fit in a box of standards, I guess you can call me an indie poseur. I also have this adoration for other languages so...bonjour, je suis Olivia, mais je veux etre une Eliza. J'aimerais si tu aime ma tumblr. Ah well, rit toujours mes braves. I'm off to neverland my dears, perhaps I'll catch you there. Luv ya ladies et gents <3I just want to fly.
I'd love to grab coffee with Zelda Fitzgerald, Sylvia Plath, Severus Snape, Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe. Such a conversation that would be.
Here's to silver linings, and while we're at it let's have a toast for the douchebags.
