who are you: just one person. just allison. still in the makings, or at least the discoverings.
what are you doing: thinking too much, or maybe too little, about life and the people in it that make it important. also, lying in bed, getting ready to fall asleep and then wake up in three hours.
where are you going: the east coast, to escape and explore and adventure and hope.
recommend (something): telling the truth down to every last detail even stupid or embarrassing things that don't matter. (wow, that sounded cliche... but when you can look a person in the eyes and know you have never lied to them, it's a both liberating and frightening feeling.) also, writing letters. also, the book "extremely loud & incredibly close." there is another one, but i'm editing this for public publishing purposes.
what is your idea of a perfect day: i just don't really believe in perfect, but nowadays, i'd like to wake up next to bestfriends in a big ol' city like new york and prepare to play music together and eat delicious food (there is an empty plate of what used to be pad thai by my bed) and stay up late that night having real conversations.
what's your favorite quote:
i have lots. here are two:
"So, I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them." - from Perks
"When we first were friends you asked me what I believed in. I never answered. I believe in you. I believe in us."
- a text from a friend I got on the plane ride home in October
maybe you should fill this out.
