my heart exults.
"we are always running for the thrill of it, thrill of it. always pushing up that hill searching for the thrill of it." _empire in the sun

my heart exults is a multimedia blog. an outlet of sorts for a twenty-something pittsburgh native who is currently residing in denver.






i surrender who i’ve been for who you are.
for nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart.
if i had only felt how it feels to be yours.
well, i would have known what i’ve been living for all along.
what i’ve been living for.

life don’t just always fold up neat,
sadness will come in different sheets.

…

we’re beat, beat, beat, asleep on feet.
goodnight, night, night let’s calm this fight

love the 80s vibe. 


Oh my God I see how everything is torn in the river deep 

And I don’t know why I go the way 

Down by the riverside.

denver gets about 300 days of sunshine a year.
pittsburgh, i’m afraid does not.
BUT, ironically i find myself missing some of those cloudy days. and on the few days we get them here in CO, i find myself with a big smile on my face.
it’s like a piece of home. <3 PGH.

You are the revelation, you are to get it right. But, it’s a conversation, I just can’t have tonight.” - no light, no light


florence + the machine new album, “ceremonials” = what you love about florence & more.
