Often times I’ve heard people quote life as being a “balance of holding on and letting go.” I’ve come to believe in this entirely. I anticipated to write something surrounding this quote for the past five weeks or so. I’ve always been a mindful girl. I think about longevity, I think about things in terms [...]

Lucky
Posted in Uncategorized on March 11, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I didn’t realize how lucky I am until I thought I had been cheated on.
Even on this frosty March night in my plaid pajamas with my cup of neo-citron placed near his book titled The Year of Living Biblically by A.J. Jacobs, I cannot help but giggle about it still. I remember not so long ago, [...]
Portobello

Portobello Road in west London, England.
Market in mid July.
Between Golborne Road and Westbourne Grove.
Give me Portobello
I shot the moon
And now feel the color blue
I said ‘ I love you’
I shot the moon.
Give me Portobello
So I can find my way to Notting Hill Gate
So I can escape your mode of ’deliberate’
I shot the moon
And now feel the [...]
Critic.

My recent, yet very frequent, conversations of “direction” have bothered me so very much I have adapted to concealing my feelings and thoughts of contrast.
There.
Dinner parties, telephone wire, introductions… it’s all about “direction” in life. What are you doing? What is he doing? I am exhausted of it and offended by it for I [...]

“The irony of commitment is that it’s deeply liberating – in work, in play, in love. The act frees you from the tyranny of your internal critic, from the fear that likes to dress itself up and parade around as rational hesitation. To commit is to remove your head as the barrier to your life.”
When [...]

“Maybe I’ll just write about it”. Sarah stared at me blankly (I thought) after I had said this. To this “blankness” I urged “what?” She confidently answered; “you’re growing” and gave me a smile before furiously jotting down notes for her essay due tomorrow, a masterpiece, no doubt.
We are still here in the coffee shoppe; [...]

I had heard it before but I never knew it ’til then; one overcast day with chance of showers, the lyrics unexpectedly crept. It was one of those awkward days where your mind is continuously jogged by the infamous “to do” list and you like it so because you’re not sure what you’d with yourself [...]

” No, mom. We will get your dentures on Tuesday”.
I heard this about four times within fifteen minutes as I sat outside of Sunterra’s ‘Second Cup’. I couldn’t progress past the 23rd page of a Nicholas Sparks novel. The reality in front of me was something Sparks himself would or could write in the autumn colors of the Northern Carolina [...]

My new room is wine-red. The rest of the house is painted in pale, neutral colors. The dining room is a light purple and the “library” a honey yellow. With the exception of the library, my room is perhaps the most outgoing, in color. The last I ever sat at my type writer was in [...]

The irreplaceable.
I have not written in what has surely been weeks and I wonder, now, of all things, about the irreplaceable. The irreplaceable has occupied my mind for weeks. Perhaps this is the reason why I have not attempted to write my thoughts or describe them, (even if only to myself) that is, I have [...]
