2013. Yep, it's already 2013. And I'm 33 freaking years old. When did this happen?


Emotions...
we learn to suppress
say what's expected
to pacify, to make at ease, to please

But it bubbles up
like a flash of fire

It spills over

It bursts open

It rushes out

little children

vulnerable...messages you learn

belief systems.

your value

chips away

time passes

layers form

you learn your role

Where did I go?

Dreams based on fleeting moments

What do you want? What do you want?

not letting go

There are some things we should never let go of, or stop doing. I know we're in the age of texting and emailing and seldom have real converations with other human beings..BUT..I'd like to hold on to a couple things. Here are 2:

1) Thank You cards: I never wrote thank you cards until my friend from the mid-west sent me one. She holds on to "old-school" etiquette and continues to write these. When I received one from her I really liked it and appreciated it far more than an email she could've easily sent- thank you, Ms. "old school etiquette".

2) Phone calls: Yes, these are rare and I hardly get these or make calls anymore either..BUT from time to time, I think we have to force ourselves to make-the-call...

OK, enough writing for the night. I'm off for an evening jog!

overrated?

I like getting older. One of the realities, however, is that you start seeing the truth behind these ideals and fairytales that were sold to you growing up- when you were most impressionable.

"We all convince ourselves of things like this- not necessarily about Say Anything, but about any fictionalized portrayals of romance that happen to hit us in the right place, at the right time.. This is why I will never be satisfied by a woman, and this why the kind of woman I tend to find attractive will never be satisfied by me.  We will both measure our relationship against the prospect of fake love.  Fake love is a powerful thing... (popular media) manufacturing fake love... it's a perfect illustration of why almost everyone I know is either overtly or covertly unhappy...Coldplay songs deliver an amorphous, irrefutable interpretation of how being in love is supposed to feel, and people find themselves wanting that feeling for real..they want men to adore them like Lloyd Dobler would, and they want women to think like Aimee Mann, and they expect all their arguments to sound like Sam Malone and Diane Chambers. They think everything will work out perfectly in the end...and they don't stop believing, because Journey's Steve Perry insists we should never do that....Real people are actively trying to live like fake people, so real people are no less fake..."  --Chuck Klosterman, "Sex, Drugs,  And Cocoa Puffs"

resonates...

moments in life that are fleeting but the impression stays w you...

small moments- encounters that may change your life...

small details that seem epic at the time, but can be a subtle thing..
