i never had a blue-eyed one before; now all these...
Last year I thought things were beautiful because they were sad and heavy and I felt like a page out of Kundera’s unbearable lightness.
This year, I think things are beautiful, because they are happy and light and I feel like a page out of Seuss’s Oh the places you’ll go!
I was right!
Yesterday I very briefly chatted with a friend. I had known something about him, without asking, and without proof or evidence… and yesterday it was confirmed. It’s not important at all, but it made me feel good about my deduction skills.
I’ve said it before; we’re more transparent than we’d like to be.
I'm one of those gross people now.

clutter.
I’m having trouble knowing whether some things belong in the trash can or in my “memory box” - I’m the kind of person who places sentimental value in mundane, things, though thanks to Epictetus I’m learning not to give material objects much importance….Still there are certain items that are not just mundane. They are creations of people I have admired.
As a...

And now this.
Below this writ is another about stress…
I wrote and posted that to attenuate the personal nature of this one; this is basically as candid as I’ll get: I’ve been pretty anxious for about 2 or 3 days, complete with restless sleep, accelerated heart beat, and that unwelcome feeling of nausea and lack of appetite.
I can’t calm down, and I can’t stop thinking about...

Becoming Resilient..
A long, but hopefully easy to understand look at Stress Resilience
Historically stress research has focused on the detrimental effects of stress and the physiology of stress responses, however, until relatively recently, little attention has been paid to individuals who are resilient to stress. People who – like every human being in the world, encounter daily stressors as well as acute ones,...
good thing
about having 85 movies on my netflix instant queue is that i can ease the burden of picking a movie by simply selecting a number at random.
Picked number 40…. Apollo 13; a re-watch, but it’ll do.
[original plan to watch the last 5 episodes of homeland then summer heights high postponed due to having to wake up early christmas eve for disneyland adventure]

How I feel about things

a movie clip:
a quote:
❝ WITHOUT REALIZING IT, THE INDIVIDUAL COMPOSES HIS LIFE ACCORDING TO THE LAWS OF BEAUTY EVEN IN TIMES OF GREATEST DISTRESS. IT IS WRONG THEN, TO CHIDE THE NOVEL FOR BEING FASCINATED BY MYSTERIOUS COINCIDENCES, BUT IT IS RIGHT TO CHIDE MAN FOR BEING BLIND TO SUCH COINCIDENCES IN HIS DAILY LIFE. FOR HE THEREBY DEPRIVES HIS LIFE OF A...

Well, well, well…
Revisted the past to compare this year to last year… [through tumblr posts, at least]
examples of last year:
1. I was referring to not liking his friends
2. Falling out of love with someone.
3. Trying to see the positive in a negative situation
4. writing angsty short posts and realizing the truths of a crappy place
5. and songs like this
Now, this year

she's so glad, she's telling all the world.

NAMES
I’ve been changing my URL name (among other things) because I feel like having a tiny-but-noticeable change.
Let's have a chat
Me: Let's talk now
You: Let's talk a ll the time
Me: I like you. Like-like you.
You: I like-like you too.
Me: Most of what I talk about is about liking people, disliking people, liking the fact I don't like people. Liking the fact that I am liked the way I like to be liked.
You: You have always been concerned with these matters
Me: Since I was young.
You: What about us?
Me: It's not different; I'm concerned with these matters
You: But...
Me: I do.
You: I do too.
Me: I don't know how to put it in words, and there is no specific turning point. It's like a gradient
You: so it was always there
Me: To a degree
You: Why is it hard for you to tell me?
Me: Because I don't know all the words, and because I'm afraid of how small it can make me feel
You: You are small
Me: I show you instead
You: Let's eat icecream
Me: Let's always eat icecream
You: Let's always be new
Me: There is no other choice.

And here's what you should know.
enjoy life.
Alone.
These past few days have been magnificent, but also exhausting. I haven’t had my much-needed alone time, which began as only the necessary 1-time-per-week ordeal, and as I became an avid single lady, increased to at least 3 days a week of doing my own thing by myself.
I think that it’s hard for me to find a balance when things are new; I want to spend time with people and do things,...
