In need of help
I’ve been coming across a lot of older stuff—awards from elementary and middle school, letters from middle school and high school, old loose-leaf journal entries and poems, stuff from ex-boyfriends, etc. My question is:  What do you guys do with that sort of stuff?  Do you throw it away?  Do you keep it?  Do you bask in the memory and then hoard it away only to resurface until the...

[Excerpt from “Changes”] I was asking my desk-partner at work, Kim about her husband. She was always talking bad about her husband-how bad he treats her and how unromantic he is. The romance just fizzled out of their relationship. She’s been with him for 5 1/2 years, they have a 4 year old daughter together, and she’s only 20 years old. From what she’s told me about him, he’s a...

today i can write the saddest lines (pablo neruda)
vivalavieboheme: I can write the saddest poem of all tonight.  Write, for instance: “The night is full of stars, and the stars, blue, shiver in the distance.”  The night wind whirls in the sky and sings.  I can write the saddest poem of all tonight. I loved her, and sometimes she loved me too.  On nights like this, I held her in my arms. I kissed her so many times under the infinite sky.  She...

[excerpt from “Dreaming of my Dad”] I’ve been feeling so tense lately. I haven’t been able to sleep much, at all. I would sleep for 4 hours, shoot up out of my bed, only to not be able to fall asleep until the last 15 minutes before I have to get ready to go to work. Trying to take naps is annoying. I lay there for what seems to be forever. 15 minutes in, I catch myself almost...

Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night
Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the...

A recent conversation with my friend E reminded me of this post: [excerpt] So he dropped me off at my apartment. I told him, “We need to hang out more. You need to email me or call me. And I’ll do the same. Cos this was fun, and I want to continue to do this again.” As I shut the door and I was telling him “Take care” I thought I heard him say, “I love you,...

Tumblarity
I’ve been refraining from saying this for the last few months, but in the midst of the new “Tumblarity” meter release, which shows you how popular you are in comparison to the gazillion other Tumblrs out there, I couldn’t help but say something about it. I’ve noticed that Tumblr has become more and more about popularity and how many followers you have.  Yeah, I get...

silent
i realized i’ve been increasingly silent the last few months, save for the occasional sappy love song directed toward my awesome boyfriend. although i’m sure i could certainly come up with stuff to post or reblog, i’ve grown increasingly inward (or so it feels), quite fond of “liking” a lot of things, and don’t feel like cluttering up my (and other...
