yearning for more
This great longing for so cal came over me while watching the OC earlier tonight. No, I definitely do NOT long to be in the OC, that’s for sure… But the palm trees, the Spanish style houses and the beach on the show all reminded me of home (LA that is), how much I love it and how I want to live there until I “file off this mortal coil” (as Gregor likes to put it). I miss the warm summer nights, the crickets and the faint but ever present sound of sirens in the distance…
Living alone is an interesting thing. Technically I don’t live alone but seeing as Sonja and I have our own bedrooms and bathrooms, it often feels that way. We both agree that our apartment is really two studios sharing a kitchen. I cherish my own privacy and space. I don’t understand why loneliness has such a negative connotation. Solitude is sometimes so beautiful. On the flip side, there are times I find myself yearning for the loving warmth of a companion during the cold cold night.
Quote of the day:
“For attractive lips, speak words of kindness. For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry. For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.”
-Audrey Hepburn
