i am hardcore.
hmmm. life. yes. interesting.
random thoughts of the day:
- sometimes i laugh at really inopportune times but i find humor in things that weren't supposed to be funny. i'm sorry. it's just part of who i am.
- open the window. we have to get out.
- knowing you're not alone kind of rocks.
- feeling understood and respected is one of the best feelings, i've decided. especially when you haven't been feeling that way lately.
- ditching shakespeare to wander belmar shops with sasha is a much more productive and entertaining use of my time. and i think i would cook more if i had rad kitchen supplies from sur la table.
- svu and coffee go together insanely well. like, it's uncanny. (and 'uncanny' is a fun word.)
- bradley hathaway is beautiful. no really. i don't want to give birth to kids but i think i would have his babies. i also enjoyed his style--speaking and poetic.
- jenelle and coffee also go together insanely well.
- i really like counseling and want to do it more. but it really makes me think and forces me to be even more self-reflective than i already was. i'm a lot more messed up than i anticipated. but right now i'm in the process of stirring everything within me up, making that mess and recognizing the mess, then cleaning it out.
- i'm so excited to be cleaned out.
- hugs are so therapeutic. several people hugged me today and i felt like my problems were so much less significant or dreadful as a result.
- my life feels sort of like a roller coaster and sort of ridiculous but i have a peace about it. and i know my jesus is trying to hug me too. (ps, really liked bradley's hug poem.)
- oh, and let's not forget that frank sinatra is effing wonderful. still and always.
something i am reminded of from a book i read long ago:
when the image topples, will a man stand in it's place?
every day is a compromise.
