I woke up this morning with a beautiful feeling. Despite having only slept 4 hours (a first for me on a weeknight), I feel so fulfilled. Having had honest conversations with friends this weekend, I feel that I am finally making the most of my friendships, truly delving into the more meaningful topics. Alas, morning has come, as does Monday, and as does obligation. Hopefully this feeling...

I feel stuck - Caught between the world of literature and imagination and the world of reality and actuality. A strange sadness burdens my heart to think that while I want to celebrate art, culture, life, happiness, I must first burden myself with the chores of social obligation and moral responsibility. I can’t be reckless and get on a flight to Italy. I can’t abandon the one request...

So everyone has their default topics: the topics they turn to because they’re most comfortable with them. It’s a sort of a social self-defense mechanism: Instead of exposing yourself and talking about something outside of your comfort zone , you just stick to what you know - but by doing this, so much gets lost. The attempt to connect with someone just becomes self-indulgent.

The fact that I went into an art store today, bought art supplies, and am now doing my daily homework assignment of sketching just brings so much light into my day. That I am story boarding for my flip book… it’s just surreal to realize that all the things I worked so hard for and only dreamed of doing a year ago are real now.

As much as I kind of hate myself for not having been honest and straight-forward, I am still happy that I bit my tongue. That in all my sobriety, I still realized that there’s timing to every conversation. I can’t force clarity because then history will just repeat itself and I’ll be stuck in the same rut. The truth is, I’m trying something new out by being patient....

I really should not have said anything to my mother. I’m going to get an ear full of this for the next 100 hours of my life. Way to keep an honesty policy with the parents, D, way - to - be.

I need to be real tired. Real tired. So, I’m going to watch a movie. And this will be exciting. I haven’t screamed yet. Except, I did swear like a sailor loudly in the Diner, so maybe I already did scream? I don’t know. Just, life’s much too strange to figure out.
In any case, I’m happy I’ve just talked things out with a few people, gotten their...

Waiting for this phone call. Waiting waiting waiting. I feel like a teenage 80s kid who is waiting by the one phone in the house to ring hoping it’s someone to talk to. YES, THAT’S ME.

So about that dream last night
No joke had a dream last night that was probably the most realistic scenario ever. It was us, on a couch, me trying to communicate, and I get tongue tied. Just, flustered. And finally when the words come out of your mouth, my phone rings and I wake up to the vibrations of my mother’s phone call. BLERGH This needs to happen in - real life.
Also, part of the...
