Day 13: Radical honesty

What if I started to tell the WHOLE TRUTH?

The Cat

I have no picture, for it fled too fast.

It is 7:20 am. I need to be on the road with my bright and shiny teenager(no sarcasm here)by 7:30. We have a 25 minute drive to have his shoulder, which now snaps in and out like Barbie’s limbs, looked at for next steps.

108. Will you walk a path marked for you?

Or take the unbeaten road?

Synchronicities

Tiny pings. I liked that you thought of me.

We had missed one another the first time around. Managed to connect but never fully. An open circuit of sorts. Usually I don’t regret those missed opportunities. Chalk them up to whatever line of reasoning suits me at the time…

Losing freedom at 25

On March 30th 2013, I celebrated my 25th birthday.

I wanted to do something special for this year. Something that I’ll remember for all my life.

I love to travel and at that time I had traveled to 12 countries. So, one day, I just decided…

55. How often do you look at your Medium stats?

So tonight it happened. As I was reading with my 8 year old, he was completely stumped by 3 little letters. We recently began reading the Harry Potter series and in chapter 2 of the first book, they are discussing a bunch of presents that Dudley Dursley…

16. Rise Earlier

Basically, I mean to get out of bed earlier. I wake up every 6:30 AM, but I want to do it even earlier. The best for me will be 4:30 AM. When the sun rises, I rise.

28: Appreciation: an exercise in fending off worry about the future

I’m in the middle of reading the NY Times 5-Part article on “How the Arab world fell apart”. The only thing you can do after reading such articles is to be grateful for all that you have.

It’s Been a Year

My friend and I were in rare form on Saturday night. We hopped in an uber pool and terrified some poor boy from Missouri with our Gilmore paced banter and inquiries.

He’s only lived here a month and it seemed like the city has been a lot for him to take in. I barely…

10. The internet

The world is tearing apart between people believing the internet happens to be the best opportunity we had since the commencement…
