“How are you?”, He asked her.“Good, How are you doing?”, she said.“Fine.”
As I take stock of everything, looking back over the blur of the past months, I’m starting to piece together how off the rails I went.
White sand, white umbrellas, people of all shapes and sizes dressed in white, casually elegant. The Clambake is an annual event, and so is her…
I’ve been listening to a lot of Taylor Swift. I think that tells you most things.
You and I.
We’re very much the same.
We both dream together.
We dream of flying and seeing the world.
We saw a future together and were overwhelmed by the mere thought of it.

It was a winter night. We were roaming around in the car. I wanted to spend some more time with her. She was feeling cold, and probably wanted to go back to her house, return to her blanket. She didn’t say it though. Suddenly, she asked me to stop the car. There sat a stray dog, who looked tired…

Fate is a curious thing. The only appropriate beginning for a post about fate is to quote possibly the greatest Roman emperor of all time:
God, Stephanie, this is so like me too! It’s like you’re talking specifically about me and how I’ve always approached my relationships….and they’ve always failed because of this. No matter how hard I tried to please the men, they never stayed.

The American’t Dream or My New Year’s Resolution

Today many people are looking to buy local. But the flaw in that practise is that, while they try to do good, they think of only food. Food is a part of it, but in all actuality it goes deeper than that. And, if you really wish to be a part of something great, you need to look at the…

Being a single child to my parents, I have always been pampered. They made sure I was always in the comfort zone and fulfilled my wishes by sacrificing their own needs for me. I had never expected that one day I will have to leave them and go to a new place.
I would die for you
I hate that.
I never thought of this thought, which now no longer is only a thought. A thought of that that beautiful soul, I once loved a…

E agora, José? A luz acabou, o nescafé esfriou, a internet dos dados moveis acabou e tu precisas assistir MadMen na netflix.
So well done Erin. I love the aching honesty in here, contrasted with the determination to have a meaningful relationship, in spite of the vulnerability that admission requires.
Here’s a poem about a guy who is NOT a fit to be that next owner! 😃
You encountered your first taste of love, you journeyed through the valley, and you survived. You were able to pick yourself up, dust off, and give another love another chance.
To me, those moments are what old love is about. Not what it ended up as — but the few moments when the world was warm instead of scary, when I loved, when I believed that I was loved. That is something no one can take away. It happened. Then things went all downhill and the world exploded and I shattered into a million pieces — but in the start…
Kicked out of high school, not cool,Met a girl in GED school who that I was a fool,Telling her In love her, yet she doesn’t know me,Love at first site ran away,Soon after I did it again, The love at first site can not be pretend.
Cups of hot water & beans-Ah coffee!
and tongues spewing air laden alphabets;
from a lazy afternoon till a hazy evening
coffee and conversation..
Sometimes life leads you to wonderful placesTo the sunsets of your mindTo the sunrises of your heartTo the volcanoes of your passion
Mengapa Engkau membawaku ke dunia yang begitu gelap,Gelap akan kejahatannya.
Mengapa Engkau membawaku masuk dalam pencobaan ganti pencobaan yang membuatku terkadang jatuh
Love is not giving up on each other no matter what happened.
tudo que eu quero é um final de semana, sentado ao seu lado, ouvindo sua voz e pagando com risos. eu quero ir à praia, olhar pra você com o mar ao fundo. discutir o passado e descobrir o futuro. ir ao cinema, rir e chorar. eu posso ser o que você tanto quer, eu só peço a…
there comes a day, i thought of your eyeshow they glisten when you smile, spark when I’m around, or even virtually, when we’re miles apart
I find this confusing. The overriding sentiment of this piece is disappointment and resignation, yet there is a strong sense of admiration for Chappelle. With that admiration comes a level of tolerance that is directly contrary to the objectives.
I lean in the direction of thinking the writer is not being genuine.
(Poetry +music mash-up)AFIRE LOVE
[ Annola ]
Our love is like a smoke…
Spreading to the world…
And blowing like the wind…
I breathe it in and
I know you’re awfully tired,I know your body aches in pain,I know your mind isn’t so inspired,I know your soul is being drained.
January Lane
She whips in to alleviate and elevate
Hopefully hopeful and humble
With strong tracks of direction and sturdy ties
The train of ambition, the locomotive of motivation

So I woke up this morning with my two little dogs in bed with me and as I said good morning to them, I told one of them, “I love you with all my heart”.
Then I immediately felt bad for the other one. It was then that I realized that I had fallen into a trap. That statement is…
Ella es el rocío de la mañana,
She is the morning dew,
You’re god-damn right she was right.
The woman that first broke my heart left me with one good thing. And that’s these words.
“The best way out is always through. Angels got their halos walking through the fires of hell”.
Kindle that tiny, white flame of hope. Burn fierce.
Between the Fire
. and the Sea,
It Is Us
It's not you, it's me It is so simple to kill someone By taking the blame upon yourself Snatching away that one ray of hope from them The only chance they have to redeem themselves

All we need to be happy is life. Life is all we need to be happy. Many of us believe that we need material stuff to be happy. For example, we think we need money to buy goods or services. It is true; you do need goods and favors. But your friend can make you those favors and sell you those products. I think that…

Wrap me in your arms and hold me tightly.
I adore this! Such memories… I adore my kiddies 😍 aka #myheartbeats… they drive me bonkers, and yet they are a ‘celebration of life’. Thanks for sharing 🌻
Just my thoughts on truth and honesty and how they can be bad for societal interactions when not mixed with love.
It is honest for instance to say “I robbed at gun point last night.” But would society reward a person with good things if they were to display this honesty or truth? Better still, should society provide a good…

It feels like a Sunday morning again.
A coffee in my hand, lying in my bed.
Numerous calls but I can’t pick up one.
I swear, another chapter and I’m done.

i starve to taste
let me find your soul
let me blind my eyes
Day in a Life
Life In a Day is a brilliant documentary, directed by Kevin Macdonald, that feature snippets of video shot by ordinary people from all different parts of the world on a single day: July 24, 2010.
The similarities that captured my attention were the ordinary, humdrum, everyday things…
Arona thanks for the words of encouragement. I love the quote you shared and will definitely remember it whenever I find myself in one of those dark places.
The Visit of Aphrodite-
The two lost in each other’s eyes,
Have an aching sensation inside them.
The auburn locks of her hair dance as the wind whispers,
Goosebumps run up his Ivory skin, but he stands still.
She
was a New Englander
that danced like a Southern Belle.
His
Southern Belle.
The one
he was trying to forget. The
one
that had forgotten him.
If there is a god, she would be kind.
My little girl was writing something seriously. I stood at the doorway to admire her. She was holding her pencil tight in her hand and stooped over the note before her. Her brows furrowed in concentration. She was practising handwriting dutifully. I came near her and tapped her shoulder to get her attention…

Today I learned that people are not against me.
I learned that people are only against one another when ego is involved. I learned that the easiest and most fulfilling way to be successful is to help someone else.
I am so grateful…for friends, for family, for the haters, who have pushed me to this…
I don’t expect much from people.And when I say things like that,you call me jaded.You say I do not knowmy own worth.You say, “Look.

I love this quote. It is similar to another I heard (not sure who to credit): “The real definition of greatness is doing the best with what you are given.”
can i be honest? very completely fully honest. i hated myself. i truly, and utterly, despised myself. freshman year was a not-so-cheery time in my life. it was a blur. sure, i had plenty of friends, but the dark part wasn’t the few lost friendships or the actual educational aspect, although that sucked too — it was…

Review: Call Me By Your Name (2017) — Luca Guadgagnino
I have been putting off writing this review for a few days now, and I’m not entirely sure why. I suppose, on some level, I am intimidated by the idea of reviewing this movie, and not just because it’s sooooooo great (it is a very good movie) and I don’t want to get…
So I saw a casual work friend the other day doting around what looked like his girlfriend.
do you remember kissing at the stop signs and red lights?
do you remember our bodies pressed so close to each other that your breath became mine and our heartbeats became one?

Thanks for sharing this piece. I relate so much to it. I feel that if I delete pieces I don't like, soon I'll start holding myself to a high standard and become afraid of publishing anything at all. That's a quick road to writer's block.

The voices are back. The loud, hateful, demeaning, destructive voices. They filled my mind like a flooded sink. My head was pounding like someone had just punched me in the face 5 times, and each time getting a little harder.
