finding grace in simplicity
the older i get the more i appreciate silence.
i want to multi-task less and focus on one project, and get it right.
i relish days when i can spend the entirety of my waking hours in pajamas and sleep until the incredibly late hour of 10 a.m.
these are things a younger me took for granted.
these are things an older me feels wise for appreciating.

ethereal, adj.
You leaned your head into mine, and I leaned my head into yours. Dancing cheek to cheek. Revolving slowly, eyes closed, heartbeat measure, nature’s hum. It lasted the length of an old song, and then we stopped, kissed, and my heart stayed there, just like that.

I imagine you saved my life. And then I wonder if I’m just imagining it.

when people don’t meet your expectations it’s either one of two things:
1. your expectations are too high
2. they weren’t the person you thought they were
there’s really no other way around it.

If there was ever a day more important than today for my mother to emphatically pronounce to me, “Leslie you should tell people that you are part Japanese. It’s an important part of who we are,” today is the day.

“juxtaposition, n.
It scares me how hard it is to remember life before you. I can’t even make the comparisons anymore, because my memories of that time have all the depth of a photograph. It seems foolish to play games of better and worse. It’s simply a matter of is and is no longer.”

The phone conversation I just had with my...
My mom: What are you doing this weekend? Me: My friend Kelly is in town from TN. Mom: Oh how is she? Me: It’s a guy. Mom: Oh! Is he married? Me: No. Mom: Is he gay? Me: No. Mom: What’s wrong with him? Me: Is that what your friends ask when you tell me about me? Mom: No, of course not! Me: Mmmhmm Mom: So does he have a crush on you?
…And then I change the subject. Because...

BETTER OFF AS FRIEND-REQUESTERS. →
Attention: This McSweeney’s article may sound silly, but there are some real points to be made here.
There’s a social contract in today’s dating world. I guess I thought more people recognized that there are clear wrongs & rights when it comes to certain things.
I, however, was clearly wrong in that assumption.

sometimes i think i want to fast forward through this. through the hard stuff. through the mix of anger then tears then anger then tears then depression that just won’t go away.
but then i think: this is what defines us as humans. that we can connect so intimately with one another and then just watch it wash away. it’s how we see ourselves, and how we view ourselves through other...
