Things to remember. It might actually be okay if I tone down the cynicism just a bit.

Already one year
I really need to get away. But running from my problems doesn’t get rid of them, now, does it? Will I be any better off in another country? Will I learn to stand up for myself, to speak out when I have something to say? Remember AAMP training—remember the energy of empowerment born from those two weeks of enlightenment—remember that the most important thing you learned was the...

The final phone call.
I finally got the phone call I had been wanting from my ex boyfriend. I had experienced the most pain I had ever encountered in my life when we just stopped talking. It was perpetual torment not getting to hear his voice after that day. Today he texted me two words. “Call me” It had been 6 months since I had spoken a word to him. We...

Newport Folk Festival
I wish I had known about this music festival when I lived in Providence in the summer of 2010. Check out the amazing line-up from that year below. I’ve bolded the artists I would have forgone all sleep to see (sleep lab woes, though I did get to see OK GO and Something Corporate that summer, hearkening to my early adolescent days).
Friday, July 30 (International Tennis Hall of Fame) Steve...

You Don’t Need To Be In A Relationship To Live... →
“I’m liberated. And the most liberating truth I’ve learned in the past few years has been this: You don’t need to be in a relationship to live your life romantically.
“Despite my perpetually single status, I am a very romantic person. I can fall in love within a matter of minutes. I care deeply about people. Every corner I turn, I potentially face someone new, someone fascinating,...

what.
I think I turned off my competitive edge somewhat permanently.
This is most likely a bad thing.
Also, single mode is my default mode. I can’t even begin to articulate how I feel about this, except that my life’s romance exists only in the elaborate plots of fiction novels. And sometimes television drama, but let’s not get into how my time has been increasingly consumed by an...

Month of May: how I felt then
Whirlwind.
Semi boy trouble. Well, I’ve done what I can, semi tastefully. Now it’s just another pot on the back burner. Feelings feel different now than they’ve been in the past, but they still get me riled up and helplessly consciously irrational. What am I, twelve?
Maybe, according to my new helmet. It’s pink and green and sports Julius the Monkey. Its sea foam matches...
