Happy New Years

Never Forget

Coming out to my friend while she's re-shaving my undercut.

Her: Ohh I'm totally going to leave this tuft... But you look super gay.
Me: Uh... welllll...

Consider me a satellite- forever orbiting.

I thought for so long that I wouldn't be able to figure out why things had turned out the way that they did, but I think I finally have. This amazing door has opened up for me and the most amazing woman has walked in. I can't believe how incredible she is.

"life's not a bitch, she's a beautiful woman..."

Today I finished up my last Women's Studies class. Really nice to have that be done. We watched a great documentary called 'Little Sister vs Big Brother' which was the story of Little Sister's bookstore and the censorship that existed in form of Canadian Customs. Great film, I would definitely recommend it. I am going to be studying a bit more (maybe) the next couple of days here... Only one class left and I am DONE.

Today was a beautiful day, lovely drizzle of rain, met someone that I have admired at a distance, enjoyed a delicious meal for no cost, spoke with my mom, ahhh.

So many things in my life are worth savoring and treating with respect. Such as myself, and my body.

"But I think it's valid to accept how their ass view of life is unhealthy to our stunning complexities."

My friend sent me a text on Friday night that said:

"Hey, is it a knitting night or a social night?"

I think that that pretty much sums up my life. The possibility of my Friday night being a knitting night is so much higher than the other. All day today I stayed inside and sewed hand made fish for my family for Christmas. Next I need to make one more for my Dad, and fix the existing ones. Then it's stocking stuffers and wrapping. The quest continues.

I have been really fortunate to have this wave of inspiration come over me.

Life is so good to me.

If I've ever seen the potential in my life it's now.

I just created something that I am incredibly proud of. I think I've found my medium. This is truly exciting.

I'm getting to the point where I want to curl up in my bed with someone and not leave for the entire day.

I'm going to be honest.

I have no idea what I'm doing.

I know it's not particularly eloquent or interesting to say- but I am not enjoying my education right now. I'm writing endless essays on topics I don't really care about all in hope of eventually finding a class that hits home. Feels pretty empty and endless right now.

As I sit here in the library I can see the moustache man who is always impressive on campus. What a charmer. Guess that that is proof enough that some people really do feel comfortable around here.

In more exciting news I worked up the courage to say a few words to the lady of my dreams- although it was during the pro-choice rally and it wasn't really anything important in the least. Oh well. At least contact has been made. I now know her major and can attest further than I could've before that she is the most beautiful girl on campus.

I don't want to go out on my own anymore,
I can't face the night like I used to before.
I'm so sorry for the things that they've done.
I'm so sorry about what we've all become.

Good Morning- Today will be an amazing bright day. I am in love with the idea of creativity and interest in the world around me. Today I will present my group project with confidence and clarity. We will finish swiftly and everyone will have done exactly what they needed to do to accomplish the job quickly. I will not have to argue with anyone- and I will not fall into old patterns. I will have multiple happy experiences today- and I will be moved by them. I will smile at strangers like always. I will feel a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day like I haven't felt in a long time. I will write the base of two papers today and I will be proud of both of them. I will take this new found focus to important lengths. My apologies for the preachy nature of this post but sometimes you've just got to be positive for yourself. I've spent a long time wallowing in self pity without any proposed plans to surmount it, yet here I am- awake and ready to do it. I'm ready to say 'good bye' to all of those lonely brooding day without any interest in any direction. I love the world around me and I am excited to see what it has in store for me. We are brilliant creatures and have all of the potential in the world yet we sit around and wait for it to hit us- it doesn't work that way. I'm going to seize the day and realize that every day is new.

Every morning we are born again- what we do today is what matters most. - Siddhartha

Dear Abbey.

Remember to engage strangers. 

Remember to laugh at yourself.

Remember to care.

Remember that each day

...is a new day

    

Tu me manques.

I am beginning inspiration. I'm going to show me who's boss. I'm going to forget about the people in the world who don't care about me. I want this to be a creative space for me. Perhaps I'll post reviews, or songs I enjoy, hell I don't know. I want to use this space to eloquently express my feelings like I used to. So let's start now.
