I’m back!

Well, sort of.

Somehow, in some way, I’ve found myself back to my old love-- journaling. Past are the days of Xanga, Livejournal; hello, Tumblr and Taylor Swift. Just kidding.

Been a while since I’ve danced on these keys purely for writing’s sake; it’s been a flurry of three side hustles combined to make a larger, fiscal component. 

Life has been brook-y-- continued, slow, babbling.

Ah, I am called. To be continued.

I don't know,

Am I actually considering writing professionally?

CAN I quell my soul of its inner 13-year-old angst by pouring it into a novel that can and will be read by millions around the world?

DO I have the guts to pick up and leave? Take my savings; rent a small, studio apartment; and live as a recluse writing?

I mean, who needs people anyway?

I feel something bubbly up inside of me. I'm a firm believer of signs, however. Will God have the grace to grant me one?

To be continued...

In a lot of my ways, my life has become a merry-go-round.

Is it possible for the horse I'm riding to break free? Does anyone have Mary Poppins' number?

Day 1

Con: "Thinks" he's going to buy an airline ticket today because he believes cleaning (though he can do that tomorrow) takes precedence. Sale ends Friday, weekend visiting is for a music festival anyone outside of LA will most likely purchase. meaning? lets opportunities slip him by. also, does not plan ahead.

Pro: Texted in the early AM, and before work to wish me a good day. meaning? believes in the (very) little things.

Winner: Con

I haven't signed in for so long, I forgot how to use this damn blogging mechanism.

Well, shit's gotten real.

I don't know where my life is going or where it should be going, but I'm going to take the last half hour of my work to try and describe in words where it is right now. For my own sake.

Ever since I was a child I loved to write. Writing got me through a lot of the angst that accrues in a young human being when he or she (she, in this case) decides to let it. In my young life, I've had a lot of angst. These angst-y issues led to impulsive moments that have either added to or depleted from the wholeness that is my life. I've stopped writing, and my life has gotten to shit. Sometimes I'd think, why don't I write for a living? And then I realise that going through the pain of drafting and re-drafting makes me nauseous. I think that's why I loved journalism so much; I wasn't really in the position to make those calls. Point being, I am not a writer. Not only have I not "not become a writer" as a career, I no longer write. This is probably due to a plethora of reasons; main reason is that I no longer read as much as I used to.

Growing up I was an avid reader. I read 'til it was night outside, when it was dawn when I began. One quickly realises, however, that one cannot successfully write when one does not read. Reading is essential to the growth and posterity of human beings; why it does not happen as much as it should ... I may have stumbled upon the answer.

[paragraph deleted due to its offensiveness.]

In any case: I should read and write more. My life is peachy, still, though I am unhappy with how I went about it. I have a job, boyfriend, and loving friends/family. I guess I'm just daunted by the fact that I have a back sprain (what am I, OLD!?), and one of my childhood friends is getting married. WEIRD.

Got most of my shoes stolen while moving this past weekend. Oh, bastard also stole brand new kitchenware and food that my mother lovingly put together in neat boxes throughout the week for me to take to my new "home."

I am not made for the desperation of this town.

Walking the streets the air is damp with regret and longing for a better life.

It churns of deceit, hate, and loneliness.

Anything to get by.

City of Angels?

I don't think so.

This is awesome.

Daily chart: booze, bonks and bodies. The various Bonds are more different than you think. Pierce Brosnan was the most bloodthirsty, bumping off around 19 baddies per film. George Lazenby was the Bond for the babes, whereas Daniel Craig is notably less successful with the ladies. Maybe that’s because he drinks the most martinis.

Make sure you marry someone who laughs at the same things you do.
