A Wish

Not a week has gone by that I haven't dreamt of finally making my way to India. I've planned to go so many times but each time I told myself that I needed to stay longer than the week or two that I had. One of these summers will be offered to that land...

"I'm So Proud Of You"

Is it just me or does Drake's mediocrity have universal appeal? He's clearly nothing for the record books but maybe that's the reason most people can relate, no? More insecurity than bling in his lyrics. Maybe I'm just trying to defend songs I find too catchy.

Ghoulish Innocence

James offered Wendy a flower he had picked in the field. It was his first time in love.

Beat, Beat, Beat

So many things to make our hearts beat so hard that it feels like the end is close and all that will be left is either ecstasy or oblivion. Life constantly fluctuates between the two planes, but ultimately both ecstasy and oblivion are the destinations of loosing control. Sometimes we all need just need a moment to let go and let the surf push us where it may - to our betterment or our demise.

For Fear Of Pain

It's been a while so I figured I should let my future self know that I'm currently well and with a few things on my mind.

"Yeah, yeah and it’s O.K.
I tie my hands up to a chair so I don’t fall that way.
Yeah, yeah and I’m alright.
I took a sip of something poison but I’ll hold on tight."
- - Foster The People, "Helena Beat"

Every now and then one is confronted with a murky through an unlit wood - destination unknown. We are often afraid to proceed forward for fear of pain, pangs and pitfalls, especially if our experiences have taught us that those three outcomes are possible (and maybe in certain cases even plausible). Whether the path deals with career, love, various relationships or any factor that requires our time, energy, emotion and intimacy never matters. Only the decisions we take matter, and, unfortunately, their effects are never known until it's too late, for better or worse.

Cheers to risk taking, expecting the worst and wishing for the best.
