cheshire

"the loneliness, it's palpable"
what resonates is significant to what is hidden in our core. the very things that move us can keep us from moving, from breathing. what is it about these things? i can't find the words to pin down or define explicitly what they are, but there are things there within our own selves that are instinctual and so much a part of who we are... what sort of things have we kept from our own animal instincts that we can no longer tap into? what sort of things move and halt us that we are so programmed to overlook as animals that use (and maybe overuse) our intellect?
it's a curious and beautiful heartache all at once.

it's not a loneliness of human contact, because that is for certain something i do not have. is it recognition of things that i know i will never have? i know i'm a stubborn hopeless romantic. it's something in the air breathe in and out when i walk down the streets of seattle in the early morning and fall in love with. it's something i feel underneath and throughout lovely songs that is separate and still entirely a part of the music.
"i wear my garments so it shows, and i know only love is all maroon..."

it's nothing i can write about honestly right now, first because i don't know, and second because i do.

hush that fuss

it's been a rough week or so.
i don't know why, i just don't feel like type-writing. i haven't been inspired enough to write a letter to one of my dearest friends, and i have writing just to fill space. i've been getting my fill of creative outlets: i've been dancing more (again, thank god), reading, drawing, and taking a hell of a lot more photography than usual. i've been working a whole hell of a lot, and i've been broke as all hell for the last few weeks.

i have to psyche myself out to eat top ramen.
that broke.

but it feels good, you know? it feels good to be on my own, to figure out how to take care of myself.

soundtrack for the latter part of this day:
1) "my lovin' (never gonna get it)" - en vogue
2) "i wanna be down" (remix) - brandy featuring mc lyte, yoyo, and queen latifah
3) "if your girl only knew" - aaliyah
4) "the rain (supa dupa fly)" - missy elliott
5) "rosa parks" - outkast
6) "don't walk away" - jade
7) "whatta man" - salt 'n' pepa featuring en vogue
8) "no scrubs" - tlc
9) "try again" - aaliyah featuring timbaland

you know.
early 90's sort of evening...
