Don't Worry 'bout It

last book i've read: just finished The Da Vinci Code by Dan Brown, working on The History of Love by Nicole Krauss
music currently caressing my ears: still Gnarls Barkley, The Editors, Razorlight, and now Bloc Party
general mood: content, horny, and productive
quote: "Free yourself from negative influence. Negative thoughts are the old habits that gnaw at the roots of the soul." --Moses Shongo, (Seneca) and "Sometimes it's a good day to die, and sometimes it's a good day to have breakfast." --Thomas Builds-the-Fire, from Smoke Signals

Forget melodramatics then, I am mostly content with life. So what if I'm learning the hard way that long distance sucks? There is more to life than crap, and I'm getting beyond all of that. Thank god, I hate the valleys, and it's time for a peak to come my way. I can't wait to join my significant other, enjoying one another in California sun and surf. Until then, I'm so thankful to have a roommate who is sweet, thoughtful, and someone I genuinely like and care about! I recently went out with her, her boyfriend, and her coworkers. It's so nice to be included.

I realized my creative side is running quite dry. I don't write poetry like I used to, and even when I try, it's become a challenge to come up with something thoughtful, something of the caliber I used to write in. It's truly unfortunate; I used to love reading what I wrote, and now, I just miss it. I hope it comes back.

Do me a favor - go out and talk to that person you love, send them a note, an email, a friggin text message if that's what it takes. Just let them know that everything is gonna be all right. It might spare you pain, might spark something wonderful. Despite the fact that love is for suckers, I'm thick in it. I find that the various aspects of our relationship always sustains the positive, everything we have going for us. If only I could remember that all the time. We really have persevered through a lot of situations, some that others would not survive. I feel fortunate to have him. More than fortunate.
