thursday's realizations

today has been a day for realizations.

today i realized that the man i love is a boy at heart, and no matter how much it can bother me i'd never have it any other way.

today i realized that i am that person at starbucks: the one who has so obviously been there too many times, evidenced by the ridiculously complicated, rapid-fire order that confuses the wait staff and leaves them shaking their heads ruefully as she walks out the door with her 2 percent green tea frapuccino with a pump of raspberry and no whip.

today i realized that i will never be able to go too long without reading a book for reasons i can't fully comprehend and certainly can't explain. i realized that although i am not an author, do not have the necessary drive to write, someday, when i have enough to say, i will write a book that will be, in many ways, a compilation of the thousands of books that i have read.

today i realized that i am a night thinker, probably a night lover, and certainly not a night owl.

and today i realized that facebook is a potent distraction, but, more dangerously, also the halter of deep thoughts and dreams into unimportant gossip and happenings. not that connecting is bad, not at all; it is just not conducive to creative process or intelligent ruminating.


love.

  1. I'm a creeper, because I'm commenting again, but oh WELL! :)

    I want to delete my facebook pretty badly...why can't people "connect" with me via phone, e-mail, or my blog?

    And I am certain that when you write a book it will not simply be the combination of all you have, but all that you are with the influence of what you have read :). I can't wait for you when you write it!
