and i'm already breathing a bit easier.
even if life feels peculiar and a little difficult right now, i'm still breathing just a bit easier.
i was born into the fall. made for this time of the year.
and so i'm soaking it all up.
open windows and some very good (and eclectic tunes) on the record player.
(actually speaking of record players, must remember to add one of those to the birthday/christmas wish list).
such a good, lovely, lovely evening. his voice really is something else. it lives in that space between--you know the space... that special space that literally reaches out, grabs you by the innards and hoists you up. yup, that space.
today my good girlfriend sam and i are off to see these guys.
and have vegan pizza beforehand. (sam knows all the coolest places in nyc).
before any of that happens i'm treating myself: making my bed. big latte. perhaps a manicure? and wandering around a new york city inundated with cool, fresh air.
sometimes i have to remind myself that when i get a day off, it's not just a day off, it's a day off in a city that people from all over the world come to see. so...day-stay-vacay. or something.
I think happiness is what makes you pretty. Period. Happy people are beautiful. They become like a mirror and they reflect that happiness.
Drew Barrymore
every once and again when the apartment is filled with cool air rolling in off the hudson, and all the lights are off, i pass by the doorless kitchen and have the thought, yes, that's the life i'd like to live one day. followed quickly by, yes, that's the life i'm living.
and then there's the hanging realization that life is full, already terribly full. and pregnant with possibility. and it feels like it's all getting a bit closer. the space between the now and all that i've ever dreamed of.
the gap is closing. and i'm simply along for the ride. and as long as i live fearlessly, it will arrive.
(easier said than done, of course. but the pursuit sure is a hell of a good time).
