why are the french so good?

(Trans: I interpret his gesture as his ultimate freedom far from the demons that seemed to haunt him forever.)

ITALIA ANCORA!!

I am so madly overwhelmed with joy to announce this that I just don’t know where to start!

Christmas morning, digging deeper and deeper into my stocking, I uncovered a tiny envelope. Inside, a ticket to Ancona via Roma leaving on Jan 2!!!

Voilà, nothing more. I’m all joyed up to the brim. I’m not sure when I am going to post again, tomorrow, after tomorrow, maybe where I have my layover, who knows?!?

Ciao tutti!!! And long live exclamation points!!!!!!!

"Who is this?"

"Billie Holiday. The only woman I can think of in more pain than you right now."


Nothing is more depressing then having nothing to look forward to. Winter can end now, I shall gladly retire my scarves for sun.

"How about you? Ain't you wacked out with bitterness? Don't you see no stars gleamin' that you can't reach out and grab? I am a volcano, I'm a giant and I'm surrounded by ants. Ants that don't even know what I'm talkin about! How's that?" - Walter Younger, A Raisin in the Sun

Thank you, Miss Hansberry.

ILOVEJULIA!

sometimes, every so often, i look around myself and i do not recognize my life. these people around me that i take for granted as being my friends, i don't recognize them. it's funny how people just spring up into existance in your life and you barely even notice. you just take it in stride and the next thing you know, your life is full of strangers that are somehow familiar faces. it's disconcerting. change is a quiet event.
