As much as I love New York City, after 5+ years here I can understand why some people leave. I’d like to leave some day, if only for a moment and live someplace else. When and if that happens, I hope New York will understand and take me back when I’m ready.

Worpswede, near Bremen, July 16th, 1903: “You are so young, so before all beginning, and I want to beg you, as much as I can, dear sir, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be...

From Hitchcock's "Vertigo"
“Where are you going?”
“I don’t know… I just thought I’d wander.”
“That’s what I was going to do.”
“Don’t you think it’s a waste for the two of us..."
“To wander separately?”
“But only one is a wanderer. Two together are always going somewhere.”
I really opened myself up in ‘JCVD.’ I peeled back the skin of the...

learning how to be honest with myself—and, more importantly, with others. rather than pretending to be someone i’m not, i’m learning to just be. terrifying, but totally soul saving. i already feel lighter, more at peace, more grounded…like my feet or more firmly planted…fewer balls to juggle…less effort required. the sun’s out, the kooks are playing, and i...

so, i started seeing a therapist again. i’ve only gone to see alexandra once, but i think she and i are clicking—which is pretty rare, you know. i made the decision to see a therapist for a number of reasons: not knowing what i want to do with my life (my much maligned ‘quarter-life crisis’); procrastination and focus issues; low self-esteem (which is tied to both...
escape for another perspective
back from vacation. copenhagen + stockholm = lovely. remembered to put one foot in front of the other—to walk, not run (metaphorically, not physically). friend loves her job, and kicks ass at it. made the lightbulb in my head switch on; been waking up not wanting to go to work too many days in a row…something’s got to change.

ode to not knowing
so distracted
going everywhere,
doing everything,
so you become nothing.
unfocused
unguarded
taken away from the present
wave

wave
until it crashes
steam, rising,
emptying into the gray
gray
gray
gray.
