A Few Things
1 I anticipate these next few weeks will be filled with lots of stress, papers, bad food, little sleep, and not enough time to feel all the kinds of fear I’ve been keeping at bay. 2 I painted my finger nails for the first time in 6 months and they’re all chipped and worn already. For some reason this comforts me. 3 I have tons of things to do and a poor, vague idea of how I’m...
You, again
I guess I just don’t want to be cheap. I don’t want to find You beneath layers of selfishness and necessity, where You’re the only one left to turn to. I want to find You in a crowd, fall into Your arms in relief, after years of searching.
I want to find You.
You: You miss and love me?

There are so many things I’d like to do. Like write a play. And maybe star in it. I’d like to paint and draw and maybe make something wonderful and delicious that will keep me yawning for days from eating too much of it too quickly, all at once. I’d like to write a comedy sketch. And maybe star in it. And then be on the radio and interview a host of inspirational people and ask...
