“And I waited, and I waited, and I waited, happily allowing whatever it was that presented everything I was damned to remember. Wow! 500 words in and no single mention of love? Don’t be silly! Love is part of me, if not all of me…”( En savoir plus)

The mirror
“If life is a river I am water; when I think I am still, I am still flowing – still wet, at least. But do I know for sure I am water, or am I merely trying to explain my constant wetness? Pun is always intended…” (En savoir plus)
Certainty, perceived
“You see how it works? It’s a constant… Ah, I don’t want to call it battle… Process! It’s a constant process dropping the ego, even the superego – the self. They are part of me, they are inseparable, they’re supposed to keep me safe, and moral – wait, moral…” (En savoir plus)
Absolutely not
“When you flow in the river of life, you don’t cling on to every shiny log in your way for too long – you go around it, you go over it. People aren’t logs – yeah, and the logs aren’t always shiny; let them go regardless. There are people…” (En savoir plus)
Focused life
“Without trust, love will hide behind the clouds and keep me cold, revealing itself only on clear days, too blinding for me to look at. Without fierce loyalty to my true self, my growing and always-becoming self, I will always be imprisoned by other people’s versions of…” (En savoir plus)
Let’s do nothing!
“Joy is better than calm contentment, for sure, and I am often willing to do nothing to achieve it. When I do nothing, it is intentional – often more intentional than when my undiagnosed ADHD self does something, however overthinking I could be. When I do nothing…” (En savoir plus)

“I’m excited and yet my heart is still, Paris. It’s still, like the space between you and my inner self. That space isn’t empty either. Everything I put in there hasn’t gone anywhere. Everything I put in there is what closes the gap between us that…” (En savoir plus)
Light in the heat
“I’ve been feeling light and reassured – my trust in myself playing a big part, I haven’t had time to question the ideologies and if they are aligned – alright, maybe I shouldn’t trust myself that much. Is this how capitalism creeps into our lives? No…” (En savoir plus)
Softer
“I sometimes wonder how many can take you, the full depth and breadth of you, like I can. I sometimes wonder how many, if anyone, can take me, the full depth and breadth of me, my undeniable, demanding presence, like you can. I wonder if I can take anyone…” (En savoir plus)
Little bird
“No one has made it to that status. Just yet. And what happens when that happens?
That might be the time to be even more unreasonable and make my heart so portable that it doesn’t matter where I am or whom I’m with I’ll still feel whole. Yet just…” (En savoir plus)
No distance
“…I’m still looking forward to spending time with you – your river Seine and your streets, your language and your artists, your slow change that is single-handedly capable of comforting me when capitalist propaganda nags me with ‘produce and progress’ while all I want is to walk, perhaps in peace, definitely in love…” (En savoir plus)
To Vienna
“I think London is waiting for me, with its theatres and River Thames, with love in its air again because I’ll be around again with the usual Parisian sass and finesse. Maybe I’ll give Vienna a visit too, simply because someone beautiful mentioned it on a beautiful morning…” (En savoir plus)
