This will teach you who your true friends are, and the fine line between friendship and more. Once you must fall in love with someone you believe to be perfect. You will learn that no one is perfect, and that you should never be treated as any less than you...

as a woman (part 2)
i learned to love those raw kisses unsweented by minty substances that lie about human scent and chewy things that fool you into being hungry. nothing is unedited and we are warmed by blowing heaters and bear hugs. smiles do not leave unless they dissolve into knitted eyebrows and open jaws when anticipation is too much and expression needs to take place. we do not care for morning breath in fact...

as a woman...(part 1)
If i didn’t believe in marriage before there is no doubt that i do now. is it so literal the meaning if you dream that you have a baby and its his? as much as he inspires commitment he is man who cannot be possessed. you cannot take away his freedom. he is like and unlike every man you met. and for the love of this man, i sympathize with her while the role of the other woman haunts me. my...

from: How to Make a Journal Your Life
and instead of burying your face in the morning paper, or evening news, pull out your journal and make some notes about what you see there going on around you. that note will mean a lot more to you in ten years than what the television was spewing out guaranteed.

This starts, all of it, with a need, a thirst, a desperation for adventure. I’m not sure where it comes from, I’m not sure where it’s headed, only that it drives me as much as the need for my next breath. Adventure in every sense of the word–intellectually, aesthetically, whether it’s meeting incredible strangers on a whim or spending all night in obscure parties and performances, or adventure...
