Love Letters

I've gotten through about 5 or 6 of my Mom's love letters. Most of it is the loving, random ramblings of a man longing for his firecracker in the States. Each of these letters hint a little bit about who my Mom was, and how she loved. Through the hopeful images of a life together, this man speaks of my Mother in a very different light then i've ever known...
She longed for this man, she felt lonely, she was timid in love, and she was scared. Of course, all of these are hidden amongst the purely positive characteristics of my Mom. But one thing I rarely, and almost never, saw in my Mom was a hint of any weakness.

My Mom usually didn't offer support or advice for me in my ventures through boyfriends and loved ones. She made me figure it out the same way that she did, which wasn't such a bad thing- it definitely made me stronger. I am finding comfort that I am more like my Mom then I thought. She felt the same doubts, she dreamt the same, and she loves the same way I do.

Life is funny; while I'm extremely saddened in the idea that I don't have her here to guide me, I am comforted knowing that she is still teaching me, somehow.

Can't Slow Down

Life is seemingly working to my advantage.
My post-school plans are forcing themselves on me, I'm feeling motivated to seek out my wants/needs, and I am scared to death.

Lets hope this is a mixture for success and happiness.

Opportunities for vulnerability are some of my biggest fears.

Good Start

This morning I dragged myself and Bernadette to the river at 8am. Since my Summer class conflicts with any good river time, the morning seemed like a pretty good idea. And it was! It wasn't too hot, wasn't crowded, and it was terribly relaxing.



I really want to make a habit of this, like once or twice a week. Let me know if you want to join in!

Oh, how it clings to me

I have been unable to stop listening to Passion Pit for the last few weeks.
After getting their new album, Manners, it has been in rotation an embarrassing large number of times.

Tonight they played at the National, a place i'd never been to, but was kinda impressed with. Slanted floors= shorties bein' able to see! Once Passion Pit was preparing for their set, a few of us went to the center of it all to claim a good dancing spot.

Passion Pit was able to translate their energy fairly well through their live performance, I mean, I never stopped dancing, which is a rare sight. I'd like to thank my dance partners: Deepa, Bernie, Annam, and Jon! :)

Such a great experience, I am ecstatic.




P.S. Happy Birthday to Rob! :)

Full Moon

For some reason (cough*fullmoon*cough), Bernie and I were a bundle of ridiculousness yesterday. Target, getting hit on by two old dudes in a charger (they took pictures! Creeps..), Priscillas, Ice Pirates, and Photobooth.




We rule.
