A Life in Black and White

am not your usual lady in the neighbourhood. i could be fun-loving and ambitions blazing, yet chilling with a good book in hand. loves audrey hepburn movies, lemon-lime-&-bitters, vintage anything and furniture. am not one effortlessly impressed. i see my goals, my dreams and the enjoyment would lie not merely in the success at the end of the road but in this journey of life. livin` it, lovin` it, keepin` it real. i travel alone, i travel light, in my 20`s - la vie est belle!

jagged lil pill

After what seems like long-lost age, it hit me. Strong powerful pill, that's what it does to anyone. Finally stumbled onto MT's page. 6 hours flash by like a blink when you're fast asleep and uncannily it can be an eternity if you're trying to sleep. MT's words running around in my mind, threading my thoughts along. I marvel at how life goes depends on choices. How different choices turn out so very varied. Flashbacks...

"I had to admit, while I was exhilarated with the prospects and possibilities in store, I was just as afraid of them. There is a certain feeling of safety in familiarity, even if your existence was less than satisfactory at the time. I felt naked, vulnerable, even though this could have well been the safest place I’d been in a while. You couldn’t help but laugh at the irony of it all I suppose; I know I had to suppress a chuckle."

A chuckle. And the crystal squirrel. My mind has again found itself wandering far away. Those who know the feeling would agree that it’s the best and the worst feeling in the world.

"God please grant me the humility to accept the things I can’t change, the courage to change the things that I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. "
