~ FRIENDSHIP SERIES ~
2007-07-13 22:41:00
The three posts below are my three-part series on different ways to be a friend. It's only when I was writing the third one that I realized they had a common theme to them. Considering that I am still finding pieces of my heart I lost not so long ago, and that to find different members of my family one would have to spin the globe several times, I could be in a lonely place right now, but I am

Friends who are
2007-07-13 22:15:00
It’s how we treat people around us that they will treat us back. It’s how much we really care about their responses to our questions that they will open up to us. It’s how close to our hearts we let them that they will let us to theirs. I am so happy to lend you an ear, my friend, even if you won’t shut up for hours :) I learned more about you last night than I know about myself, it seems. You

I think sometimes we are too scared to renew old bonds. For one reason or another we lose connection with people whose company we actually used to enjoy some time back then. We lose a common place or institution — a school, a job, a neighborhood or a city… We lose common friends or a hobby. Sometimes we lose people without even getting a chance to know them better, thinking regretfully that we

You can hold my hand if you want to… But at the end of the day, I really need to be with myself. Reminds you of a silly summer song, doesn’t it? I had to borrow its words though because it reflects my life all too well right now. It’s a small place, he said, we’ll run into each other. We did, of course. It’s a fake attraction, I told myself. My head gets light when I sense free spirit and

Stronger
2007-07-08 05:40:00
Are we defined by our choices? I hope not, or at least not entirely, because some of the choices I made this week embarrass me. I am trying to find the right way toward my dreams and discover myself along the way, but I take detours too often. I find adventure in them, but I also get lost. I get entangled in a spider web of my feelings, and I choose to turn my reason off at times, the

Blame it on summer
2007-06-21 23:32:00
Summer to me means a lot of linen, which I love to wear but hate ironing. It also means swimming pools, the smell of sunscreen, colorful flip flops and chatting with girls in one of the sidewalk cafés, enjoying the warm wind’s kisses on our cheeks. Summer brings an excuse to take random candid photos “just because it’s nice outside” and to stay up late “just to listen to birds chirp at dawn.”

This one's for you

I hung up the phone last night And thought I should still be mad At you But I wasn’t I searched deep inside for the remains Of anger and pain That you caused But nothing was there Only the sweetness of your voice Floating like one of those addictive tunes In my mind Please be good to me For you have the power To make me weak

Our ways part here

There is no pain equal to that which two lovers can inflict on one another. This should be made clear to all who contemplate such a union. The avoidance of this pain is the beginning of wisdom, for it is strong enough to contaminate the rest of our lives. - Cyril Connolly I wish I could take a permanent marker and cross the last couple of days out of my life, leaving only the good memories

Naked
2007-06-11 20:40:00
You finding my blog felt a bit like finding myself naked in the middle of the street. I told you I wouldn’t be mad and I’ll stick to my word, although emotions do boil in me every now and then when I think about it. I guess it’s not so much the fact that you read it — anyone in the world can see it after all — it’s about how you found it, it was a bit shady to look around my computer, don’t you

We talked last night, opening our hearts to each other. The world span around you and me, our friends’ chatter and screeching of passing cars silenced by our voices, the city pausing for a moment in a small quiet alley to listen to our hearts find a common beat. We were throwing passionate words at each other, catching them in midair, fascinated by the similarity of our thoughts, by the

You came into my life like a light summer rain. You washed away my troubles and you helped me become myself again. I wish this beautiful summer romance never had to end, but even knowing that it will, I am eager to take the most out of it, savoring every moment with you, every moment of you. We have 12 days to do as we please, no regrets, no looking back, no prying into the future. Thanks

Almost there
2007-05-20 21:30:00
I didn’t dream about you last night. I haven’t been thinking about you during daytime for a while now, but I was afraid that I wasn’t really getting rid of those thoughts and only suppressing them. I’d fight so hard and you would defeat me again and again by showing up in my dreams. Well, I had a good nine-hour sleep last night (I barely ever make it over 5 so this was really good), and guess

A recipe to unbreak your heart
2007-05-19 01:29:00
Ok, you have to try this if your heart was broken. Travel somewhere. Visit a friend who has been inviting you forever or a sibling whom you saw a year ago or so behind your job-school-whatever else too busy life. I know, we all are busy, but there are weekends, right? No, no trip is too short, my last one was Friday through Sunday and trust me, it works like magic. Plan a trip a month or so in

Moving on
2007-05-11 22:05:00
I started packing today. I will be moving soon, you know. I am not moving to something I wish or want or something waiting for me in another city. I hate leaving the town I am so used to, the town with all the familiar places and people I care for. But I am willing to start anew in order to become me again. I am moving away from here, to my independence, to the future without you. I know that

Finding comfort in writing
2007-05-11 02:10:00
My life took several unexpected turns recently and I really felt like writing. Yet every time I sat down in front of my laptop, the screen disappeared behind my tears and the immense pain I felt didn't seem to be willing to leave me in the form of words. It has been a month now although it seems to have happened in a course of just one night, a single nightmare that sent me rolling down the

Rainy
2007-05-05 23:40:00
One thousand falls, One thousand rains, You touched my eyes, Rushed through my veins, Then left me standing on the slopes, Touching the leaves, Counting the drops, Cold rains and dreams, And muddled streams, No sign of hopes.
