great forces are at work.

me: "how has life been?"
him: "hm, kinda shitty. i can't lie."
me: "well, i'm glad you can be honest to me about it"


i posted my favorite quote yesterday. "be bold-- and great forces will come to your aid". i was bold this morning, and maybe just maybe... goethe was right, great forces did come to my aid. 

i had this conversation today with a friend. we've never really hung out or seen much of each other really. in fact, we rarely get the chance to even talk. i guess though, when we do... it's honest. he told me about his life, and how he's unhappy all the time. he's told me several times about how he feels this way, but i've never really had the courage to reach out. somehow today though, after all these years i was able to just relax and let go; i was honest. i told him how i've always wanted to be his friend way back then and that i never had the courage. 
now i feel like what was already established long ago, that odd and unexplainable connection we always had was finally defined today.
what is there left to do? see each other. we agreed.

life is a maze, love is a riddle





Valentine's Day. This holiday makes me question all other holidays. I have a friend who doesn't celebrate most holidays that I know of. I get her now. Everyday should be a holiday, not just one day. There shouldn't be a designated day for love or dressing up or giving. 

existentialism with strangers

meeting new people is always the thrill.

last nights was one of those nights that would/should have ended at a coffee shop long after the dark sky has disappeared into slumber and the sunlight has just woken up. you sit around and converse with new friends/former strangers.

La Vie en Lundi


Reminded me of Picasso, Matisse and Primitivism all at once. 


For a while now I've been trying to figure out what to do with my Mondays. It used to end in unproductivity after countless hours of contemplation on "what should i do?". Last Monday I decided a bus ride to nowhere would be nice. I ended up here somehow. Ok, so I got off at the same stop as the guy I thought was cute. I'll post his picture later today.

guy with a 20 second stare

as i was walking out of my film class tonight i make eye contact with this guy in an army green parka... 

it wasn't the usual awkward glance. this lasted for like 20 seconds. i'm still a little puzzled.
