Palliative amnesia →
My mother took us to Mexico pretty often when we lived in California, sometimes driving and sometimes flying on the budget airline Suntrips. It was an easy destination for everyone. I was learning Spanish in school, my mother’s parents had lived in Mexico, and she grew up in San Diego, right…

Purple Heart

The principal of my grade school appears in memory as if designed by Barthes. He’s twelve feet tall and at that age when men look primarily dignified or undignified (he is dignified). The creases of his pants are sharp. He says nothing and stands like a tree, our heads reaching his knees, orchestrating the school from a desk behind which hangs, between two others, a drawing of a...
Are you an over-shopper, aka, a shop-a-holic? →
i-peach-feng-shui:
a few good tips from the Everyday Minimalist. I’ve felt like a non-stop shopper this month, but I had to remind myself that buying silverware and pots and pans and leather beds and sky high bookshelves and… and… yes.

It kills me when people say things like “I don’t play games” when they are talking about romantic relationships. Of course you play games. If you are self-aware enough to acknowledge the possibility of manipulating someone else, you are as good as admitting that you do it.
Most people do it. It’s not necessarily a bad thing. Manipulation is what creates and stokes romance, often. To...
beauty.
notoriousperfection:
Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot. I think about many things, usually things that i’d like to know, see, or discover by myself.
Beauty. What is it? To many it is the perfection seen in one. To most, it is the beauty seen by the eyes, but not the beauty seen within ones soul. To me beauty can be seen/found anywhere in the world, however to many it is the flawless perfection...
Love Letterˤ
lifewithoutfear:
To my dearest,
The days have lost their names, clocks have become redundant, the ability to distingush the difference between a memory and a dream has all but abandoned me. Johnny had a word of warning for this-in fact he had a few-depersonalization, derealization, auditary hallucinations, verbigeration….even when the meaning evaporates from all the tangible aspects of life,...
