emptiness

'the anxiety is age old. the fear of being alone. Once you've felt the comfort of society, you worry about losing it. So to remind yourself of how you're connected, you gather things around. And you cling to them, not so you won't lose them, or lose what makes you you, but so you won't lose the connections they represent. The fear is of emptiness — but of emptiness inside us, not of empty rooms.'

live as if this is all there is

live with intention.  walk to the edge. 
listen hard. practice wellness. play with abandon. 
laugh 
choose with no regret.
continue to learn.
appreciate your friends. 
do what you love.
live as if this is all there is.    --- Mary Anne Radmacher

compliment

F: What's he like?
E: He is different. From anybody I know.
F: Different is good. From where I am from. The highest compliment for a person, is to say that they are down to earth, grounded.  I hate it. It drives me nuts.

 It's the Roman God Janus. My mother wants to teach me that everyone has two sides, good side and bad side. Past and the future. That we must embrace both in someone we love. And I tried.
