A'IGHT SO:
I have some requests of you people who follow my tumblr. Here they are:
1) This Saturday I am going to Philly for an artshow (for the lovely Cassy W.). I’m leaving NY at 12:45, so I’ll be getting there around 2:45. The show doesn’t start until 6pm, so I’ll have around 3 hours to kill. I am sure at least one of you is in/from Philly or has been there. Suggestions (that are...

Love
finallyseeing:
We fall in love at weddings and auctions, over glasses of wine in Italian restaurants where plastic grapes hang on the lattice, our bodies throb in the checkout line, the bus stop, at basketball games and we can’t keep our hands off each other until we can— so we turn to rubber masks and handcuffs, falling in love again. We go to movies and sit in the air conditioned dark with...

I was his girl. He didn’t know this, I’m sure, but I would have done anything for him. In fact, I probably still would and that’s the worst part. I haven’t even seen him in at least three months and yet I am just as in love with him as I was over a year ago.
I can’t seem to get this boy out of my system. Everytime I think I’m free something comes along to...

as far as I can tell
It has been One Year, Three Months and One Day since the closest date I can match to meeting you.
It has been One Year, Three Months and One Day of turmoil and heart break and confusion and lots and lots of crying.
I would give you (both) so much more time. I do not think that this is a good thing.

There is a couple sitting side by side on a park bench, reading. These are the sort of moments I miss most in my own life. Reading in bed together. Lying in grass, half-napping under a blanket of sunlight. Writing for someone and saying, “This is for you.” Or, even better, saying “Thank you,” not in response to a word or action, but saying it because it is necessary. Thank you for existing....

what I want to tell you
I am leaving in just over a week.
I will miss you.
I can’t get you out of my mind.
I want to say goodbye to you.
I am worried about what you’ve done to my heart.
currently
I am sorting my life into boxes and bags, needs and wants, important and not so much.
This is a rather odd sensation.
