We learn things, in such short spans of time- about ourselves and our true desires. Sometimes, I miss him. The loudness of it all pounded through my brain in the beginning, and now it’s almost like an infrequent, low buzz. It hits when I see the strangest of things, and reminds me of who I …

This is probably going to be offensive. I say this upfront, and maybe- you could stop reading now. You know those stories that just pop into your head and you start telling them and you suddenly stop…. And think… Oh my god- this story is entirely inappropriate. How do you end it? “….andtheyputtheirclothesonandwenttochurch..theend!” Because that …

You can hear the soft hum of the transistor radio from here. You lay in a ditch as the sun beats down over your helmet. It’s been weeks of war, you’re famished for what you had at home, but you must win, so on your belly you crawl. The sun is fading as you come …

There is nothing, (NOTHING,) that cheers me up more than an email from someone who has never met me, and believes we are soul-mates. And what timing! I received the following email about ten minutes ago. After I cleaned up the Diet Cherry 7-up I spit over my keyboard, (Sorry I.T,) I was fortunate enough …

You don’t need a guy that wanted you back, you deserve a guy who’d never let you go. – J.B. (note: this post was updated after it was written.) I work in a very special branch of the employment pool. I read article after article and claim after claim of people’s feelings getting hurt, and …

The significance of this is overwhelming- yet I’m probably too tired to do it all justice. I closed down all windows, and rested my head on the back of the seat- I wonder if I should write at all. Will this intention end in the graveyards of the wanted, or will it all have meant …

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. …

I think it signifies everything. I opened my jewelry box this evening and there, right on top was the necklace I’ve been missing for weeks. How many times had I opened that box? (At least a dozen.) The necklace was never on top, or, maybe I’ve just been too pre-occupied to see it. There it …

I think that by far, this is probably the best age. We’ve all had our serious relationships, and botched experiments in the dating world- we’ve found what works and what doesn’t, (some of us latebloomers are still finding,) but we have a sense of peace. I’m not 45, ending a diabolical break-up involving Ethan Allen …

 http://vita.mn/tag_detail.php?d=view_responses&show=all&tag_forum_id=625 I can still hear the first notes, sounding like a beacon of hope in the serious, (and pathetic,) dismal past that were my relationships. I hear the motion of his hands touching each string, as if maybe- this was the first time he played that song. Subsequently we based our ‘love’ for each other …

All the blue light reflections that color my mind when I sleep And the lovesick rejections that accompany the company I keep All the razor perceptions that cut just a little too deep Hey I can bleed as well as anyone, but I need someone to help me sleep -CC There are moments of enlightenment. …

For a while, the only thing you’re sure about is the pain you feel, but it gets better, they tell you.  You see it daily- people living out the motions of their daily lives as if nothing is wrong. Maybe they answer a question harsher, or narrow their eyes- the motions have an added edge. …

http://www.zefrank.com/zesblog/archives/2008/06/rational_trigge.html   Most movies today, that are in the action realm, feature stories about characters finding something- be it an ancient cup, some sort of device, or sometimes, even love. We all know the story by heart. Girl meets boy, girl develops feelings with boy, maybe girl sleeps with boy, girl finds happiness with boy, …

Possibly the most heart-wrenching break-up song of all time.  I’ve been a fan of Glen’s since Once- but this is just an example of the amazing emotion he puts in his songs.

See, I’ve been thinking it over It’s all just a little too much You see I’ve got this four leaf clover It’s gotta bring a little luck So I let go of all of the big deals I let go of the bitter dream You see the girl in the pretty white picture Well it’s …

I just had a thought- of the web we’re all involved in, how we all speak to each other, and about each other, and I wonder if all my friends know how much I truly, truly, appreciate and care about them. It’s not easy for someone to open up about something so, terrifyingly sad that …

Ended relationships, are like fish stories. The one that ‘got away’ is always larger in story than in real life, they held more in your heart, they were better, and sweeter now that you remember them. You look at every aspect of them, and your mind numbingly goes over the negative, and clings to the …

I’ve been slipping through the years My old clothes don’t fit like they once did So they hang like ghosts Of the people I’ve been It’s like my heart can’t take My falling in love every day And I feel like a fool -DCFC There’s wonder in opening a new album, discovering new lyrics. You …

I woke up this morning with a hangover, of sorts. I’m not even sure why because hot tea and chicken tenders just don’t do that to bodies… I looked in the mirror.. (Ohmygod.) So I looked in the mirror and let out a bit of a self-pity gasp.. I have enormous bags under my eyes, …

This bridge was written to make you feel smittener with my sad picture of girl getting bitterer… If you’re familiar with the old journal, this quote has popped up more than once, and ironically… as luck sometimes has it, someone goes out the door, and someone comes in. First off- I’m going to say, I’m …
