I'm such a softie
I have to say, I really enjoy the simple things about the season, especially the pervasive cheerfulness that seeps in if you let it. On Christmas Eve, I stopped by Walgreens for batteries and ended up standing in line behind the meanest customer ever; she looked like she was getting off on ruining the cashier's day. When she finally left, I got my ( Read more... ) -
Malaise (not a title, just the feeling)
Familiar foreboding,
the uncomfortable certainty
of chasing a shadow
sliding toward the door.
Not a step forward--
I couldn't

"My soul and my aching bones"
So I'm sitting here blissfully sore, and I remember yet another reason why I love dance so much. No matter how bruised or battered my soul is, dance class will fix it. One hour of being a blank puppet, filled with no other consciousness but the music and the choreography. By the time I leave, with thighs burning and aching bones (hey, I'm not ( Read more... ) -
Growing pains
So, the title of my journal implies undergoing some changes, and my userpic is as heavy-handed symbolism as there is. What changes? Well, nothing but the banal of course: moving into the next phase of my life.
Well, for a while, my life was actually pretty interesting, mainly because I moved to the USA from Europe back in high school--without my ( Read more... ) -
So this is the beginning...
or maybe the end, who knows. I seem to be in the midst of many changes, with the expected growing pains. And so, I'm here, and it seems this time I actually have something to say ( Read more... )
