seem to matter, mere bubbles on the deep blue glass of the center, still save for the clouds that occasionally throw their shadows down onto the surface. And somehow, the sweaty, hollow "pat-pat" of sneakers on gravel enhances the autumn leaves wet from the rain getting smashed to a pulp on the path around the resevoir. Somehow...

And...the faltering flirtations of a boy are met with the self-assurance of a girl sitting on the desk pretending to be genuinely interested while he, talking with his hands, is unaware, lost in her lilting voice and hair tosses,

a new day

Tue Jan 20, 2009, 8:23 AM

so its been a super long time since i've done one of these
its been a super long time since i've submitted anything actually
but i discovered something fantastic today
the most liberating thing in the world
is not to care
id been freaking out, tossing whys over in my head for months about my break-up...and now i just dont care anymore
its incredibly freeing
today is a beautiful day...president obama is getting sworn in...my country finally has a future in this world
this is much more important than petty arguments and relationships
the world is changing and i am a living part of it
