At Peace.

It looks so peaceful, doesn't it? But how is one to know what currents are pounding around under the surface.

I heart YOU

I have a crush.

A hugemongous crush on you.

I hear your name, and can't help but smile and think about crazy and happy memories. Every time I see you, is like the first time, or is it? I don't remember our first encounter; I know I was very young, probably impressionable. They say you never forget your first love; I think they're right.

As an adult, though, why do I love thee? Even with all the negative comments of others, even friends? I love you because I know what you mean to me. I love you because I love the way I feel around you. You make me feel as though there are no limits, I can do and be anything or anyone I dare dream to be. I love you because you make me feel alive, hungry, thirsty, overwhelmed, exhausted, and desperate for more in just an instant.

I love you because you're unique, and you make me unique. I love you because you're old and young. You're calm and wild. I love you because of your history and your future. I love you because you live in me.

I have a crush.

A hugemongous crush on you, New York New York...

Where the hell am I?

I'm either in a slump, a rut, a deep dark hole, or all of the above. Bleh. I hate depressing statements. I seem to want a million things, but go after none at all; what's up with that? I'm tired of sharing earth with all these people, I wish they went away.

It's been a real challenge thinking coherently as of late. My thoughts, as well as my attention span, seems to be constantly drifting away.

But, can anything change by doing everthing the same way?
