“I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells.

 Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living.

It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope.

 Which is what I do....

And that enables you to laugh at life's realities.”

-Dr.Seuss-

"We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. 

We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race & the human race is filled with passion. 

And medicine,law, business,engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. 

But poetry, beauty, romance, love......

 THESE are what we stay alive for. "

-Dead Poets Society-

I dont post often enough. I dont post at all actually. And as I sit here, with my 1st cold of the season, 

I realize it's b/c I dont really want to. 

See, if you look at my posts, weeks, months pass w/o a post. I assure you plenty has happened & yes, the thought always crosses my mind "i really wanna write about this" but then....it passes. Would you like to know why. It's because I actually talk about my experiences with my friends. Be it in person, phones, txts, IM's, I tell someone. I share my story with an individual, usually someone I heart. Not a website. Not "dead-air". 

This led me to think. 

It's who I am. How I am. 

I AM a people person. I thrive on interaction. 

I'm emotional, irrational. I'm silly & childish. I'm a dreamer, I romanticize. 

I pay attention to the little things & believe a smile is worth more than anything.

I am stronger than what I appear to be.

I value my sincerity ,honesty, & empathy 

I am how I am
