hiccups

so maybe i'm a little nervous right now.
this cool girl started following my blog. and that's really flattering and all, but i have nothing to say! she writes this crazy amazing stuff, and finds lovely photos and rather enjoys laying on the grass with her friends and grass makes me itch- i require a blanket- which takes the novelty and life out of it don't you think?
the pressure is on.
i've just already lived the moment when she realizes that my ramblings are just that, stops following my nonsense and i crawl away wounded. that was the worst sentence ever! see??? oh dear.

does any one else have a constant struggle between witty, hilarious writing and sweet, unique writing and just plain old documenting your life? i am plagued by this in nearly every post. i want to write things worth reading, to me and the reader, but those two don't always coincide. i want to record my days and the things that matter to me like the stars and my feelings about birds and that i like thick carpet- but in a way that entices others.

Karlee, Karlee, Karlee...

If something strikes passion in you then you will write passionately.

If something moves you to write then it will be moving to others.

If something sways your soul to breathe deeply and jump in with both feet, then others will be pulled in with you.

But if someone judges you for this . or for that , or even for a ; then he or she has never truly fallen in love with words. And what a sad existence to never experience that love affair -- and that, my dear, is not something you can fix, nor is it something you should be burdened with.

Ohhh no. I have a feeling you're talking about, well, me?

Holy shit, I'm falttered, but...

I still have my oh-my-god-SHE'S-following-ME moments, I know how it feels. I just never imagined I'd ever be the one causing all that excitement. Wow. Incredible.

And I love your blog.

:) You are a total excitment causer!

love after love

The time will come when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say
sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger
who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread.
Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life...

Take down the love
letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs,
the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit.
Feast on your life.

~Derek Walcott
