This week has seen an upheaval. I'm glad it's over, but starting a new week cannot erase new concerns or ideas.
I'm "home for the holidays" and I guess there's no place like it. Nothing quite like my mom sleeping a lot, me watching movies from the library, and getting a chance to see my friends (i.e., Nora). So I have a lot of time to think and to find ways to avoid thinking.

I am sure that many of the world's greatest love affairs never had a fighting chance because of distance.

Sometimes when you forgive people
You really wish you hadn't
Because even though it's a virtuous act,
They never deserved it in the first place.
And it's comical now,
How you loved them
Amusing that you cared
Because you were braver and better
Than they have ever even dared
to
be

Because you had to put up with it.
