You tell me to

Well, yeah.
But I'm not so bold as to act.
Am I?

Is it just me

or is it almost universal....this face?
The face you get when something gets poured over your head: you're mad, you're shocked, and for some odd reason, it's funny for just a split second?

If they could put that emotion in a bottle and sell it, we'd all be druggies.

Lately, I am realizing

I don't consider myself a people-pleaser, I am a people-lover.
But the more I try to show people I care, the more disconnected I am from the true, real relationships.

I miss depth.
I miss love coming back.
I may know names and wave and smile, but who invests in my heart?

I wonder, I wander, I flicker out...

Yes, sir?

Feel free.
And, are you serious?

When I was younger

I thought I was part cat. I still kind of do.
But I no longer crawl around on my hands and knees and rub against peoples' legs when we have company.

But anyway- I've always loved Cat woman. She did her own thing. You never really knew if she was truly "the bad guy." She had ambivalent feelings. Batman could sometimes mess with her emotions.
I could understand her.

Everyone is human (except for those of us who are part cat. Be jealous.)

Both are newborns.

The one on the right- 19.2 lbs.
Born in Indonesia to a 41-year-old woman who has diabetes.
He was delivered, praise God, by a Caesarean section.


Ouch.

Brilliant.

I forgot what drizzly weather was like until recently.

And now I hope...

Buuuut, at least I can wear my new hoodie.
I've only ever bought, like, 2 hoodies in my life. This hoodie is a big deal, ya'll.
And people who happen to touch me usually say I am so warm.
Like I am a portable heater.
So a chilly day is welcome, in my book.

Bring the rain, then the sun will shine brighter.

Chaaaaaarrrrrlie!

This explains it all...

Down the road

life can be so frickin' good.

I want my future home

to be an enjoyable place.









...Maybe not like this....exactly.

mmm.Gag.

Gaggity-gag-gag.

That little something.

It helps a person get through a day.
Whether it be a song, an animal, a person or a dog fanny pack- we all need those little goofy things that bring us back to center.

I've needed them more than usual lately, and have had people there to supply them.
I am more appreciative than they know.

They are beautiful, odd people.

They are my friends.

And I'm always reminded

Focus.....focus.

This shouldn't be like this.
Keep moving, keep going.
Keep breathing, keep beating.
You're fine. You're OK.
You know what's important.
I believe in you.

These days come and go.

Who are you?

And what makes you tick?
Time slips and I am captive.
Captivated.
Trying to be articulate.
Articulated.
Forgetting I was jaded.

Run with it.

Radiate.

Let off all of your colors.
We are all different.

It's lovely, isn't it?

Let it out.

Shine off.
Dazzle and sparkle.
Live for this day.
Live for life, your light.

My world has sorta turned upside down.

And you know nothing of it.

Reflective.

Respectful.
Intrigued.
Waiting?
Interested.

Home?

Where have you gone? I hardly saw you this summer.
Hope you're doing well.
Miss you.
Love,
Kate

Great Deal!

'Ello, Govna!

How do I show you

that you are special when I feel so shy around you?
It's been awhile, and I feel like I may be failing. But I don't want to.
You're intriguing. For once, I'm tongue-tied.
I'm here. You can approach me.

I just feel you're untouchable.
