We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I’m standing there
On a balcony of summer air
On nights like these, when my hand is this close to reaching out, I think of all the things that have stayed it. A woman once wrote that the best advice she had ever [...]

and all my words come back to me in shades of mediocrity

This morning I woke up after six hours of sleep. I had a splitting headache and my liver was protesting its recent abuse. Grumpy at being so rudely awoken, I sat up in bed and wondered what it was that had bugged me so much that it woke me up. It took a few minutes [...]
i know this much is true

I’m not a naturally optimistic person. For me, the glass is half-empty, the silver lining looks more like lead and if this is the best of all possible worlds, I don’t see how that’s a good thing. So yeah, really, I’m great to hang out with. =)
But I flew to Adelaide lately, by myself, and [...]

If you leave, don’t leave now
Please don’t take my heart away
Promise me just one more night
Then we’ll go our separate ways
We always had time on our sides
Now it’s fading fast
Every second every moment
We’ve gotta make it last
I touch you once, I touch you twice
I won’t let go at any price
I need you now like I [...]
let me remind you, the light doesnt blind you at all, it just helps you see…can you see?

Every so often I have to remind myself that life and fate are not like the barter trade. I can’t tell some great cosmos out there that ‘I’ll give you this if you let me stay here in melbourne’ or ‘I would give this up if you let me be happy’. I wish it was [...]

It’s about this moment.
Sitting in the living room of carina’s apartment, calling her couch my home for the night, the glow from my laptop fillng this small circle that has become my being. I am neither here nor there. I feel the strangeness of it, the shangrilas singing ‘leader of the pack’ spilling out from [...]

Riding a bus through the outskirts of Salzburg, I remember watching the tiny villages with the stone walls and boxed hedges pass by in a blur and the thought struck me that there are hundreds of places in the world in which to disappear. The idea hung in my mind, glittering like a cursed diamond, [...]
what did you gain?

Pain. You can’t outrun it. And life always makes more.

What I have learned is that loss never really goes away. It fades into the background because real life takes precedence. Paying bills, breakfasts with friends, packing clothes, throwing away old things, if we could sum life up in just three words, they would [...]

I’ve been reading my old blog the whole evening and enjoying myself way too much.
It’s entertaining and saddening and emofying all at once and on some level, it’s also absolutely disheartening because for some reason, it is far more interesting than this blog.
When did my writing become so restrained?
