a bit on the cheesy side 2

"Follow your bliss" may be by now made into one of the cheesiest self-help phrases there is, but it has it's merits.As in:

"(...)if you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. When you can see that, you begin to meet people who are in your field of bliss, and they open doors to you. I say, follow your bliss and don't be afraid, and doors will open where you didn't know they were going to be."
Joseph Campbell, "The Power of Myth" (the book)

I knew I liked Mr.Campbell for a reason.

some self-comforting cheesiness required

"(...)there's a spark in you, you just gotta ignite the light, and let it shine (...)"
'Firework' lyrics

filtering

Thought-to-mouth filter is so important. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for spontaneous behavior but you can't just go around blabbering everything that comes into your mind, or passing on every piece of info you hear without it costing you something. And sometimes the something may be precious.

the curly complexity

She was an unhappy, mildly-yet-unpredictably-wavy-haired child of curly haired parents. She could never properly make up her hair in curls as she's been never taught how.She figured the only way to go was to straighten them fully, not that she loved the effect at all.

morning converations with the humankind

'Ooh! You're wearing a pentagram!'- A. shouts whisperingly, her slightly scandalized tone for a moment overcoming the noise of a bustling locker room.
'Yes'- A pause- 'We get them all the time for killing babies.'- I deadpan, but the brilliancy of my comment goes unnoticed in all of the surrounding  commotion. I don't know whether to be glad or disappointed.

botched promise of a new day

She's been always full of promise. She was also full of shit though, and these two seemed to cancel each other out.

workable if new: the seating arrangement

Okay so ppl walking back 'n forth behind my back annoy the crap outta me, and not really because I don't want them to see my screen- which is a factor as well- but mostly because  I've been paranoid since forever and feel endangered whenever I can't control what's going on behind me.

That being said, if the final result is being seated in front of the window, with all of it's majestic splendor displayed daily in high def, then I'm game and very much so.

URU

"Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is youer than you."
Dr. Seuss

'można' to nie to co 'trzeba'

Dobija mnie wszechobecny kult szeropojętego retuszu. W prasie, rzeczywistości, "w myśli, w mowie w sercu" normalnie. I nie, nie mam nic przeciwko fotografii manipulowanej artystycznie, czy usunięciu pryszcza z nosa celebrytce (albo tym bardziej mnie). Ale na Hefajstosa, nie wszystko trzeba zretuszować, nawet jeśli- a może nawet tym bardziej dlatego że- się da. Ugh.
