reflection of a relationship's demise...

Those readers who have been here for awhile know that through the years, particularly while traveling, that I have been in long distance relationships. One, in particular, that spanned half of my time in Japan and the duration of my time in Thailand.

Single now, since March, I find myself in a seesaw during this rejuvenation period. Up: I flirt with the intensity of a million warriors. I understand, respect, and appreciate the freedom of being able to do what I want, when I want, how I want, and with who I want (if I choose to) without the say so from someone else. I also am able to delegate my energy how I see fit. Down: I miss the comfort, support, love, and feeling (yes, that feeling) of one man in my life. I too respect, understand, and appreciate, the comfort of a love, or lover.

Where's the balance?

I'm at a scary point in my life right now. Scary in that, within the next few months my dreams will be coming true on some massive scales. And although I do believe that the women are definitely the natural born multi-taskers of the sexes, I feel as though I'm turning into the issue I had with my ex: not wanting to give over my energy, love, and time. I told him, during the days approaching our demise.

"As an entrepreneur I respect your hustle. As your girlfriend, I hate its guts."

He was a machine. For the woman who juggles a million things at once, including a travel movement, that's a lot to say.

Yet, and still, with the irony of life, I (now) understand more and more where he was in his life because I feel as though I may be there right now. There are guys, two in particular, who have caught my attention. And as much as I'd love to go there with either, there is an apprehension I feel.

I know how deep I fall in love. I know how powerful it is. I know how all consuming it can be and it's becoming daily now that I ask myself if I'm willing to give that type if energy over to a relationship, in any kind of near future.

With that, one would require the long distance component again. I'm used to that set up, but not in the context of having to start off that way. Our foundation would have to be built from two different countries.

A glimpse into my life.

reflection of a previous relationship's demise...

one of those days...

Thinking about you kid...

This is definitely one of the days Tara said I'd have. When no matter how much time has passed, tears have cried, and memories relived, I will still feel the pain of your death.

This song reminds me of you so much and it was the anthem in the city this past summer, so I felt like you were tauntung me. You were :)

Love you Rudi. Help me get through it, please.

happy birthday Rudi...

September 30th will mark the birthday of one of my best friends, Rudi Joseph.

If it wasn't for his untimely death on June 17th, 2010 he would be turning 27 years old this month.

With that, his friend and family are planning a full on weekend celebration in his rememberance.

I wish I could be there, but as you know, I am in Thailand and will traveling back from Cambodia next weekend.

I love you all for organzing, supporting, and keeping his name alive.

Rudi, I feel you kid. Happy Birthday!

my mouth..the vacuum

Get your head out of the gutter.

I have literally been inhaling food over the last three days. I don't really process it, and I'm not quite sure how much I actually chew. The cravings have been through the roof. PMS, ovulation, somrthing has taken ahold of my ass and in three days Ive downed three Snickers bare (I don't even like Snickers), two Thai milkshakes, a 10-sheet of seaweed chips, and a small vanilla swirl cake from 7-11.

It took me a long time, during losing my nearly sixty pounds to trust my cravings, especially during this time. As a woman, our body just goes through shit, monthly and it's better I eat the desired number of Snickers than for me to eat every other damn thing in the house in it's place.

PMS'd out, celibate, and living solely off chocolate and crap for the last three days...the saga continues...

Just when I am approaching my twenty-seventh birthday. My mother is so lucky...

the 15th journal...

I am approaching the finishing pages of my 15th journal.I have the last decade of my life on paper.

I go through a process when it comes to journals. When I choose a new one, I think about what events are going to fill its pages. Where am I when i start it? Where will I be when it ends?

This 15th journal has taken me through the widest spectrum thus far.

Through it's pages, I wrote through the beginning of a brand new relationship, the death of one of my best friends, the departure, and eventual arrival in Thailand.

When I bought this journal, in a textile shop in Jaipur, India I never imagined that it would house one of the most traumatic experiences I'd have in my life, thus far. Rudi has been on my mind a lot the last few days.

My upcoming Nomad•ness video will delve into that a bit deeper. His birthday is September 30th. The day my visa in Thailand runs out. The conclusion of the 9th month. Twenty-seven years after one of my best friends was born.

I love you Rudi. Spin in Peace.

just because...

I do, and he's dope.
