How to tell if you need a little vacation.

Most people are pretty selfish, sneaky, and rude. Awful.
I love the totalness of blanket statements.

I don't really believe it. At least, I don't want to believe it.
Maybe we're in a season of mean-ness. Maybe I've lost tolerance for bad behaviour. I don't know what it is.

It just seems that common courtesy has disappeared, and you get burned when you try to stand up for it. You get burned when you try to use it.

I struggle to do what is right and good. I try to figure it out and do the best thing. A lot of the time I fail at that, but something is learned in the process...I hope.

It makes me crazy when people just do whatever the fuck they want, and then shrug it off with a whisper of apology.

I wish there was a response other than "It's okay."
Sometimes it's not okay.

A week in the english countryside sounds amazing right now. I bet even the sheep and the cows have basic manners there.

beautiful moon.

Last night's moon was a beautiful moon.

I was walking up the hill when I noticed it, all at once I wished I had someone to call and say: "Look at the moon, it's a beautiful moon."
There is intimacy in tiny observations.
I stood for a minute and looked at it. Then I got bored. Some things are really great all on your own, but sometimes they are better with two.

I hope you saw it anyway. And I hope you thought it was a beautiful moon.
Because it was.
