Hmm. I should try this....

‎"You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no other choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet." -Kafka

Good Advice

Had a really good conversation with my sweet friend Jessica this morning. She just got married to a lovely man from France, so that's where she lives now. It was so good to hear her voice. She said a lot of things this morning that really stuck with me, but one thing stood out in particular. We were talking about relationships, and she said, "Never fall in love with a man for his potential." I stopped her and told her I was writing that one down! It made me think. I definitely have been guilty of this, and it really is quite silly.

Made me think of the quote, "When a person shows you who they are, believe them."

In other news, my 2nd wedding anniversary is coming up in 4 days. I'm starting to feel some pretty intense anxiety about it. Trying to figure out how to navigate through that day without too much heartache....or I guess make sure I'm not going to make it any harder on myself.

I'm in a weird mood today....

...I also would really like to ride a camel in Morocco someday.
