"...I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn't quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn't make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet." ~Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar, Chapter 7.
I'm a lucky person. Things in life are slowly starting to unveil themselves to me, maybe I can even go out on a limb and say it's all starting to make a little bit of sense. All that it comes down to now is that I'm content and ultimately happy. I think once you dig up that part of your life, then the rest will unfold in due time. Now all I have to do is be patient, be optimistic, keep my chin up and continue on with this gut feeling that I'll get everything I want in the end. I deserve it.

My Interests

The love child, "Meeker Cat".

I'd like to meet:

"Courage is more exhilarating than fear and in the long run it is easier. We do not have to become heroes over night. Just a step at a time, meeting each thing that comes up, seeing it is not as dreadful as it appeared, discovering we have the strength to stare it down." -Eleanor Roosevelt

Flowers in Her Hair.

Life As We Know It

It's strange to think about life. What we know of it. Why we're here, and if this is how we're all supposed to be living it. Sitting on my rooftop, I'm asked my thoughts on how strange it ...
