I want to go back to the time where I was drowsy, peeking out the car window in China, while the sun was beating down my leopard print pink tights.* Or when I was in the van on the way to JFK the morning we left for Florida. I want to go back to that moment wherein I traced the silhouette of the lightning bolts against the windows of the bus from Philly into NYC that summer night. I thought we’d outrun the thunder clouds. Nimbus? Cumulonimbus. We did, but half an hour later, the rain eventually caught up to us in the streets of Manhattan as we ran looking for transportation with our bags.
*I was six years old and visiting China for the first and only time.

Carrie and Miranda’s fight, around 1:50. This completely parallels my two confrontations this weekend. I’m obviously Miranda. They’re both correct, they both need to hear it. Sex and the City, ftw.

When we want to give expression to a dramatic situation in our lives, we tend to use metaphors of heaviness. We say that something has become a great burden to us. We either bear the burden or fail and go down with it. We struggle with it, win or lose.
Her drama was a drama not of heaviness, but of lightness. What fell to her lot was not the burden, but the unbearable lightness of being.

What a lovely way to describe the state of not giving two shits about anything.

I’ve stayed up past 4AM for the past week. Little sleep. Work, editing, and nonsensical things. What a (four day) weekend. Confrontations, visits from Asian family members, about seven bags and boxes of cookies. Dinner, conversations, crying on the kitchen floor.
And then…tomorrow.

I watch Gossip Girl and probably own a menagerie's worth of shoes. I like oatmeal and lentils, though not together. Karl Marx is probably one of my favorite reads, but you'll find Star magazines properly situated next to the toilet in my apartment. I'll have a master's degree under my belt at the age of 22. It's both revitalizing and heartbreaking to understand the pedagogical difficulties when Maslow's hierarchy of needs has several voids in it.
If you ask me what my plans are, or invite me to do something this summer, I'll respond with, "ideally, I'll be out of the country."
