Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so you apologize for truth. Benjamin Disraeli
Whether the person knows you exist or not, whether your apology is significant to them or not-when you have done something wrong or spoken out of turn. Whether you hurt their feelings or they didn’t even notice… You should make what was wrong, right. By words then deeds after. Â Even …

I had nothing to offer anybody except my own confusion. ~Jack Kerouac
I’ve done it again. I’ve done it repeatedly . I don’t know what to write about because what I would like to write about I can’t. It isn’t a good idea to write about work. It just isn’t. However much I wish I could have written about all the interesting …

It is true life flashes before your eyes

Emily in my old Emily the Strange cat jacket, a photo by jyllianm on Flickr. I saved this and saved this because I hoped in the back of my mind I’d have a daughter who could wear it one day. I wore this in my 20s. Obviously I was smaller …

She asked how it works
She asked how it work, a photo by jyllianm on Flickr. It’s funny when you think about it. Some things just aren’t around anymore, things I took for granted the Bean has never really seen. Until we went to a vintage furniture store. And it was an odd and somehow …

This wretched brain gave way, and I became a wreck at random driven, without one glimpse of reason or heaven. Thomas More
Ah where do I start, first…how about Hello. Yes I fell off the planet again. I do that here’s why. I’ve forgotten how to say things without censoring every other word. I can’t talk about politics because I’ll offend a friend. I can’t vent about certain parts of my life …
