"A Place For My Head"

It's been a while, yeah I know. I've had to take some time and reevaluate some things. Nothing major, just the little things in life you sometimes have to think twice about. Been a bit of a whirlwind time I've had. So many things to do, so many plans I've been wanting to put in motion, but they all take time and consideration. I can reveal a little bit about something I've been working on.

A short story project. Still in the early stages, with one finished story and a couple on the drawing board. Trying to figure out how they fit together... Like puzzle pieces, and it's exciting to figure out these connections. I feel like my creativity is slowly coming back to me again, piece by piece. When I write, my creative flow comes and it's terribly fun. It's also hard work, because it takes time and energy to let these stories in my head be put into a document. Sometimes new story ideas pop up when I'm writing one kind, and I'm sort of an impulsive person so it's hard not to just jump ship and start on a new adventure. In the end, I'm enjoying writing, and I've also started revisiting some of my old stuff to see what can be salvaged from them. What a difference a couple of years make when you look back on an old project.

I don't know if I will show some of this on the blog, or just show snippets of it. Maybe neither, but one thing is certain. I'm writing, and it feels good.

Love + Blessings

Confused

Maybe, there's a reason for all the pain. Maybe not? But what I know for sure, is that we can't take it all at once. I tried to be the good person, to give of myself, in the right way. Without hurting any one, or myself. I know I am not perfect, in any way. No one is. Really.  But, I also find it hard to imagine a world where there is less pain.

Angsty teen

I love looking at things I've written a decade ago - am I really getting that old? Then, some times you come across  a poem where you wonder what was going through you at the time. You can't really remember what brought you to that place where the poem came from. To be honest, I remember being an angsty teen and really focused on the bad things that were happening in my life, but still I can't remember who I wrote this about. I honestly always draw from my own experiences in life so this must have meant something to me. For the life of me, I wish I could remember. I published the following very short poem online in 2003: --- What can I say, to make it all better? What can I do, to make it last forever? What can I see, that you don't in me? ---- I find it funny now, that I could be so completely lost in someone to write such a poem. Yet, I think it comes with the territory of being a teenager. You obsess and worry and wonder why love hasn'

"Dancin' Away With My Heart"

So - I see a lot of people "dreading" the coming Valentine's Day... Honestly, I couldn't care less about this day. When I was in a long term relationship I'll admit that I, in the beginning, expected my partner to get me something on Valentine's Day. I soon realized that it didn't mean as much as when he just surprised me on an ordinary day with something out of the ordinary. In reality, Valentine's Day has nothing to do with love or appreciation. It's a corporately structured "holiday" where industries try to put an emphasis on one day where your partner "should" show his appreciation for you. Why would it matter on this particular day and less on other days? Ridiculous... Okay, I'll level with you guys. I believe in true love. Yeah I know what you're gonna say. Blah blah, women believe in true love and they always have. They want that knight in shining armour to come rescue them and won't give anything less than
