(best roommate ever)

-------

"Sometimes I wonder about my life. I lead a small life - well, valuable, but small - and sometimes I wonder, do I do it because I like it, or because I haven't been brave? So much of what I see reminds me of something I read in a book, when shouldn't it be the other way around?" Kathleen Kelly, You've Got Mail

For someone who loves to write and is entranced by the written word, I am constantly frustrated at how hard I find it to put how I am feeling into words.  That's why I am so thankful for the genius of others and masterpieces such as You've Got Mail where I can garner bits of wisdom and put them on my blog so that others can read them and understand a little bit of the mess that is me.  Oi.  Sometimes I am weary from living vicariously through stories in books and movies and brave friends.  And yet, at the same time, I am terrified of having my own adventures, terrified I will fall short or crumble under the weight of the unknown.  Hmm, just a thought for the day...

At the expense of relating to a fictional character once again (although I can't really complain because Kathleen Kelly is awesome and who the heck wouldn't want to be her?!), maybe I will find myself a witty and adorable mystery man who also happens to be rich though I don't care with whom I correspond over email and meanwhile open my own book shop. Now that's a good sounding adventure. BEST PLAN EVER.

  4. Same here...I love writing, I just can't put how I feel into words. Idk, maybe I just don't want people to know how I feel.
    You only have so much time...have as many adventures as you can!
