Thoughts from a Barcelona balcony

FUCK fairy tales and your "one true love" fall in love 100 times over. Give yourself repeatedly until there is no more of you to give. Open yourself up to the universe and receive what it gives. Take that blind leap of faith into the unknown - you've known you're known - and where has that brought you? Live for yourself. Quit your job and move to Italy. Quit your job and work your passion. Talk to strangers as if you've known them for years - most of them are not so strange. Tell your kids you love them and they can do whatever they want in the world - because you do, and they can. Give money to a homeless person, but look them in the eye when you do it. You may be surprised what's worth more. Listen to that little, nagging, voice coming from deep within, that is your soul telling you what you want. Regress to your childhood. Throw a tantrum - it's the most natural form of frustration. Laugh it off. There's no point in holding onto something that is not holding on to you. Open yourself up to anything. Money is not a bubble. It will not protect you from death. It will protect you from living. Don't be angry at other people when you are really only angry at yourself. Keep yourself up at night worrying that you are wrong and nothing is connected and we're all just floating. Ask yourself WHAT IS THIS? Tell yourself THE OTHER HALF OF THIS. Be Free. Be You.

the good and the bad
the evil and the vulnerable
we all meet for coffee
on las ramblas

}{

i like walking las ramblas
to blend into existence
it doesn't matter where i am from
or where i am going
i am there
we are here

}{

you know more than you care to let on

turning a cold shoulder to those in the shade

i believe you are as fragile as an uncooked egg

crack.
