loneliness

When I get lonely these days, I think: So BE lonely, Liz. Learn your way around loneliness. Make a map or it. Sit with it, for once in your life. Welcome to the human experience. But never again use another person's body or emotions as a scratching post for your own unfulfilled yearnings.

Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat Pray Love, page 68

Avocado

Now that you have entered my book
What should I call you, boy? Avocado?
You see, I’m not sure how I feel right now
But you give me that look
It’s almost unreal
It’s almost unreal


a memento,
with appreciation to Roxette, Almost Unreal
