daring to eat the food at a dive.

Sometimes

Sometimes we are like cabbage.

We stink. Seriously. We really do sometimes. In more ways than one. Think about it.

Also, like cabbage, we have so much potential when we're planted. And despite so many obstacles we grow. But we have all the scars to prove it: damn cabbage butterflies and their maggoty-worm babies. And thus we can be really bitter too.

Or not.

And like cabbage, there's something just so beautiful at the core of almost every one of us if only we can shed this skin and open ourselves up to the sun and stop being so damn afraid of everything about this messed-up, devastating, dazzle-bonkers wonder-of-a-world of ours.

But then what? How does the series end? We end up coleslaw.

Bummer.

Still, if you think about it--coleslaw, like life, is darn tasty stuff when you can get it and while it lasts.

This is my hood.

We broke up.

A. Long. Time. Ago.

But we might get back together?

Circus

“Find your circus.” ~Jessica Hagy

We humans seem to always be running. 

There are things people run FROM in life:

1. Big spiders.

2. Liver and onions.

3. Buckley’s cough syrup.

4. Public speaking.

5. Not feeling wanted.

6. Obnoxiousness.

7. People who tell us the truth.

8. Overdue bills.

9. A job we hate.

10. Waiting in line.

11. Negative people.

12. Violence.

13. Racism.

14. War.

15. People who swear to do something about everything that’s wrong but they never do.

16. People who lie.

17. Cleaning toilets.

18. Mice.

19. Diets.

20. And countless others.

And there are things people run TOWARD in life:

Ice-cream, cute people, the beach, the liquor store, etc, etc...Too many to count. But above all...that which doesn't feel like work. And what does that add up to? Your “circus.”

Dear people not yet grown-up (age 18-81), 

Have you determined what your circus is yet? Find that enjoyable thing and those enjoyable people living their dreams and then you’ll find your circus and then the running won’t seem so exhausting anymore.
