How To Be Alone (via andyradorfman)

A video made to the poem How To Be Alone by Tanya Davis

This is my new mantra!

After a month of bear traps, this is much needed inspiration.

I just had to lose all my credit cards the night before the Barclay’s bike scheme hit London.

Blergh! Such a bear trap!

I accomplished a childhood dream in September by finally visiting Mont St. Michel. The Mont lies on the border between Normandy and Brittany, France. After reading about it in the margins of my World History textbook during my high school freshman year, I knew that it was the one place in the entire world that I wanted to see more than anything.

I can’t tell you how exhilarating it was to run up and down along the ramparts.

I felt alot like Rapunzel in this photo. If only I had cascades of long hair to throw down to the crashing waves below…

“I spend my days making myself smaller, more acceptable. ..And that’s okay because at night when I go on stage, I get to experience the world the way I feel it … with indescribable rage and unbearable sadness and huge passion. At night on stage, I get to kill the waiter and dance on his grave. And if I can’t do that, If all I have left is a life of making myself smaller, then I don’t want to live. I don’t. And believe me, honey, you don’t want me to live.” Opera Singer, Grey’s Anatomy.

In the past year, I’ve finally felt (honestly) comfortable and confident with myself, so much so that more and more I’m finding it harder to accept the practice of making myself smaller and more acceptable to others.

I’m finally comforted by my life mantra of being fearless, of trying things, or attempting things simply because I’m curious without shame or self-consciousness. The world, I’ve found, is my stage. I have not one particular craft that lets me express myself better than the way I present myself through my story.

My life is my best artwork, and I’ve finally come to terms with the fact that it will probably never fit into conventionality. I can’t believe that I once felt so repressed and confined by those laws set by others in society. I don’t know why it took me this long to honestly feel okay with breaking those laws. Before, it was always just making a statement. Now, it’s really me just being me.

And let me tell you, it feels really, really good.

It’s all about getting (and staying) in touch!!!

Lately, I’ve been reaching out to very special people in my life that I have lost touch with in the last few years.

My best friend in Kindergarten was a Japanese foreign student who spoke no English. After that year, she returned to Tokyo, and until we were 18, we wrote letters to each other and sent care packages. She learned English, and would visit her cousins in NY (and consequently, me) and I took Japanese in high school to eventually be able to visit her.

Well, after graduating high school, I moved around … a lot… and lost touch with tons of people. Since I’m finally making it to Asia, I dropped her line. When a few weeks passed of radio silence, I assumed she moved. Alas! SHE WAS ON VACATION!
