".. for 8 months, no more than that, a year, I sat in a cafe, drank coffee and wrote nonsense in a journal; then suddenly it was not nonsense .."
(Sabrina, 1995)

“I saw my life branching out before me like the green fig tree in the story. From the tip of every branch, like a fat purple fig, a wonderful future beckoned and winked. One fig was a husband and a happy home and children, and another fig was a famous poet and another fig was a brilliant professor, and another fig was Ee Gee, the amazing editor, and another fig was Europe and Africa and South America, and another fig was Constantin and Socrates and Attila and a pack of other lovers with queer names and offbeat professions, and another fig was an Olympic lady crew champion, and beyond and above these figs were many more figs I couldn’t quite make out. I saw myself sitting in the crotch of this fig tree, starving to death, just because I couldn’t make up my mind which of the figs I would choose. I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest, and, as I sat there, unable to decide, the figs began to wrinkle and go black, and, one by one, they plopped to the ground at my feet.”

From The Bell Jar, Sylvia Plath

“You’re a saint now, is that what you’re telling me, Eddie? You’re a bleeding saint cause you give us an even break?… That’s as it should be! You try and understand that. It’s rights, it’s not privileges, it’s that easy, it really bloody is.”

So simple and yet so difficult.

My mama just sent me this photo of my Oma (left) and two of her sisters.

It makes me very happy/sad.

Sad that she is gone.

Happy that I am the grandaughter of such a beautiful and inspiring woman.

A Saturday morning where I can leisurely scroll through my tumblr dashboard

is a good morning;  shows I’m relaxed enough to take time out to indulge in what I love, a little.  Moments of that are few and far between lately :)

Does anyone else wonder if Nick Griffin has been secretly hired by the Civil Service just to get people active and interested in politics? Cos it’s working.

Kinda like the twins on X-Factor…

And so easily it comes back to you; not when you planned it to, not even when you were thinking it might; just a quiet moment as it flows back into your veins and you feel again that part of you which for so long had been sleeping.

Lesson learned

If you buy a multipack of snacksize cadbury’s buttons ‘to snack on at uni for the next few weeks’, you WILL end up eating them all in the space of 2 days..
