"I feel like I'm actually sharing my life with someone in ways I never have before. It's alien and engrossing and amazing and unbelievable. It's strange. It's wonderful. It's totally blindsided me."

"My father died on November 14th, 1995, when I was 14. Every day since the day he died I am one day farther away from him than I was before. This is the truest thing about me. It is the most important and worst thing to ever happen to me. It is me. My father died when I was 14. I will tell people this forever. It is the truest thing about me. I was 14 when he died. My father. I was 14. I am what I have lost." —Marie Lyn Bernard

He asked me today if I'm happy. I said as long as I'm looking forward, not looking back. There's still so much hurt in his eyes and remorse in mine.

We do a lot of sitting in silence these days, watching, touching, grazing, gazing into each other, being. Just being. We've spent so many years talking. So many long years. But we'd never touched each other's skin, felt the ways the shape of our faces changed in the palms of our hands when we smiled. Or laughed. Or kissed.

After much deliberation (and finding the perfect spot to camp completely by ourselves in the mountains nestled right between two beautiful and fast flowing rivers) Mike and I have decided we're never coming home.

It's funny how profoundly your priorities can shift when absolutely necessary. It's not funny how easily your deepest passions can be bumped down the list. I should always make room and time for these things, even and especially if they're not lucrative.
Read More"The Erotic Photos of Rebecca Tillett" /
The effect of 'alienating' is amplified when these naked women populate the interior of an everyday kitchen or a bathroom, seemingly unsuitable places to take them. There is always an element that creates imbalance in these photos, which pushes the eye to be hung on a detail, provocative, ironic, unsettling, depending on the choice of the artist, or simply preparing the viewer.

"Since voicing all of these things, saying them out loud to a friend, I feel like I'm seeing him and my life with him through clearer glasses. Or at least I'm trying to approach this life without constant comparisons to my last one."

I wish I could just come home and make everything alright for you. I wish I wouldn't regret not taking a chance and wonder for years ahead if I did that. I wish we were better for each other. I wish this journey I've taken to get some questions answered for myself wasn't hurting you so deeply in the process. I wish I'd realized how much you loved me when we were together. I wished I'd felt it.

Sometimes you have to follow your stupid fucking heart even when it feels like it's dragging you through the mud, through the darkest depths of Hell with no promise of emerging, when it completely betrays you and everything you've ever known or believed to be true about your life now and in the days to come.

Everything dead is reborn and the transition is startling. Instantly stagnant blood is coursing through me, my heart is beating with purpose and my entire body feels like a sponge.

I have so many funny and heartwarming stories about this cat. He made all 5 apartments and houses he shared with us over the last 12 years a home and I'm completely devastated by this news.

I see you on the horizon,
always just beyond reach
15 years and 1
2 years and 8
Medium term
My life is seasons of you
and seasons without.
Where have you been,
Where did you go,
I wanna rest my palms on your ribs
I wanna feel your chest pressed up against my back
I've survived this dust bowl
Your ocean colliding with my shores
Warmed contently by a rolling fog
Obscuring everything but each other

The unsurprising consequences of my recent huge life decisions collided with me this weekend and the haunting emotion that accompanied the encounter first drained me of self-assurance then filled me with fear and doubt. And sadness. I'm a fairly smart woman but sometimes I can't predict how these things will affect me until they do. And then I drown in it because I never anticipated swimming.

Time said: with me, everything's easier. Like my distorted silhouette spilling from the bottoms of my feet at sunset on a warm sunny day - never faltering and consistently comforting that the laws of nature haven't changed. Safety in knowing some things never waiver. Never. Some things are always there.

Let's escape the dreary cities, birds of ill omen with fragmented wings and drenched in far too many lost and unfulfilled incarnations, tired and broken people. Overabundance of souls just looking to infect you with their incurable cancers and insincere laughter.
