No photos.
No visuals.
You've got to do this on your own.
Picture IT.
Whatever IT is for you.
No time to be shy.
Give it a try.
For god's sake, don't ask why.
Been a rough day...a date no one will ever forget.
The need to move on is paramount.
Survival of the fittest.
Who said, "Never look back?"
Who cares?
Vampire scares.
What's up with that?
Have we stooped so low?
Biting, sucking, blood driven urges.
Malls, shopping, eating, primping in mirrors.
Splurges.
Don't give in to it.
Momma used to say..."Resist the urge."
Be a good girl.
How does one define, "being a good girl?"
Daddy used to say it too. Of course he did.
Girls are supposed to get married and have babies.
That was said in our house, too.
Conflicting roles. Whose was who's?
Don't ask.
You might not like the answer.
Growing up is hard to do. In quotes.
Get over it. It's inevitable.
Like everything else.
Do we really have any choices?
Or...or is it, too...inevitable.
By the looks of things, choices seem to be extinct. Like Koala's almost are.
White or black bears. One is a dying species and the other just a pain in the neighborhood garbage can.
I like the white ones. They love to swim and play on islands of ice.
And yet, they stay warm and happy. They should survive.
Survival is the name of the game.
People do it in all sorts of ways.
Not all of them are so good, are they?
Not all of them are appropriate displays.
Again, who cares.
Rude stares.
Returned glares.
Odd pairs.
Go figure?
"The dawn's early light."
No more beautiful words ever spoken.
Think about it.
So pure. So fresh. Untouched. Ever before this moment.
Illuminated in it's glory... its birth.
The second you waken to it, you just know.
Rejoice in the splendor of a new day.
It will never come again.
No matter your beliefs, your perspectives; your feelings...
A new day stands before you, challenging you, taunting you, pleasing you from head to toe...if you are present.
If you are curious, confused, conditioned or confounded...
Stand, open armed, face to the sky, wind blowing through your sails.
Trust nothing.
Embrace everything.
Just wait for it.

vampires steal yr soul juice mostly through sex...
they are parasites and we are idolizing them
because we all want to prey
Mr. Sunshine - Dare I say, "you get me." Rightly confirmed the meaning of "trust nothing... and your comment et all was quite enjoyable. The vampire craze is pure craziness. It, too, shall pass. To what is the question of concern.
Very brassy, Just Cathy.
