like driving into a sunset

taken from kifer's gchat status:

"for me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?" - bell hooks

like driving into a sunset..

..you trust that even in complete darkness things will be okay.

where bananas and lemons grow..

..together. that's where i want to be right now.

haven't felt this homesick since my first year of college

not feelin' the mad tension in the apartment, the inevitable fallin' out's

unrequited love has got me sprung, and tired

dad's high blood pressure's got him in and out of the emergency room

mom hasn't slept in days because she's taking care of daddy, and now she's gettin' sick too

they both haven't been going to work

i, too, am job searching

life: where's the balance? really!? where is it?
