adventures of mascarah.

I've just begun a new decade. Sigh.

I have always wanted to be "a writer" but I'm lost somewhere in the prologue...whittling away at a story I may never tell.

Likes: pop culture. my chihuahua. architecture. modern art. elizabeth street. contemporary designer apparel. food. travel. foreign films. speakeasys. live music. politics. hot sauce. surprises. running in the rain. strangers. wednesdays. fearlessness...and 100s of other random things... maybe even you.

A southerner by birth, northerner by the grace of God, I'm simply a nyc gal who is lost somewhere on my constant exploration of the city and the life,love, and pursuit found within it.

If you are so inclined... sap {at} lifelovepursuit.com

10 Reasons Why You Should Go to Your High School Reunion.

  1. You will get drunk with someone you never thought you’d ever drink with.
  2. At least one person will completely surprise you in some unforeseen way.
  3. Everyone is just as nervous as you are. However, the butterflies will quickly fade and before you know it, your evening will be filled with laughter and positive memories, the rest will be water under a bridge that is thousands of miles away.
  4. Trust me when I say, no one is taking bets on how fat or successful you are, they’re just hoping you accept them for who they are and are more than prepared to do the same.
  5. It is nice to share what you’ve done in the past 10 years. Until you talk about it, it is often easy to forget how much you’ve accomplished, which is always more than you think you have.
  6. If you close your eyes in your dining hall or dorm room (or favorite classroom if you weren’t a boarder) it still smells the same and you can feel like you are that awkward gangly teen again, if only for a moment.
  7. Your teachers will still remember something you did in their classroom, at least one of them, and that might bring tears to your eyes if you’re a sap like me. If not, it is still damn flattering that you made an impact, a decade later. 
  8. New friends are awesome, and you might make some at your reunion, but being around old friends is amazing. They will remember so much of what you do not, and it will be fun to stroll down memory lane with them.
  9. It is a memory you want to share later down the line with your kids or spouse. To not be there is like skipping over a milestone that you can’t get back, and you will definitely want to get it back.
  10. It is totally an excuse for a new outfit.
