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.

I missed my blog’s anniversary...it was on the 14th. Usually on that day I reflect on the year….I’ve started my list of this year’s highlights but am not quite ready to share that. So for now, I will share with you a bit of what I’ve learned/remembered in 2009:

  • Sometimes you can’t follow your gut, you have to follow your heart
  • People may disappoint you…but it’s your choice if you continue to let them
  • Sometimes you can’t help who you love (you just can’t)
  • Michael fucking Jackson.
  • Don’t we all wish we could’ve told him how much it all meant to us?
  • The old saying is in fact true, the only thing that stays the same is everything changes.
  • Sometimes your sole purpose has to be only, simply to love
  • And other times it has to be to just LET GO and move on
  • What you thought your life would be at 16 is never gonna be your life.
  • Vampires…..don’t we all wish something?
  • You have to forgive yourself.
  • And while you’re at it, forgive him too. Your hatred isn’t gonna rain on his parade, you might as well let the parade continue
  • Bygones should simply be bygones.
  • Patrick Swayze lived more in his years than any of us could dream - let us all take that as a lesson to do and be MORE.
  • Sometimes the only way to forget….is to forgive.
  • Sometimes love will grow in the place you least expect it.
  • Don’t give up on people, they will try to give up on you..but you have to convince them to stick through it.
  • Friendship…..oh God….don’t we all throw that word around? the truth is that real friendship grows fast, hard…and plants roots so deep in your heart. Always.
  • You will always leave something behind that you love…and so it goes. Life rolls on.
  • Why count the sheep? Why not count the moments?
  • Give ________a chance.They might surprise you.
