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.

This week has been a full fledged emotional roller coaster for me….here are my brief findings:

  • Managing expectations isn’t just key to business, it is key to life.
  • Having a good cry CAN make you feel good.
  • People can really disappoint you and then go 180 and totally surprise you within less than 24 hours, the ups and downs are part of the ride.
  • It is always better to say what you feel you need to say. Do not leave things unsaid.
  • If you are hurting as a result of the actions of someone else, chances are they are hurting too, you should talk about it.
  • The best way to live life is with your eyes, mind, and heart wide open.
  • People that you choose to care about in life might not always be convenient and it might not always be easy, but if you care about them, taking the risk (no matter how it ends up) will always be worth it.
  • Ultimately, everything seems to come down to give and take.
  • As scary as it is to know that it is possible to be hurt, it is equally (if not more) exciting to know that you care enough that the hurt is possible.
