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

I have a history of making decisions very quickly about men. I have always fallen in love fast and without measuring risks. I have a tendency not only to see the best in everyone, but to assume that everyone is emotionally capable of reaching his highest potential. I have fallen in love more times than I care to count with the highest potential of a man, rather than with the man himself, and I have hung on to the relationship for a long time (sometimes far too long) waiting for the man to ascend to his own greatness. Many times in romance I have been a victim of my own optimism.

Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat Pray Love

Got invited courtesy of a friend to the premiere of this movie. I loved this book in all of its overplayed glory (LOVED) but I’m not sure about the idea of it being a movie. The best thing about Eat Pray Love is that you can imagine yourself on that journey or at least a part of it…It’s so easy to relate to various moments of her story…it feels like a shared experience…. Like she’s telling all of our story of the best and worst times as we try to navigate the crazy course of love so that we remember that the journey (the highs and the lows) is always worth it because, of course, what is life without it?

I feel like seeing someone be her just might ruin that.
