'Throw me tomorrow, now that I've really got a chance' - David Bowie, Thursday's Child

Because sometimes we need reminders and because sometimes I have nothing to say and because sometimes I was up late going to parties and because sometimes I've been sick and nothing I write or do makes sense and because sometimes run on sentences with no punctuation are fun and because sometimes despite being hesitant and cautious I feel like I can do anything in the world and because even though I feel like that I still have obligations which make me do the necessary instead of the transcendent and because making choices is difficult.

And also just because. Because.

I tell you to watch David Bowie and I give you Anais Nin. 'And then the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.' ~ Anais Nin

Really like your Anais Nin quote.

By the way, have you read The Prophet yet by Khalil Gibran? I think I've asked you this before. Anyway, he has an amazing way with words, so you should read at least once!

David Bowie is so beautiful in that video. He is more beautiful now than when he was younger.
We can do anything in the world WITH our obligations tagging along.

Chloe: I think David Bowie is one of the most beautiful beings on the planet. We surely can do things with our obligations tagging along, if they are the two or four legged type. If they are more abstract it becomes more difficult.

Nicky: I really should. I know I know! I have to go and buy it, borrow it something. And yes you did ask me before :P

Tell me what you want me to know.
