so it's a new year finally. i can truly say that things have changed greatly for me and that i can commit to taking the time to write... perhaps the next chapter of my life. what to write then? about all the changes that have taken place for me? i finally bid farewell to all the things that have kept me in the city of angels, so now i am ready to move on. yes, it took me many years.. but i finally see that the time is now.
love is a complicated thing. depending on how you look at it, love can be so many things. it can be about how you feel, about your hopes and desires. your expectations and obligations. you know, responsibilities and what not. your reasons for loyalty and being true to that feeling of love.
for me, i lean more heavily towards believing that love is about that indescribable feeling of how and what you feel... not about how someone else feels about you. so many people believe that it's love only when it's reciprocated... how trite and selfish can you get? love is what kept me in los angeles for so many years. or perhaps the search for love... the flashes i felt in the silence of the city. the karaoke rooms. in the whiskey that i fell in love with one of my best friends. in all the shared beliefs and values that i fell in love with diva in japan. i fell for this lush post modern jaded scandalous city, who has kept me a dreamer... who has jailed me for my addictions... who broke me down to welcome me. who is breaking me down to bid me farewell. and i'm thankful for it all... you know, for whatever it's all supposed to mean. life's a cinch. just do it!
