Nathan: I don't like that cough of yours, son. You should have some comfort soup when you get home.

Listen. Probably my favorite thing about The Terror is that because the story is one planned out season, the arcs and parallel scenes are set up so cleanly and nicely that it echos.

The Warden watches him with eyes made pale by moonlight. He can feel her gaze roam over him, considering. There’s the slightest pull in her face where she’s chewing the inside of her cheek. A brown, flaking smear of blood smudges her hairline, left from one of the assassins she killed today. At last, she says, “You do not offend me.” And that is that.

A Spaniard: *breathes*

Washington Irving: the manly, crude Spanish intake of breath is a direct heritage bestowed upon this people with birdless land by the Moors; it is but an element interwoven in their nature that tethers them to the savage Africa

What Compels Me to Take This Path

Hello from Panera Bread on a Rainy First Monday of Autumn, It has been a busy day, and yet one to take some time to offer self-care. Over the past months, I have imagined, pondered, reflected, and, at morments, fretted about the impending life change that became a reality the sixteenth of August. Indeed, I officially retired. So now a month and a few days later, my focus has changed. No longer…

Audience of One

Beginning the planning of my trip to Amsterdam in September is a bit unusual than usual. Normally I take little to no planning for international trips, with my level of travel experience I don't really need much lead time. I initially thought I would be staying in a pension, feeling a little nostalgic for the way their are portrayed in The World According to Garp novel, but Irving's reference is probably the fifties are sixties and Europe has changed a bit since then. So it may ultimately be a hostel, because lodgings aren't as important to me as spending my money on experiences in Europe.

This trip has a new challenge, its not for anyone except for me, a former friend wanted to live vicariously through a trip that was supposed to be focused on my rest and restoration. I realized that this expectation gave me an unnecessary burden of making my trip performative for an audience that wasn't even there. Social media has turned everyone into voyeurs...

Amsterdam will be for me and me alone, I will not be posting, or tweeting about the trip at all. All works that are created will be solely for my consumption. It's a curious place to be, and it actually feels good to refocus my pleasure for myself alone and not for an invisible studio audience. I think this will allow me to be more present in the moment and to savor and enjoy it more.

It's curious the burgeoning of these feelings started last September when my niece visited. In the past I would have posted our adventures on my timeline, but other then a few IG stories post and some select friends I kept most of the experience to myself. I shared things with her, not knowing what she did with anything, but to have a memory that was just for us, which is what her trip was all about for me.

Its easy to think that I should feel less content that I don't have a huge circle of friends to share my successes with, but the truth is most of the people around me aren't doing as well as I am at this point and I truly think my enjoyment would create toxic feelings of missing out, when they aren't living my life and I am not living their life.

This is one of the primary reasons I have continually been moving away from social media. We stay in our bubbles, looking into other people's bubbles wondering why we don't have what they have. I watched this portrayed on the HBO series Rap Shit, and I am pleased to have the continence to move my life offline out of the prevue of every Naomi, Jaheem and Keisha.

I don't need anyone else's permission to enjoy myself and my self-esteem isn't so low that I need to raise myself up by making others feel less than. I am not going to necessarily pat myself for this level of emotional maturity because I just really enjoy my privacy. I don't want people in my business. #period You live your life and I will live mines.
