I like to see people reunited, I like to see people run to each other, I like the kissing and the crying, I like the impatience, the stories that the mouth can’t tell fast enough, the ears that aren’t big enough, the eyes that can’t take in all of the change. I like the hugging, the bringing together, the end of missing someone.

Lesson Learned

Fri, 07 Jun 2013 22:40:00 -0400

Or, more accurately, realized. Our generation is the first ever to have an expansive or dare I say infinite amount of information at our fingertips. And that means our generation has the opportunity to not only learn from our parents and friends but instead to learn from any and every corner of the world, from any and every time period.

What does this mean? We no longer take risks. We are a generation of people who play it safe. A generation of planners. A generation of “safety options” and “fallback choices” because we have endless information; we have learned too much from the many generations before us, and not enough for ourselves. And even worse, we’re a generation of know it alls. I’m pretty sure being 22 does not qualify you to (a) think you know everything, and (b) act condescendingly towards anyone or anything.

edit: I know this doesn’t apply to everyone in this generation. Duh. But it does apply to me and probably many of the students I went to school with these past four years.

Those stupid four letters do no ounce of justice to the feeling of missing someone. And that definition? Come on English! Let’s find more appropriate ways to express our feelings here. Or I’m going to burst.

lovethewildswan:

We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we’re approaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter:

‘Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended’
They pay for their order, take the two and leave. I ask my friend, ‘What are those ‘suspended’ coffees?’
‘Wait for it and you will see’

Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three for them and four ‘suspended’. While I still wonder what’s the deal with those ‘suspended’ coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square in front of the café. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in through the door and kindly asks, ‘Do you have a suspended coffee?’

It’s simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can not afford a warm drink. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwich or a whole meal.

“I’ve always kept and collected things, and I’ve always been interested in the idea of diaries. I must have 10 different personal diaries: I keep a dream diary, I keep a yoga diary, I keep diaries on people that I’ve met and things that they’ve said to me, advice that they’ve given me… They’ve given me a place in which I can try to figure myself out, because those kinds of ideas feel too personal to put out into the public or even discuss with anyone else.

Your thoughts are so much less frightening when they’re tangible, when you can see them on a page in front of you. And it’s less narcissistic and egotistical than releasing your own autobiography, which would be my worst nightmare.”

“Though even when it is a private thing and there are no judgments, a blank page is still so intimidating. It makes me scared to even start.”

“I had an art teacher who said that there is nothing scarier than a blank canvas. Before he gave us our canvases he’d scribble or splash paint on them so that we didn’t have to work off this intimidating white space. I think there’s something to be said for that.”
