Baby girl, just go home...

Baby girl, just go home…

Lucky are those blessed with health, wealth, love, and respect. Home is where your special breed of weirdos are; the ones who take the time to hear your soul; the ones who pause to reach out and touch your ever-pacing heart. Home is wherever love flows the most. We know the cliche: “Home is your family and your friends”. It’s where you can pick your feet up, knowing that you can place it…

The Gift of Courage

The Gift of Courage

Growing older is easy. Growing wiser… not so much! Yay! Happy birthday to me! Let her eat cake!

Time here is a creature all of its own.

What a whirlwind year I’ve been on. To sit down and go through it all would just take a long time – too long. Compared with back home, my life in Asia moves at such an alarming rate. Time here is a creature all of its own. I’ve been up and down the…

For The Romantic At Heart

Personally speaking, I’ve always quite liked the idea of love, even when it comes to that painful, heart-wrenching, disappointing end. 

Romantic love is dead, discuss…

The idea of being a romantic is certainly unpopular these days — embarrassingly so. People somehow like the fool themselves that their need to be validated, loved, cared for, fussed over, by…

Forget & Floss

Same dreamer. New dreams.

I got the notification that I’d be losing this site the other day and something jolted me awake. Had it really been more than a year?

Oh how time flies when you’re trying to make something of yourself!

It felt like only a wink ago, I’d packed my bags – again – and was making my way back to Bangkok.  Now I’m settled in all snug and tight, with friends, family…

"You may build a world, or wreck it, but, whatever you would say, Everything at last is buried under shovelfuls of clay..." - Mihai Eminescu ⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊ In this city starved of green, I'm so happy to finally have a little corner of my own where I🦆 can bloom🌱. I missed my garden, my allotment, my chickens ... so baby steps... #shedoesliving #greenthumb #grow #gardener #balconygarden#plants #bangkok #concretejungle #poem #Firstepistle #mihaieminescu #tinygarden #balcony (at Rama Iv)

Sometimes we're just sooo fixed on labels that we forget to be decent human beings. 🤔 Forget hashtags, social movements, allies, or whatever brand of crazy you're subscribing to this day, month, or year... just try (in my mother's words) 'not to be a d@#k'. If you're stumped, here are a few simple tips to get you on your merry way: - stop competing. The road is long, I'd rather have friends than a trail of enemies; - use 'soft' words, even if the other person drives you to new levels of crazy; - become besties with the truth - even if other people have gone full Stevie Wonder on it; - practice empathy - even if that Becky has been running her mouth for months about you.... ahem.... 😅 I don't promise it will be easy but in the end... the #artofnotbeingadick is rewarding in ways you'd never previously imagined. #shedoesliving #mantra #bebetter #riseabove #heal #motivation #noshade #bestrong #funny #rantover #hashtag #tgif #friyay

-"Dragostea nu are ochi"- I kept trying to tell people about how wonderful Bangkok is. I don't mean the lights, sights and sounds... Instead nowadays, whenever anyone visits me, I take them to the market, have them buy fruits, they taste it... then they understand. There's magic in each bite #shedoesliving #market #alive #bangkok #food #fruit #healthy #pineapple #markettour #tourism #fruitcrazy

"...We'll dream only happy dreams Echoed by wind's song in the trees, The murmur of the lonely spring, The caressing touch of the gentle breeze" - Mihai Eminescu I don't know about you, but I find that poetry makes everything just that little bit more bearable. You can wrap yourself up in their words and nourish a wounded 💔 heart with a sonnet or two. #shedoesliving #poetry #mihaieminescu #desire #poetrycommunity #poems #positivevibes #lovepoems #lostlove #translatedpoem #poetrylovers #poetrycommunity #poetsofinstagram #poetsclub #love #feelings #quotes (at Neverland)
