da questa parte

Time for a new direction, because I have been too prescriptive in my topics for this blog so it's a big undertaking to post so I don't.

From now on, the truth. The things that catch my eye, with or without the long description.

We shall begin with a centuries-old death.

"Yet," said Crito, "the sun is still upon the hilltops, and I know that many a one has taken the draught late, and after the announcement has been made to him,
he has eaten and drunk, and enjoyed the society of his beloved; do not hurry - there is time enough."

Socrates said: "Yes, Crito, and they of whom you speak are right in so acting, for they think that they will be gainers by the delay; but I am right in not following their example, for I do not think that I should gain anything by drinking the poison a little later; I should only be ridiculous in my own eyes for sparing and saving a life which is already forfeit. Please then to do as I say, and not to refuse me."

Ever wondered what goes through a girl's mind when she's on Tinder? ugh, shirtless shot, gross - NOPE first photo is you drinking beer and pulling a finger sign? what are you, 20? - NOPE oh look you have a motorbike. and you ride it sometimes. look, there it is again. and again. ummm, do you have a face? oh there it is. - NOPE just one photo. just one? do you think you're so attractive that one single photo is enough to catch my interest? - NOPE oh look you're smiling! you have a nice open face. nice to see your eyes. no profile tho. hmmmm. ok but only because you smiled. - YES naked torso - NOPE naked torso - NOPE photo with bikini babes, seriously? why would that attract me? is it supposed to act like a reference? - NOPE naked torso - NOPE tank top with generic brand like elwood - NOPE four photos, none smiling - NOPE oh another smile! yay!

love is...

I first saw her in December. She was perched on the pavement, sunlight bathing her features, flowers in her hair. She had a look of calm, clean beauty about her and I was smitten. But I never thought she would be mine. I watched her through January, planning and scheming ways to entice her into my world. Her beauty was dazzling but I began to see that her style was not to everyone's taste...maybe she was within my reach after all? I told my friends about her, praised her character and charm to the skies; they all agreed that she was perfect for me. I dreamt of dressing her in pretty fabrics, buying her trinkets of colour and light, and spending my nights safely esconced in her embrace. In February I finally found the courage to approach her. Then, somehow, before I knew it, promises were made and she was mine! Want to see her? Here she is... .
