dance
I really miss dancing. And I don’t mean the type of dancing that you can get a quick fix for with a booty shaking in your bedroom or a grinding at the clubs. I mean the-bruises-that-show-up-on-your-spine type dancing. The 5-6-7-8! type dancing. The chaine, unravel, stag leap type dancing. Dance was in my life for a short period of time, but my love for it was just so intense and...

incredibly gushy things
I like talking about our future. It makes me feel giddy, hopeful, and invincible. I was caught off guard when I looked at the calendar and realized that March will be upon us this Thursday. Where has the time went? Half a year has come and gone, and despite the odds against this peculiar little pairing, we’re doing alright. We’re doing fantastic. We’re doing perfect.
I’m...

waking up the wrong color
On a normal day, I wake up a sky blue. You know; calm, light and peaceful. Sometimes I’ll wake a bright yellow; energetic and effervescent. Other days, a grey; tired and moody.
And sometimes I’ll wake up as a mottled green, a color that can only be found in slightly molding foods, puke, an ugly bruise, and the runny nose of a 2 year old child sick with the common cold. When I wake up...

The Sciences Sing a Lullabye
eating-poetry:
Physics says: go to sleep. Of course you’re tired. Every atom in you has been dancing the shimmy in silver shoes nonstop from mitosis to now. Quit tapping your feet. They’ll dance inside themselves without you. Go to sleep.
Geology says: it will be all right. Slow inch by inch America is giving itself to the ocean. Go to sleep. Let darkness lap at your sides. Give...

I'm sorry your life is so difficult because the...
If the absolute worst thing you’ve ever experienced in life is that some guy didn’t return your secret crush for him, you either have it easy and should be grateful, or your priorities are just wonked up. (Do not confuse this with love lost. That is a completely different and understandable emotional ballpark.)
There are a few girls I know that are traveling down this road I like to...

pet peeve
Buddhism is becoming a part of “hipster pop culture,” and I don’t like it. People act as if liking Buddhism makes you cool, wise, and different.
That’s my religion, you guys realize that, right? I take it just as seriously as others do with their own religion. There’s a particular family acquaintance of mine, and I won’t name names, who completely bashes on...

Valentine's Day 2012
First: calm your angst. It has nothing to do about my own personal Valentine’s day, but rather my parents’. Save your eye rolls and “not another simp!” exclamations for the next post on your dashboard por favor.
Today, my mom had a surgical procedure done. Nothing too serious mind you; just your standard hysteroscopy. I just thought it was such a shame it was done on...
decision made
I’m going to start a tumblr to keep track of my progress in yoga so that I don’t flood your dashboards with too much yoga-related paraphernalia.
You are all welcome.
& hey Unco Chin: Do it with me. Do it like Nike.

hey asshole. I get it; you drive a mustang and it makes loud noises when you accelerate. the entire neighborhood gets it. my car that goes off every time you rev the engine gets it. every dog on the block gets it.
it’s also 12:42 in the freaking morning, and nobody is impressed with your stupid sports car that’s probably an automatic anyways.

children know how to love
Children know how to love. What could be more heart warming than watching them barter food with one another over their lunchboxes? What could be more pure than witnessing a 5 year old boy tug on a poor girl’s hair because he just likes her so much, but can’t tell her without fear of embarrassment? What could possibly be more romantic than a crumpled up note with the words: “do...

tumblr is regina george
I love tumblr because it gives me some semblance of an outlet. But besides that, and the few cool blogs and people I follow, I actually really hate tumblr. Before I’m trampled for blasphemy, allow me to explain.
There are so many double standards on this site, it’s almost dizzying trying to keep up with all of them. Probably the one that irritates me the most is the “every...

And then my brain said, “Samantha, you have a class at 8 am. You need to get some sleep.”
And then the caffeine coursing through my bloodstream said “lol, that’s cute.”
I think my biggest regret in life is drinking that huge ass mug of coffee at 8:30 for no reason other than to taste test it.
It was delicious, by the way.

inhale.
and with each exhale, everything will leave me. My insecurities, my fears, my worries, my troubles. I will reach deep down inside myself where I’ve buried them and packed them tight. I will give them each a kiss on the forehead as a thank you for keeping me humble and brave. And I’ll set them loose. It’s time to let these go, and open a new pandora’s box. There are new...
