Relying solely on a section of the newspaper for a movie choice. The excitement of going down through the listings and reading the few lines of script that best described the movie with so few words. You’d spend extra time on the showings with an accompanying photo being most likely the blockbusters. Debate with your fellow movie-goer until the show times force you to pick. Shit, it’s twenty-to. We have to leave if we want to make the 6:00.
I’m telling you. It was a vibe, a feel, an event. I miss it on second thought and wish sometimes we didn’t have to go so fast. – Ash

Journal Entry # 241 – Be a Port of a Moment
There’s a time and a place. Thank advantage of both. – Ash
Shade of Ash # 35 – I’ve Come to a Resolution
Someone asked me the other day if I was a new year’s resolution type of person. I said no. I am more of a new you resolution type of person which happens every day. Waiting a whole year to assess yourself and make changes seems a waste of time and creates pressure to not fail. We have to fail, to learn to win. We have to fall, to get back up. We have to lose to be grateful for what we already have. I continued to tell this person that I am a work in progress and it takes work each and every day and that’s the only resolution I need to keep. – Ash
Second Thoughts # 3 – Huge Sense of Tilt
The feeling of making it halfway to where you’re walking and realizing the rest of the way is downhill. – Ash
Second Thoughts # 2 – Bus Case Scenario
Staying on the bus way past your stop because you have all the time in the world. – Ash
Second Thoughts # 1 – Curbed Enthusiasm
Those days of sitting on the curb with your childhood friends at the beginning of the warmest rain. – Ash
Come Rise, My Sun
my winter retreat was lonely
flurries turned into storms
dark skies seemed always
cold bit me every second
ice through my veins stiffened from life
sharpen gales to cut me away
I was polar from everything
sitting barren
until her voice
her light
all that warmth from beyond
chiselled me free of that void capsule
I am her sun
she is my days
