"You can never completely know anyone, no matter how well you think you do"- Susane Colosanti.
You can think you are so close to somebody
Like you are attached by strings
You can think they are perfect
No flaws, not hiding anything
You can think you truly know everything about them
But once you see a glimpse of the real them
Their true colours start to show
The strings begin to cut themselves off
One by one
Once all their truth is revealed, there are no longer any strings left attached
Now you are left there looking at a stranger, unlettered.

Can You Begin Living a Fulfilling Life of Inner Peace and Self-Love?
Instead of finding a partner or being in pursuit of success, you can simply appreciate the present. Lay more emphasis on your own adherence to joy and contentment inside of you.

No Plus One
It's nearly one AM and I just got back from my third wedding of the four in this last month alone, and I have always been alone. I hide behind my camera to pretend to be useful, hide behind a safety net of skill set. So I do not have to confront the loneliness that is sleeping alone when everyone else seems to have a partner to crawl into bed with. I love the time spent with those who decided I was worth the 30-plus dollars per plate they decided to spend on me, and I do not need to have a partner on these occasions, but it would be nice to have someone notice, me. See when I am in the corner because they know I need time to recharge and to kiss me on the head until the time has come to leave. Maybe that's the problem about being a professional storyteller, I dream of something that isn't meant for me.
