Carissa Galow's Blog – February 2013 Archive (6)

A thin film covered my eyes

Through it, I saw what the puppet master wanted me to see

I let him hold the strings

I danced, cried, laughed, and lived as he wanted me to

He held the power

Because I gave it to him

Freely, without reservation

Take my life in your hands and I will do as you wish

He’d build me up

I’d see beauty all around me

I’d laugh, smile, and love with all I had

Feeling like I could…

“Hey, Sal, wait up!” a familiar voice called from behind me.

Ugh. Maybe if I pretend to be deaf, he’ll go away. Though somehow, I doubt I’d get that lucky.

As yet more of my old skin flakes off

Even weeks from now

Perhaps even tomorrow

Ever growing, ever evolving

I am not the girl I once was

And nor am I the girl I will be

Always…

I was attempting to take a nap and my mind began to wander, as it often does. I started thinking about letters of the alphabet and things about me and in my life as it is to represent each one. I decided to run with it and make a blog out of it. :)

Applying myself, applying to jobs, Archer

Bowling, books, blogging

Cooking, cleaning, creativity

Doug, dreaming, doing

Empathy, experimenting,…

This Thursday is Valentine’s Day. Instead of going out to a fancy restaurant, we chose to eat bacon cheeseburgers that we had once before at a local pub within walking distance. We might get in our two free weekly practice games at the lanes we bowl league at or we'll just watch some Archer on DVD. We’re not buying one another pricey gifts or doing anything out of the ordinary. Why? Some people are into that, we’re not. We choose to treat it as another chance to spend time together, as…
