"Hi, I’m Adam and I’m an alcoholic. Um… I’ve been sober since I was 17, I knew I had a problem pretty early on and I dealt with it because I didn’t want to wait and I knew it would just get worse. I felt pretty solid after I stopped drinking, I stopped coming to as many meetings, bu lately I haven’t felt so solid anymore, so… I have this girlfriend who at first I didn’t like very much, or I didn’t take her very seriously, I guess. She just seemed like, you know, a piece of ass. But she was persistent, man. And she just hung around and hung around and showed up at my place, and gradually it started to feel better when she was there. It wasn’t love the way I imagined it. I just felt weird if I didn’t know what she was up to or whatever. And I liked knowing that she was just gonna be there and… warm and staying the night. And she acted like I was teaching her everything, about… fucking history, about sex. She didn’t know what street Central Park started on, or how to use soap, and I showed her. And I wanted that chance to show someone everything. But she changed her mind about me and it was that fast. I’m so exhausted. Okay. And I’ll bring cookies! I don’t really like cookies that much so don’t get mad at me if I bring the wrong shit."

Wild Dancing Elephants: Shaken

wilddancingelephants:

You read a poem, and it inspires you. It moves you to the point that you search high and low for something as beautiful, yet nothing will suffice. I feel that way about you.

From the moment you walked into my life, you shook something inside of me that no other man has managed to do.

I’ve…

Give me some things to think about

May 28, 2013 

12:13 A.M.

My happiness revolves around very few people. I think it is when you have found the clear words to define the beings that give you happiness, that you can mold your life to preserve that selfless happiness.

I like to travel far by myself, but my heart aches every time I do it. No better way to expand your mind but by meeting new people and listening to their stories. But no one can take the place of my parents, my sister, my love and my five friends. So, I can’t help but to think that it is all pretenses; the very thoroughly constructed inside jokes that can create the little bit of comfort between two new friends just for the few minutes that they will know each other. That brings me to my next thought.

Organic relationships are rare.

I say this as I look through the pictures saved on my computer, that I don’t need the internet for.

(Back story: I’m sitting on the floor of my Istanbul dorm. Charging my computer beside an ironing stand because the architect of this building was stupid enough to put only 7 electric outlets on a floor of 50 girls. They also turn off the Wi-Fi at 11:30pm which only works in the lobby.)

If my mascara runs, it will go into my eyes and it will burn. Thus, I won’t cry.

It’s amazing. To look at one single frozen second of an exciting night full of laughter, brings back the same emotions. And my heart beats faster, my smile stretches longer, and when I realize that the present is different than the picture, I start to feel melancholy.  

Then Lapdance comes on.

And I hit next to the next picture so I’m entitled to another few minutes of happiness.

Mr. and Mrs. Kabir. I love this picture. Not only because I took it but because I just do. This is what they are going to be doing once both their daughters leave home. Sit at a serene spot by Lake Michigan, drink tea and chat. They’re very brave. Their daughters are their whole world. They’ve let their most protected, most precious things leave their sight. The girls will grow to be the classic women. They’ve been sheltered enough to know how to be super well-mannered and their need to curb their own curiosities has led them to have secret yet memorable adventures. A lot of has been hidden from their parents. But the parents will be proud I’m sure one day to know that their daughters were intelligent enough to make mistakes and learn from them. Everyone in the family uses their daughters as examples of what good girls should be like.
