I just wanted color.
Last day at the factory before roughing it at the Four Seasons. I may not take any photos at all. I relax when I think of lying by the pool with a frozen drink in my hand. Who needs to try photographing drag queens with a leica and a flash in hand? Getting my ass kicked might make a good story, something that has been lacking here, but at this point in my recovery, I don't think that it is worth it.
Maybe.
I was talking to a sad person yesterday. She has been perpetually sad for a year. She is a bit of a drama queen, but she doesn't need to be sad. I told her that she is telling herself the wrong stories. She needs to change the narrative, tell the story in a different way. That's the beauty of being human, I said. We can always change our mind.
"That's what my therapist says."
Fuck yea. I am ready to begin my second career as life coach. I knew I had it in me.
ReplyDeleteI've landed in the Sunshine State. I read something the other day - or rather saw the headline "Forget Saving the Planet, We've Got to Save Florida" .
It's a bit of an ugly part of the state over here. And to make it beautiful they've piped in everything. It's fake and a gauche. But I'll be a grateful lizard today and soak up the hot sun.
I hope to get into the Everglades by Monday. Walk the Fakahatchee Strand. Commune with nature - which I obviously need very much cause I'm already feeling a bit out of place.
I hope you enjoy your fancy stay at the Resort. You will most likely tell us later "I was born into the wrong station in life - that's where I belong." :)
I only like to play in that world I've realized.
You should have seen this place in the 60s. Now it is just a construction site. But have fun. There are still good parts. You know.
