January 17, 2016

Today I made a homemade hair-mask with coconut oil, honey and egg yolk and used Eliza's grainy face-mask from Whole Foods. I came up with a business idea: a cute little boutique shop where you can find homemade organic face and hair masks, essential oils, lotions, candles. And we host events where you can make your own candles, oils, masks, and also a spa in the back where bridal parties, prom groups, middle to late aged white woman can gather to drink and cleanse their skin and breathe aromatic oils. We shall call it Sage & Aqua (after Sagittarius & Aquarius - Eliza and my sun signs).

Today was a day of self-cleansing and self-realization.

I want to be an author.

We watched a movie Stuck In Love where a family of writers and hopeless romantics explore the dynamics of love and living. The father, played by Greg Kinnear, is a famous writer who pays allowance to his kids to write journals - checks the dates and holds them accountable. He says "a writer is the sum of their experience" which sparked a whole new fire within me.

I never sat suckered down by the troubles of my world, of my crooked reality. I observed the world around me and etched out my life each day. Forever changing.

"I could hear my heart beating. I could hear everyone's heart. I could hear the human noise we sat their making, not one of us moving, not even when the room went dark." -Raymond Carter, What We Talk About When We Talk About Love
