.. Partially because my thoughts have been traveling with the rest of me, exploring the dimensions of young love and this new glamorously lifestyle I seem to have fallen into. Not to undermine my past adventures, but those bright lights were always part of the work package. Now, as a spectator, traveling for moral support and side-stage approval bobbing, my load has been lightened drastically. It’s almost addicting, to get sucked up into a world where curious eyes stick to your attire while fingers interlock with a significant other (who just happens to be somewhat of a rockstar). When I was younger I very adamantly scowled at the idea of dating someone who’s job comes with a contract of eye-fucking and tumblr fan girls.
At the end of the day I am not satisfied with primarily taking on the side-kick girlfriend role in domestica, as stability does threaten but never suppress my passion. I want to live in New York City, sip glasses of wine, light candles, and dance on wooden floors to the sounds of Fleetwood Mac with an audience of a single, wise siamese cat. I want to stay out late and have lonely subway rides on the L-train, my eyes tracing the outline of mysterious souls, narrating their travels inside my twisted mind. I want to work ridiculous hours and travel the world as someones bitch for a period of time, until the tables turn and its me wearing the mysterious shades. I never thought these dreams were obtainable while in union with another body, until I met him. Everything fell (and is falling) into place, allowing me the freedom and solidarity I need to refresh my sanity levels while providing the comfort and love of another individual. This rare finding has been the greatest thing to come out of my career, ranking far above countless all access passes and lacking after parties.
I guess what I am addressing in this early morning typefest is that change is inevitable. By putting yourself out there and being more receptive to new things, everything you know can gracefully transition into a whole new world you never knew existed.
