philomela

for whatever reason, i've been craving sushi like never before.

i. love. sushi.

i'm really excited to be getting my second tattoo at the end of this month. the artist is brilliant, the picture is brilliant! i'm glad i waited longer to get the second image, because i'm certain that i'll be happy with it.

i'm also getting my septum pierced, which i've been thinking about for a long while as well.

i feel like i'm in the midst of transformation. something good is happening. it's the first time i've felt that in a while and i want to hang on to the good feeling, though it will undoubtedly not remain in the ecstatic realm for long. i need to move on from my current relationship, a process i've only begun. it will take months to detach. i'm a sucker and i don't want to hurt his feelings, because truly, he's wonderful and i love him. but it is time for me to take care of me. it has been a long time coming, and it's finally upon me - the courage to make forward movements in my life.

i'm so excited and scared, but i feel, above all things - that my freedom should be un-compromised. and so freedom i shall have.
