Fallen out of love
I’ve done it. I’ve fallen out of love. And the world is duller, and things are more normal. I am less interesting and less interested. A patina instead of a shine. More grounded, less inventive. Calmer. Less excited. Less invested. Less emotional. More resigned. More room in my brain for other thoughts, but no thoughts are coming in. Not upset. Not angry, Not anxious. Not ambitious. Not even lost. The lid is back on the box. I’m more in control and less in awe.
The Art of the Day is: The Art of Moving On
Wednesday, May 10, 2006
Some days "It takes all the running you can do to stay in the same place". This blog is to chronicle the running, and point out the interesting things, people, places, I meet on the way.
About Me
- Name: the other Joan
- Location: New Hampshire, United States
I've lived in all 4 New states, NY, NJ, NM, NH. I grew up as far away as you can from Manhattan and still take the subway.(I used to put subway tokens in my penny loafers so I could click my heels three times and go home). I've sung solo in the Parma Opera House. My brother and sister are twins. I believe that people want to be used, but they want to be used well.

Red Queen Rules:
- Keep your eyes on your
own plate - Be yourself,
it's who you do best - Every problem has
a family
Because it takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place.
