Ah, yes, poetry!

When I'm feeling blue (which is an understatement in this case, because I've cried everyday of the past week and I see no signs of it stopping soon...) music and poetry helps. Well, sometimes it does. It hasn't helped through this particular phase but I'm getting there. Today (or rather, tonight) I have some of Sarah Teasdale's poetry for you. Lovely, lovely Sarah Teasdale has been keeping me company lately. Enjoy!

Heated conversations

It doesn't happen often because I try extremely hard to be calm whenever it looks like there's going to be a fight. If I can manage to remain calm long enough, the other person begins to calm down as well. Except some rare instances in which my calmness was perceived as apathy, this usually works rather well. I appreciate my friends and knowing how mean I can get during a fight, I do my best to abstain from screaming in their faces. It's the polite thing to do.

But sometimes, you have a bad day, you just don't want to discuss certain things and when someone talks to you as though you were a wee child, well... things get out of hand.

What a job

 

It's probably wrong to take pictures of random people in the street, especially if they don't know you're taking their picture or that you're planning to post said picture on your blog. But I couldn't resist. 

It was raining and he was lying under that car for such a long time... When he got up, he noticed I was looking so he smiled, a big bright smile and said "What a job!" which made me smile as well.

So, sir whose name I will never know, I'm sorry for taking your picture without asking and posting it on my blog, but I had to do it. I simply had to!
