i am in love, love, love with my vonage phone. well maybe not so much the phone but the people it lets me talk to. family, friends, even the occasional ‘hey’ sayers like lauren and isaac.
in the book ‘blue like jazz’ (which i recommend as a summer read), the author writes about how living alone can become unhealthy after a long period of time. you begin to look within the bottomless depths of yourself which can be a bad thing in the sense that you forget how to interact with others; you even begin to loose interest in talking to other people.
i can see how that happens. i’ve had a few internal moments where you get so far into this spiral of thoughts that you forget the rational. i’m ok with sharing this because its only been moments, not days. and i think i can recognize those moments now and stop them before they get too far. but i feel so bad for the people that are permenantly alone, by choice or by chance, and they don’t have moments - they have years.
i think its ok to live alone for a while…just make sure you have vonage*.
*i think i should be receiving some $$$ for my plug.

I miss you. You’re entries do wonders to a lone soul in Europe. I must learn the Vonage ways via Andriy; henceforth, I shall turn to him for all my tech needs! Three recommendations for ‘Blue Like Jazz’ already! I should have bought that book while waiting in the airport at Newark…

i can definitely relate to this post (minus the vonage part) but the living alone part….i think it’s all about staying busy and surrounding yourself with people outside of your home. it’s so intriguing this idea of looking too deeply into yourself…..i think that’s reflected in my blog…ha. miss you a lot! you are a whirlwind and that is a very very positive thing. love, ems
