Valentine's Day


This was the day girls could confess boys that they like them. In Japan... in my time (many moons ago)... I remember those days...
I always had a boy I liked. Once I confessed, I felt better although it always ended up broken heart. Just the fact I let them know made me feel better. Like I did what I could do (confessed) regardless of the result. I wasn't a popular girl, so I never had a boyfriend until I became 17. He was 4 years older college guy and I was in high school.
I was a still child. He wanted to marry me but I was too scared to go through with it.
Now after one marriage and a divorce, I don't know much about love between men and women anymore. I only loved one person in my entire life. (It wasn't my ex, by the way.) It takes a lot out of you. Seems like most of people in my age don't even believe in "true love" anymore. That's sad.
Maybe I'm hopelessly romantic. Not really, but I just hope to be hopelessly romantic, I guess.
I want to believe. Someday... somewhere... with someone... that magic moment again.

When I was younger...


Probably when I was teenager...
My favorite subjects were art and music. I wasn't much of athletic and those two were only subjects that required "so called" brain. LOL!
I discovered that I didn't have much talent for music pretty quick. But I think I still have the ear for it.

Art... This was only subject I liked and I was good at. BUT, I just believed... how I'm going to make money from art??? Unless I become a big time famous artist.... right?

I got into fashion industry... not much creativity there... so I quit...
I changed my job here and there... just make a living....

And 49 years later... It hit me... It was coming back slowly when I got divorce.
Art was very kind to me... it was therapeutic. Now I believe that art can set me free. Why didn't I think of that before...
But that's ok. I'm here... I'm painting... I'm drawing... just my mind storm is rushing through...

So much catching up to do... but that's ok too. It doesn't need time. All I need is the NOW.
