Sticky note: junior high

“There’s no need to miss someone from your past-
There’s a reason they didn’t make it to your future”

"Never fight for anyone that isn't willing to fight for you"

These were over dramatic status updates from the same girl. She posted a series of
them like this for quite awhile and as much as I hated them I kept them. They seemed
dumb and at the same time they seemed like advice that I needed to be taking. Advice
that I neither wanted to take nor believe was true.

Sticky note: kiss a tree

"I'm so happy I could just kiss a tree!"

I have no idea. But someone said it and it must have brought
some joy to my day, because I wrote it down.

Sticky note: I'm gonna leave you


"I'm gonna leave you the first chance I get."
-"The River" by Manchester Orchestra

Every time I hear it I feel it. I don't like that this resonates with me.

Sticky Notes

The date is 11/21/11 at 3:34am. I have just gone in and filled up all the blank spaces between that day and this one with the contents of the virtual sticky notes on my screen. It's a documentation of the silly, the deep, and the things that strike me hard enough to make me write them down (only to be forgotten on my desktop). These quotes have been on my computer a long time and I think the fact that I put them up and left them there for so long says something. So there they are: a tribute to the days I left out and the sticky notes that abound.

You can't stop the beat

Etser

God made a helper for man.
An "etser"
And people like to tell me
that that sums up woman's relationship to man.
That that gives definition to my life.

Well I'm a woman.
And the same word is used to describe God's relationship to Israel.
He's an etser.
And he's a leader.
So I like to remind people that man needed something else.
Someone to be his partner.
A "kenegdo"
An equal.

So as being a part of mankind.

I feel like I need an etser.

And I think that's biblical.
