bubbly and lovely: i'm too poor for therapy.
been there and back again. too many thoughts and opinions and hormones get me in trouble.

insignificant? not really.
a former high school classmate of mine who interned at time magazine has now published a book that has received some good reviews. the book, called "in the image", is even in the window of one of my favorite bookstores, st. mark's bookshop, which i walk by several times a day.
a current classmate of mine recently had his novel accepted by a publisher and he even sent out an email survey for its new title. that was kind of cool.
does this make me feel inconsequential? like i haven't done anything with my life? no. not really. empirically i am happy for their successes. i know that my life has had its share of successes and maybe that doesn't mean there are zillions of households who recognize my name and i don't have a book at some table at barnes and noble, but i have touched many lives and i have done many good things -- at 25 years. and i'm happy in that.
besides, with the sheer number of books that end up in remote shelves at the strand, at the very least i can be glad i'm not relegated to that fate. yet.
