a meta love story
Welcome to this experiment in seeking.
Seeking what you might ask? Stories of synchronicity. They usually start with that feeling of electricity going down the spine with the most unexpected circumstances sending the strongest jolt. The idea is that perhaps someone somewhere experienced the same idea or thought pattern that invited the shock. Be specific though. For instance, my friend on the other side of the world and I both wore magenta socks today. Neither of us has worn magenta socks, nor did we discuss possessing them. That's synchronicity!

somebody asked why I stopped going to shows
The same person inquired about my style. Both questions were left unanswered in the moment. Style is kind of an eclectic longing for a return to classic design. Anyone remember Abercrombie before the marketers got a hold of that brand? Now if the craving hits, Athleta is my go-to for ideas and satiation ultimately holding out for the long term vision. In a word… comfy.
About the shows though. The pham would call such variables excuses and this I have finally reconciled but Halloween with HORNs. Need say more? It was an unspoken agreement among my crew to disperse after a peak which still stands tall beside some of the best in years to come. We all felt a sense of responsibility to both finding a career path and investing what little disposal income we had locally. The other side of it was lack of moderation in practice and theory, all or nothing. It still gets me but that drive for perfectionism and how to choose battles becomes more obvious with age. Technology helps too somewhat. On one hand, we can be a part of in some cases and listen to a show within minutes of when it transpires but this dynamic makes hitting the road at all costs that much more enticing. Ahhh, Bangor! It doesn’t seem possible today but the magnetism is growing stronger. The story was complete in 1995 or so I told myself. Was that sense of finality a protective mental construct or a true reaction to being fully satiated? Even today I still don’t feel as though a whole tour has been earned but now there’s a reason beyond personal satisfaction, Penny Lane with a purpose perhaps?

Let me tell you a thing, about an amazing man named Patrick Stewart
I went to Comicpalooza this weekend and I was full of nervous energy as I was standing in line to ask Sir Patrick Stewart a question at his panel. I first had to thank him for a speech he had given at amnesty international about domestic violence towards women . I had only seen it a few months ago but I was still dealing with my own personal experience with a similar issue, and I didn’t know what to call it. After seeing Patrick talk so personally about it I finally was able to correctly call it abuse, in my case sexual abuse that was going to quickly turn into physical abuse as well. I didn’t feel guilty or disgusting anymore. I finally didn’t feel responsible for the abuse that was put upon me. I was finally able to start my healing process and to put that part of my life behind me.
After thanking him I asked him “Besides acting, what are you most proud of that you have done in you life (that you are willing to share with us)?”. Sir Patrick told us about how he couldn’t protect his mother from abuse in his household growing up and so in her name works with an organization called Refuge for safe houses for women and children to escape from abusive house holds. Sir Patrick Stewart learned only last year that his father had actually been suffering from PTSD after he returned from the military and was never properly treated. In his father’s name he works with an organization called Combat Stress to help those soldiers who are suffering from PTSD.
They were about to move onto the next question when Sir Patrick looked at me and asked me “My Dear, are you okay?” I said yes, and that I was finally able to move on from that part of my life. He then passionately said that his mother had done nothing to provoke his father and that even if she had, violence was never, ever a choice a man should make. That it is in the power of men to stop violence towards women. The moderator then asked “Do you want a hug?”
Sir Patrick didn’t even hesitate, he smiled, hopped off the stage and came over to embrace me in a hug. Which he held me there for a long while. He told me “You never have to go through that again, you’re safe now.” I couldn’t stop thanking him. His embrace was so warm and genuine. It was two people, two strangers, supporting and giving love. And when we pulled away he looked strait in my eyes, like he was promising that. He told me to take care. And I will.
Sir Patrick Stewart is an absolute roll model for men. He is an amazing man and was so kind and full of heart. I want to let everyone know to please find help if you are in a violent or abusive house hold or relationship. There are organizations and people ready to help. I had countless people after the panel thanking me for sharing the story and asking him those questions. Many said they went through similar things. You are not alone.

It’s all about falling in love with yourself and sharing that love with someone who appreciates you, rather than looking for love to compensate for a self love deficit.”
— Eartha KittThanks to the person who originally shared this quote on tumblr. (via mimimph)
When that love is established the agreement that neither deserves such a connection might be the foundation which will not erode.
Structural integrity for the ages.
