a new (tea) leaf

It's been a summer invoking much agonizing. summer loves and changes always do end in afternoons of tea and sympathy. I've decided that although I love the long days and warm nights, the lazy beach days and abundance of fabulous fruit that accompanies summer, I'm looking forward to those moments when I can rug up with a good book and good CD, listening to the rain outside all by my lonesome...
And most of all I'm looking forward to the day when I can be all by my lonesome and not feel afraid of being alone, of being the one left out in the cold.
I'm starting to learn the timeless lesson of not looking to another one (and only one) person to validate who I am and accept me. It's the beginning of seeing that putting someone on a pedestal and holding them high and dry above everyone else is pointless and doesn't justify neglecting those who are there for me all along nor myself.

currently in my cd player:
George - Polyserena
Jaco Pastorious - Word of Mouth
The Roots - Game Theory

(how's that for a bit of variety?)
