In Which Winter goes away too soon, and the routine once again, for my joy

Why hello there, sir friend, good morning and happy new week! How was your previous one, and how are you today, on this week that begins? As for me, I am okay, I'd say... after a bit of a positively happy birthday week, even with any sorrow that may have afflicted me, ah, it is what it is, just satisfied in retrospect with the birthday moments! It was low key, but I had a good piece of cheesecake! How is the weather in your side of things? Here, it has been heating up, as if spring arrived earlier. Overall, even with a drier winter, the subtle heat was perceived, as the sweater days are more scarce, and the socks start to spend more time in their drawer. The slippers change, the cushioned one is slowly being lesser used, why the others are more enjoyed, though soon it will be uncomfortable for those as well, and the typical rubber open shoes in japanese fashion will be in full swing again. Ordinary changes, but enough to make me want to write about them, and even to start a new pos...

In Which I am Moved by The music composed by Gabriel Faure

Good evening, dear friend, reader of this post! Happy Friday, I wish you the best! How are you, today? How are things? I am doing okay! Just waking up, overall! This Thursday was not the most productive one, this will be fixed today, so I hope. I really wish I could draw. For that to happen, though, I'd have to be less fatigued. My brain less foggy. Why does it feel like that? Most likely I drank too much coffee... I really should consider cutting a bit on it, once again. I tried to cut it last year, but to little avail, it did not help I thought the more I drank the more I would be creative and disposed. I supposed less is more, after all, on this matter. Also, to not immediately fall asleep once more, I put a very cold towell on my face. My friend recommended me this. Did it work? I can only say I did not fall asleep, after all...



On other talks, I today listened once again to my most amazing and favorite composer, the french Gabriel Faure. I must say, it was like I was listening to him for the first time, all over. I started with his piece on Pelleas et Melisande, called Sicilienne, but what truly shook me this time was his work called Pavanne. I am not sure if it is the audio, if it was the moment, but I could hear it so well, and I was deeply moved by it, like I said, as if listening to it for the first time, once again... I trust I mentioned Gabriel Faure before on this blog. He is the best, my favorite composer. I think Claude Debussy may also be one of my favorites, they both are french which is a coincidence! The piece by Claude Debussy called La Mer: l'aube a midi sur la mer (From the dawn till noon at the sea)... how appropriate that it is a song about being at the sea, as it is a place I've been next to for so long in my life, at different beaches... the city I live is by the sea, so was my childhood house... so was my place of summer vacation... Debussy makes me like the sea more than being next to it ever could, I guess. True and proper music can do that! 

What else will I do, today? I am hungry, hopefully lunch will be up soon. I may return to my apartment after spending some days in the house of my grandma. She is about to move out from here, some months from now. That would be a weird experience, because this is a house I've been in and out for 25 years or so! One of my favorite places, and soon it will be no more. That is sad. I guess things in life have a moment to end. Things have been ending, lesser things come in its place, such is decay, such is my life. Something appealing about melancholy, and this narrative, though not entirely so. Life is more than that. More than the year of 2012, when I had the best year of my teenage time. 11 years ago! Why at moments I feel stuck in the worst year of my life, 2014? Trauma? Loneliness?... I am not sure. 

I have been meaning to write a post here yesterday, but as I said, I was tired, so it was not productive. I am happy I could write this today, though! When should I be back, as I am wrapping things up hopefully this paragraph? I may return Sunday, or next week. Since February is soon to end, I will have a post to wrap up the month, at some point between Wednesday and Thursday, God willing. For now, though, I bid you farewell, wish you the best! See you again real soon!
