You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

22 July, 2008 /

I’ve been researching for the book I am desperately trying to write. Since I am not a professional, my first plan of action is watching movies. Good movies, lame movies, independent movies and foreign movies. I figure if I can get a handle on this ‘love’ thing and how other people go about dealing with the ups and downs of it, this book will write itself.

So far this is meat of my book: You Stay or You Leave. If you stay, stay hard and hang on. If you leave, leave for good and don’t come back hoping to get back what you had.

It’s pretty much all that bullshit in between the meat that needs to be worked out. Like, the shit that comes with staying and shit that comes with going. I mean, who would guess that staying and going would be SO MUCH WORK. Who would guess that being caught in the in between would be work too.

So far the majority of this mess I have learned to always ask, ‘We okay?’ and hope that what comes out his mouth is the same that I am saying my head.
