“I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.” -Sylvia Plath
I'm thinking I need to have this quote printed on cards, and give them to the new people I meet. I'm always asked, and ask this question of others myself, "What do you like to do?" My answer sounds wishy washy, "I don't know...I'm figuring that out." I suppose I could list visiting thrift stores, eating in restraunts, meeting new people, but what I really like is trying and learning new things...maybe that should be my answer.
Its been a quiet week so far, but I did manage a quick trip to the thrift store; my wardrobe needs refreshed. I first went to the mall, wandering the department stores, but I find it overwhelming and a bit boring; I've never been a mall shopper. I much prefer rummaging through racks of odd clothes, its the treasure hunter in me. I was delighted to find this skirt, that fits me like it was tailored to my body, and while its a bit dressy, I can take it down a notch with a graphic tee...which I will search for in a thrift store.
And this, because I've decided I can not date anyone who doesn't drink coffee.
