Permalink longreads: On making a move from the City to the South. Steven Boone and other New Yorkers have headed to Warner Robins, Georgia: Like so many young black parents, she moved south not just to provide her children with a more secure environment but also to escape the punishing New York rents. In Warner Robins, entire homes in quiet areas rent for less than a single room in Bed Stuy. Townhouses on well-kept complexes, complete with pool and 24-hour gym access, go for as little as $450 a month and rarely higher than $850. In Macon, the college town next door (and geographically the true dead center of Georgia), gorgeous historic homes rent for as low as $400 a month and often no more than $650. (The local rumor is that, as lovely as the homes are, the ghosts in them insure frequent turnaround. Cool.) This new wave of African-Americans heading south has been called the Second Great Migration or the Reverse Migration, in contrast to last century’s black exodus from a segregated, hostile South to opportunities in the North. “A Reverse Migration from Post-Crack New York.” — Steven Boone, Capital New York See also: “The Uprooted.” — Jill Lepore, The New Yorker, Sept. 6, 2010 Race, politics whatever aside, I’ve never loved anyplace as much as Macon, GA. Thinking about moving there myself!

Something Sweet to Throw Away

lifeofthings:

my favorite part: “The useless days will add up to something. The shitty waitressing jobs. The hours writing in your journal. The long meandering walks. The hours reading poetry and story collections and novels and dead people’s diaries and wondering about sex and God and whether you should shave under your arms or not. These things are your becoming.”

“You are not a terrible person for wanting to break up with someone you love. You don’t need a reason to leave. Wanting to leave is enough. Leaving doesn’t mean you’re incapable of real love or that you’ll never love anyone else again. It doesn’t mean you’re morally bankrupt or psychologically demented or a nymphomaniac. It means you wish to change the terms of one particular relationship. That’s all. Be brave enough to break your own heart.”

This is the kind of cute little piece people like to read. Will make you smile for a minute.

If all my mistakes
led me to you, maybe they
aren’t mistakes, at all.

Permalink I don’t know that the two are mutually exclusive. I think trying constantly to impress someone is a good thing. I want to prove everyday I can be better and I think continuing to work at that, and not slacking off is part of being in a healthy relationship that grows steadily. I think that you have to be with someone who does notice and is impressed for it to work though.

My Horoscope

Say what you will about astrology and horoscopes that you find on your dashboard, but this was incredibly reassuring.

Looking back can be very educational and enlightening today. You’ll notice a real pattern of behavior that will help you move forward. This is a day to be confident of your decisions — don’t worry about what other people think of you. Walking forward with confidence might take a bit of false bravado at first, but once you get a sense of comfort with your new swagger, you’ll never be meek or mild again. Your growing strength will ensure that mistakes you’ve made in the past will not be repeated.

I just wrote a five page letter basically to that effect.
And I am very, very scared.
