Today, I am feeling kinda melancholy. I have a love-hate relationship with these days, as they force me to take a good look at my life and it's surroundings, the people in it, things like that. I have lost friends because of my melancholy days. I have also gained a lot of insight as to who I truly am because of them.
So there I was this morning, waiting for my bus downtown (damn that bus, it's chronically late!). I have inspiration, and no paper. Cell phone is dead. I have a pen! I was about to write on my friggen arm. Then I found a business card and started writing on the back of it. I wanted it to be kind of poetry-esq. However, I couldn't turn it into a poem. So decided to make it a checklist type of thing. Sort of an inventory of myself. I suppose it's not all there. I suppose there are many other words to describe myself. It's difficult to start it all with "I am", but it was my inspiration, therefore I felt obliged.

I am… determined
I am… oversensitive
