Talk for Talk's Sake. I come here thinking that this blog is nearly two years old. I began this project with a very hopeful and dedicated post: https:/ yadayadapourlayada.wordpress.com/2012/01/27/why-write-why-here-why-not/. I think this blog lived up to the expectations I had for it, and I wrote some really great texts here. Book reviews, expositions, poetry, prose, reflections, letters, and unwritings. This blog, like the rest of the pieces of my life, had a really good run. 8211; I graduated finally.

https://yadayadapourlayada.wordpress.com/2013/12/22/a-subjective-summary-of-sara-ahmeds-introduction-to-the-promise-of-happiness

Talk for Talk's Sake. A Subjective Summary of Sara Ahmed’s Introduction to ‘The Promise of Happiness’. Ahmed starts us off by asking in her heading “Why Happiness, Why Now? 8221; Her question is good not only in the pertinence of it, but in the permanence of asking. The. Becomes a forever present, which is a smart way to begin her eventual relationship to this philosophical elusive. She will want us to realize how happiness is a thing so much as it is no thing. ( It slips away to gray. You’re going...

Talk for Talk's Sake. Sitting in a car smashed to pieces. Reality rear-ended me today. in the kind of hard that goes BOOM and then your eyes flash to a rearview mirror, focusing on near-death certainty coming right at you. Broken pieces of bumpers and gnarled hoods. screams from children. a woman shouting, “What the hell is wrong with you? 8221; A guilty man with the face of defeated ignorance. Every crash begins by accident. Plastic, reality-perforated sculptures of brake lights look a lot like my heart.

https://yadayadapourlayada.wordpress.com/2013/12/13/curses

Talk for Talk's Sake. Normally, I’d be happy to wake to the sound of rain. It pings on my roof; that’s how I know it’s there. But today, I woke up cursing to myself. I’ll have to carry my son in this weather. The ice. His not waterproof splint. The last final of the semester. Friday the 13th. I wasn’t superstitious until I loved someone who was. He cursed this year, cursing us. The last Friday the 13th of the 13th year. What I’d give to make it all go away. What if he wasn’t okay? Mothers know these ques...

Talk for Talk's Sake. The gift of goodness and love. I sometimes come off as a victim, I know. This must turn people off. Turn people off enough to leave me and my son, the abandonment cycle always ongoing, creating more harm, pain, and sadness to endure and try to overcome. If only there was someone to love me with empathy and without resentment for who I am and for who I am trying not to be. So, to begin my conversation with someone who refuses to let the overarching institutions speak for him and sile...

GODDESSES |

https://yadayadapourlayada.wordpress.com/2013/12/26/goddesses

Talk for Talk's Sake. Going back and forth and to and from Kate Zambreno’s. Caring for my son, and my own scribbling in my journal. I write down that “i found a way to write again.” Lucky me. Lucky for the pain. I lock myself up in the bathroom to cry so my son won’t hear me and be worried. What if i don’t need to be saved? What if i say maybe someday, but i can’t see past today? Or maybe women like us don’t. Do all men leave? Kate reassures me that it isn’t just me. That my loneliness is mine ...I remem...
