Ojos Bonitos Diaries
A little bit more excitement
Today, I found myself missing the excitement of the old normal. Before, it was easy to get into those moments. A call to be somewhere, to meet someone, to be someplace in particular – just something to just get you out of your routine and the sometimes static uniformity of life. It was always so dynamic to be mobile, and in a sense, getting used to that gives its own unique high.

How much more advantageous is it living in this century or even this decade? It’s funny, the movie You’ve Got Mail was just brought up during dinner and we were talking about how it was the advent of e-mail when it came out. And then the subject of telegrams came up and it’s notable to me how the first thing that came into my mind was the messaging software instead of the telegraphy technology that’s been a popular mode of communication during the time of my grandparents.
The Power of a Good Listener
Eckhart Tolle was saying that when you listen, you do not just listen with your ears – you listen with your whole body – your whole spirit, even. And when you do, the one who is being listened to will feel it – will feel such a profound connection to you, will feel so accepted and loved with the energy of your attention – and this is the start of any real communion between human beings.

Pandemic Love Languages
Expression is so much more stifled these days. It’s been so much harder to read people’s facial expressions because half of their faces are covered. It’s funny – it’s like I’ve suddenly been in a long distance relationship with most of my friends. Lovers used to have a choice. Now there’s barely any other option.
