This blows my mind!
But one piece of evidence is telling: if you saw a Guugu Yimithirr speaker pointing at himself, you would naturally assume he meant to draw attention to himself. In fact, he is pointing at a cardinal direction that happens to be behind his back. While we are always at the center of the world, and it would never occur to us that pointing in the direction of our chest could mean anything other than...

Alright Tumblr, I’m baaaack. I’ve had a brief stint in Europe and became a college graduate, but I’ve come back wiser. I think. I am also seeing another, by the blog name: sarahikeda.com and frontseatbeat.wordpress.com. I understand you’re seeing a few others yourself, so I know you’ll understand my need to explore other options. But yeah. I couldn’t keep...

“On the other hand, if I’m in the middle of a book that amazes me, I’ll actually hug it. If the book extends its impact right to the last page, I might actually kiss the cover, or offer a heartfelt “thank you.” I know that sounds demented, but I am demented, books matter that much to me. I can’t quite imagine embracing a Kindle.”

“Your head will get turned around a bit if your unusual bicycle accident gets labeled by village neighbors as an attack by hill spirits, or if you wake in the middle of the night in your mud-brick house to the rustlings of a nearby poisonous snake, or if you feel the need to consult a diviner for writer’s block, but those events are the mere particulars of a larger cultural universe.

Being disoriented scares me. I’ve been reading my grandma’s updates about my step grandpa and he’s rapidly losing his sense of the world. He wakes up and gets lost within their one-story house. He asks questions which refer to situations that have long past. He mixes up the time of day. His regression is frightening and in my usual “me” philosophy, I can’t...
Hello there,
I don’t know if I believe in you 100%. There’s always a part of me that feels fraudulent when admitting your existence aloud. But I believe in what you create. There is something so wholesome, so intricate to your world—to our world. It is special. This weekend I feel like I have absorbed a lot of the goodness which has arisen through you and through humanity...
FU Comcast!
Therese: Hello Sarah, thank you for contacting Comcast Live Chat Support. My name is Therese. The reason why your bill increased is because your internet promotion at $19.99 per month has already expired. It was only for 6 months. You are now billed for the full value price of this service at $42.95 monthly. I would advise that you contact us again after you have been billed for the non-promotional price for three billing cycles in order to avail of new promotions.
Me: if I choose to cancel my service, is there any discount?
Therese: Thank you for understanding Sarah.
Therese: Why would you want to cancel your service?
Me: because it is costly
Me: and not a necessity
Me: / we are college students
Today I woke up sad. I can’t explain it, especially not after the last two days (which have been truly wonderful).
I miss you and you haven’t left yet. You are so much a part of me and it really hurts to know that you’ll be gone in….fourth months. Good god, crying about this now is nonsensical, isn’t it?
Yesterday it really hit me. What am I going to do when...
Excerpt from Story for WR 324
Of all people in existence, it is my mother who I identify with, for she is almost my identity entirely. I’ve spent years emulating her gestures and watching her movements with microscopic precision. Like some type of fabric or woody sticks, I’ve weaved my way in and out, until I’ve conjoined my habits with her own. I developed this consciousness as a child but honed my expertise as an adult...
I think as a whole, I am proud of myself. I really grew into a more settled, believable human being this year. I’ve extended friendships to unexpected acquaintances. I’ve let loose and let go.
This weekend bears evidence of this transition. The Crystal Ballroom holds an 80s video dance party on a routine basis and by chance, we attended. Although there is safety in numbers, I...

Today I am immersed in passions.
A world of tea, of poetry, of candles (the vanilla kind), of fiction. Of humor and love and ideals. This is the time to really indulge in what defines me and what I enjoy. What piques my interest and fulfills my whims.
I think I want to interview people for a living. I love describing people through their nature. I love finding out about someone through...
