lemon wedges

I considered to start blogging under an anonymous name for the simple purpose of being unveiled. Here's my two cents: if my identity remains unknown, I have nothing to show for, no one to prove, or the mere substance of being judged. Trust me - the suspense will go a long way.

...scratch that idea - my name is Kyla, I can barely reach the top shelf of my kitchen cabinets and I'll challenge you to a game of Soul Calibur anyday .. win or lose.

Let me start off with today, how my day began - and what it's become as of right now. 1:29.
I woke up this morning with full satisfaction, I felt as if I hadn't been dragged out of bed. Waking up on your own time makes mornings so much easier. Which is what startled me at first. I never wake up on my own time, when I'm suppose to. I turned my head over to catch those green lights blinking 8:28; my work starts at 9:00, and I live exactly 45 minutes away. This was crushing, then I realized that my bosses don't scowl when I'm late so I begin to dress calmly. My walk to the sky train wasn't as refreshing, I began to think of what my life would look like imprinted in the pages of a hard cover book. (Which is another reason why I've started this blogging concept) Maybe one day, I'll turn this online diary into a best seller.

My life is quite ordinary, I haven't done anything that an average 'young adult' hasn't. I've graduated highschool, got accepted into a college, made some friends and also lost a few. Yes, I have a boyfriend that I love, and one day we'll call each other teenage sweethearts. I work for a publication / non profit organization which I will soon be leaving due to terms that was agreed when I first got hired.

I am on an extended lunch break, I have two more in the office days here, and I must savor them. I only have two articles left to write and if I do them now, there won't be any point for me to come into tomorrow, which means one less day of pay. Everything can be turned into something positive, so that also means I get to sleep in. Not worry about alarm clocks for another week.

I'm drinking a 7-Up, and I just finished a meal that cost me 6.99. Wild sock-eye salmon with penne and pesto pasta with a Caesar salad.

I've never thrown away a dream, I don't like to think of it like that. I put them hold, I'll come back to it later. If it was meant to be ... then I have nothing to worry about.

I'm going to go back to my salad. There's a lemon wedge waiting for me to feast on.
