I’m really craving a holiday at the moment, especially when writing practice essays on 'To Kill a Mockingbird' (excellent book though it is). If I had a choice, I’d go back to Morocco. It is the most beautiful country I have ever experienced: you don't visit Morocco, you experience it. The only word I can think of to do it justice is magical; the heat, the smell of spices and raw meat, the bright fabrics and paints, the tinny music of the snake charmer; the beautiful shouts of exotic tongues, the amazing food... I've truly never experienced anything like it.

Live every day like today is the day it’s going to happen. That and Aesop Rock’s jam “Lucy” keep her focused and motivated. If you’re not living you’re dreams no one is going to do it for you. It’s amazing how lucid those thoughts are when the smoke has literally cleared. She doesn’t know what’s going to happen with to her lush of a roommate - perpetually sleeping on the couch after too many beers. She’s trying to run off the resentment in a commitment to healthier living and thinking. She’s afraid of what her roommate is going to say.

What if, as an experiment, whenever you opened your mouth to speak, you stopped...

and thought...

about the effect your words might have
about how what you say might be heard
about how you would feel in the listener’s place

I wonder.

Most of the time, even after thinking, you’d probably continue to speak. And it would be ok.

But maybe... sometimes... the thoughts you had about the words you were about to say might motivate you...

to say something kinder or gentler
less judgmental
more positive

or, to say nothing at all

I might just give it a try.
