A Pale Pink City

My Life in Fiction

Arrival of the Birds

So the last two months have been awful. Just awful

Grandpa passed on 1.9.2019 at 6 in the morning.

We missed him by a few minutes.

I don’t think I’ll ever forget seeing my dad and the rest of my family cry like that.

Going to his funeral and burial was just so bizarre for me too. It felt so fake, like it wasn’t actually happening.

I mean, he’d been actively dying for a few days before he passed and was sick for a while before then. But still. You never really are ready for something like, you know? It’s just so unnatural.

We are all just in a bit of a funk. I don’t know what to say.

 

 

On another note, I was reacquainted with a former flame. He keeps me going and for that I’m thankful.

Let see where this goes.

Don’t Leave Me- BTS

OMG this song is the best though.

Seriously, it’s been on loop for me the past two days lol the lyrics, the melody, the strings with the synthesizers…ugh, it’s so good.

I especially appreciate the poetic lyrics, like:

時が流れるほど
深まる君の
過去と未来の間にいる僕は今

The more time flows the more it deepens
I’m between your past and future right now

Ugh, I mean how poetic is that?? The implications that as time passes, the relationship between the two parties become stronger, more deeply intrenched and that he’s currently your present, aka the fleeting here and now.

It’s beautiful. I mean, ugh, the artist in me is just melting from the appreciation hahaha

I’ve always been a sucker for poetry and the flow of words. It all comes together in such a pretty way. Words are so powerful in that they can evoke such strong emotional responses, draw imagery in your mind. It’s really such a gift that we were bestowed with <3

Anyways

Did I tell you that I went to see Lucia Di Lammermoor with the cousin and sisters on Tuesday, 4/3/2018?? Bc I did. And man, it was amazing, even if it wasn’t an opera that I’m particularly fond of lol

Sohee enjoyed herself, I think. I think she was more impressed with the Lincoln Center more than anything bc let’s be honest, the center is BEAUTIFUL. And I can never tire of those glorious swarovski crystal chandeliers and the gilded gold ceilings and the two Chagall murals gracing either side of the hall. It’s ornate and luxurious and I just love walking up the plush red velvet covered grand staircase. It’s amazing 🙂

And the music! There’s such a beautiful tonal quality of the orchestra that melds perfectly from where we sat in the Family Circle (FC for life LOLOL) and the singer for Edgardo-he was amazing!! Vittorino something or other lol

 

Don’t Leave Me-BTS

Lucia Di Lammermoor last night which was awesome 😍😍

Glad the cousin liked it haha and also the Greek food we had too, so good 😍

Now I wanna see Whipped Cream by Richard Strauss, maybe I’ll get a group going or something haha probably sisters only bc I can’t imagine brothers going to see a ballet hahaha or maybe they’d want to go? Idk

I was doing a lot of thinking…

Well I guess I have to see how things play out lol

Btw the new album from Bts is so good, the lyrics for the above song especially 😍😍
