I wish you were a jerk to me. It’s hard to hate someone when they’re nice to your face.

Of Nostalgia and Speculation
I don’t need you to validate my existence but I was hoping you could enhance the moments that leave me breathless and share the moments that cause me pain. And in the twilight you could tell me that the stars above are just mirrors of all who have gone before us. It would be so nice to wake up in the morning with the sunlight streaming in. And the pages of history books caressed by tiny...

of villains and hidden stories.
Things shouldn’t be judged by how much you want them. I never understood why. I thought I could just have fun. That would solve my problem. Maybe if I disregard all the consequences I would be able to do what you’ve done this whole time. I haven’t changed my mind. I still feel the same way about you. I just don’t want to be you. And honestly after everything I know about...

This is my official goodbye. I wish you all the best. I wish you were right but you’re all kinds of wrong.

Just like always
We can lie under the night sky and you’ll point out the stars to me, telling me to remember their names, their coordinates because it’s the kind of thing you do. And afterwards you tell me that you’re cold just to see if I care. And we’ll walk home in silence. Our hands hovering over each other but never touching, never meeting, like friends of friends barely acquainted....

Saudi Arabia’s Freedom Riders
A version of this op-ed appeared in print on June 13, 2011, on page A23 and online at http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/13/opinion/13Milani.html?src=recg
THE Arab Spring is inching its way into Saudi Arabia — in the cars of fully veiled drivers.
On the surface, when a group of Saudi women used Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to organize a mass mobile protest defying the kingdom’s ban on women...

of happy songs and tragic poems
I started this tumblr because I couldn’t deal with the hundred thousand things whirling around in my brain like a hurricane. When I had the choice to let him go or force him to stay. I could have chained his heart to mine so that if he ever tried to leave he would rip our hearts out and they would shatter together. It would have taught him a lesson. I wouldn’t have cried when it...

Of Red Light Bulbs and why they are awesome
Dear Citizens of Earth.
The following is a summarized transcript of Kujira’s proposal for the mandatory use of red light bulbs to increase productivity and happiness.
You don’t understand red light bulbs are the catalyst. If I had that red light bulb everything would just keep getting better and better. If you had a red light bulb at the mountains you would just keep getting more...

of wanting to believe
that you are the most perfect guy in the whole entire universe. You’re an astrophysicist. You know how vast the universe is. That’s how perfect you are. Sure you’re not perfect in a Da Vinci/Golden Ratio kind of way. And sometimes your grand delusions are so grand it becomes ridiculous. But you’re so well versed I find myself believing in you. And sometimes your logic...

Stop
talking to me as if you know me. I don’t want you to know me. Let’s keep playing games so I can pretend that you didn’t just say that ppl are only with me to sleep with me. Don’t play with my insecurities. Don’t let me hear you say what the voices are whispering.

When you meet your mental match and suddenly you realize other ppl are not stupid. They’re just not you.
I should stop talking to you before I get hurt but I don’t because I need to hear you say goodbye first. I need you to tell me that nothing will happen and that I am reading too much into things. And that I’m just believing my own words. Ignoring all prior warnings and advise. Why do I even bother keeping on with the facade? Please stop casting your shadows on my mind. I am falling...
That moment when he tells you
he’s just having fun. What do I do? Do I wait for you? Why are you telling me all of this? I don’t want to be dragged around again. So please stop talking to me. If you have no intentions of being more than just my friend let me know so I can file you in the appropriate box. Cause I would hold my breath for you. But not if there’s nothing waiting just beyond the months.

I am a horrible person when I am happy. I lose the ability to write. The ability to think clearly. I become a stupid vacuous shell of a human being deprived of any critical or analytical thinking. I become restless. I bask in the familiar. And strangely I want this to mean something more. I won’t admit it. Until you do.

There’s a guy.
Of course it’s a guy. What else would it be?
He’s perfect.
So what else is new?
He’s everything I have ever wanted.
For now.
That’s not fair.
It’s the truth.
I don’t fall in love that often.
Every day is a rare occurence to you?

just let me get some sleep without your face or voice invading my dreams for long enough for me to say I don’t think about you at all. i awoke with half a prayer in my lips. there are signs scattered around here. but i can’t find a single one. the world is all shades of grey. you are a fleeting leaf riding the southern rush.
