oh, i did catch up on my reading too! I'M NOW IN INDONESIA!!! although i still have a few pages left. around 200 :) i am becoming more and more in tune with liz. i am liz. i swear i am her. lemme share with you a few lines that i loved (most i can relate to):
* Bhuta ia dewa ia- Man is a demon, man is a god. Both true.
* Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel the world looking for it.
* Even in the worst tragedies and crisis, there's no reason to add to everyone's misery by looking miserable yourself.
and now for my favorite:
LIZ: I don't think I'm ready for it. I don't feel like going through all the effort of romance again, you know? I don't feel like having to shave my legs every day or having to show my body to a new lover. And I don't want to have to tell my life story all over again, or worry about birth control. Anyway, I'm not even sure I know how to do it anymore. I feel like I was more confident about sex and romance when I was sixteen than I am now.
FELIPE: Of course, you were. You were young and stupid then. Only the young and the stupid are confident about sex and romance.Do you think any of us know what we're doing? Do you think there's any way humans can love each other without complication? You should see how it happens in Bali, darling. All these Western men come here after they've made a mess of their lives back home, and they decided they've had it with Western women, and they go marry some tiny, sweet, obedient little Balinese teenage girl. I know what they're thinking. They think this pretty little girl will make them happy, make their lives easy. But whenever I see it happen, I always say the same thing. Good luck. Because you still have a woman in front of you, my friend. And you are still a man. It's still two human being trying to get along, so it's going to become complicated. And love is always complicated. But still humans must try to love each other, darling. We must get our hearts broken sometimes. This is a good sign, having a broken heart. It means we have tried for something.
will share some others in my next post. as for now, enjoy the late posts :) :) :) miss y'all!!!
P.S.
this is one of my shortest trips to bora but the key is in seizing the moment. when you are at a place, don't ever say "when i come back here" or "the next time i am here" and you will definitely feel like 4 days is equal to a month :)
