Remember Brillo?

I was in a cleaning frenzy yesterday. Those unfortunately rare occurences where I become temporarily OCD. Scrubbing the pots making dinner that night, I was so thorough and detailed, used much more soap than I needed and left no crumb uncovered. It felt great while doing it. I can't imagine being that way everyday. In the middle of this frenzy i remembered a friend of mine who I hadn't seen in a while and it made me smile. I wonder I'll remember them in 20 years or will it just fade from my mind and disappear. 

I was married once before. I haven't seen nor heard from my ex-husband in over 20 years. That is incredible to me. It's as if our relationship ceased to exist except that a star was named after my then married name and presented to me by Elizabeth Taylor thanking me for being a part in the design and launch of one of her fragrances "Black Pearls". Funny.

Freedom

0 | 1
on | off
yes | no

I passed the tipping point
A victory and a surrender
I let go
And now I soar

I was in it for so long
Optimistic

It was like the light came on
The sun came out
And allowed me to see
The truth

I was in it for a while
Now I'm out
Black and white
Victory and Surrender

On or off?
