just some dark-red thoughts
for me, few things are more frustrating than trying to describe myself, so do not hate on me for failing at this. I might just say: Hello, my name is Merima. That's how my parents named me some time after I got out of my mother's womb with an undecided kick. Nice meeting you, you stranger. I hope you enjoy reading some of my errand thoughts on this somewhat pathetic failure of blog. Stay healthy and eat fruit!

So my mom and I have been working the same waitress job for 5-6 years now. She had been waitressing years before, but this is recently. Anyway, about… 15 minutes ago this guy she waited on left and told her to take care. Just that. Prior to this she had talked to him about Italy. Her people are from Florence, this and that, and she said she’s never been. She’s got 8 years of art education and she’s working a waitress job. It’s pretty… Sad and disappointing, I guess. Her and my father divorced 6 years ago and she hasn’t had a real job ever. Just been stuck in a small town she’s not from.
This man who we have never seen before tipped her 1000 dollars for a trip to Italy. Walked out, not another word.
…you know. Just when I start to lose faith in humanity….Hm.

Today I came across goats playing on a trampoline while I was driving around and it was the happiest thing I’ve ever seen.
Tippi Benjamine Okanti Degré, daughter of French wildlife photographers Alain Degré and Sylvie Robert, was born in Namibia. During her childhood she befriended many wild animals, including a 28-year old elephant called Abu and a leopard nicknamed J&B. She was embraced by the Bushmen and the Himba tribespeople of the Kalahari, who taught her how to survive on roots and berries, as well as how to speak their language.
