A Writer’s Manifesto:
This blog serves as living quarters for the many musings and inspirations that have squished Melissa Jun Rowley's heart and mind into different shapes. Until recently, she drew love on her arms and wrote verses on the mirrors in her house. Tumblr is much tidier.

➜People with interesting lives have no vanity. They swap cities. Invest in projects with no guarantees. Are interested in people who are their polar opposites. Resign without having another job in sight. Accept invitations to do things they have never done before. Are prepared to change their favorite color, their favorite dish. They start from zero countless times. They are not frightened about growing old. They climb on stage, shear their hair, do crazy things for love, and buy one way tickets.Gio Sguario

The fog horn whistle blows, and the sleep I never thought this ride would let me reach begins to creep, sweet—first long then deep, interval sleep, the kind that exhales the secrets we keep. In another narrative, I may have counted sheep, but tonight I’ll talk to the shepherd. -MJR

RELATIONSHIP LESSON: One night President Obama and his wife Michelle decided to do something out of routine and go for a casual dinner at a restaurant that wasn’t too luxurious. When they were seated, the owner of the restaurant asked the President’s secret service if he could please speak to the First Lady in private. They obliged and Michelle had a conversation with the owner.
Following this conversation President Obama asked Michelle, “Why was he so interested in talking to you?” She mentioned that in her teenage years, he had been madly in love with her. President Obama then said, “So if you had married him, you would now be the owner of this lovely restaurant?” Michelle responded, “No, if I had married him, he would now be the President.”
Believe it or not, sometimes it’s a woman that makes a man who he is. So for the single men that are still searching for a wife, may God help you to find that help mate that will turn you from ” a nobody” into “a somebody”. For that single lady that is reading this, may you be that blessing no man can do without. -
