oscarmentor

i was once excited b/c i thought i'd finally landed a 'mentor'.
the post is short: here

she won an oscar on sunday, so that may now be out of reach. :)
her name was announced, i lept up and jumped around, giddy, elated, in awe. she is amazing. i'm glad now the world acknowledges.

then, i began feeling a soft sense of loss. wondered what that feeling was. that thing we feel once we begin to see someone we know launch towards stardom.

fear of losing contact with them? becoming small and insignificant to someone whom you were once something bigger? whatever it be, i believe at the heart of it is the desire to be loved.

but either way, i am elated for her.
i trust a mentor will come when he or she is supposed to appear. for now, i celebrate with her from afar!
