Evolving Metamorph…
By Jane Tanfei|Apr 30 2013 | Curiousity, Metaphysical Discussion, Thoughts, Writings
Today, I can feel myself changing. There are certain things that I have thought about today that do not bother me as much as they would have bothered me even a few weeks ago. This morning, I thought, “Maybe I’ve finally grown up.” But, I don’t even know what “grown up” means… I will never […]

Melancholia
By Jane Tanfei|Apr 03 2013 | Metaphysical Discussion, Thoughts
I am a Melancholic. This is my nature – to be wistful, sorrowful, morose. It is not on purpose. I do not intentionally make myself sad. It just IS. I have been this way as long as I can remember… Even as a young child, I would greet the day not with a smile, but […]

A Letter to You
By Jane Tanfei|Mar 21 2013 | Thankful Thursday, Thoughts, Writings
Dear family, friends, and acquaintances – I am writing this as a blanket answer to that question you have always had, “Why is Jane so strange?” I believe I finally have an answer for you: the Autism Spectrum. I have always suspected that my brain is wired differently or “wrong”, and the reactions I receive […]

Wonders at the Wonder Bread…

I had a relatively disturbing dream last night: I was shopping at a discount Wonder Bread factory store in the town I used to live in. As I was walking through the parking lot, I happened to glance over at a car full of people and noticed that the people in it were various Star […]

How to Accept Your Life…
By Jane Tanfei|Sep 18 2012 | Metaphysical Discussion, Thoughts, Writings
So, yesterday, I was thinking about how difficult it is at times to accept one’s current life – mistakes and bad experiences included. I was looking critically at the various aspects of my life which I feel are out of whack, then the aspects of my life which I feel are great. I started to […]

The Business of Being – ‘Black’ Edition
By Jane Tanfei|Aug 31 2012 | Curiousity, Rant, Thoughts, Writings
All right, folks, I wasn’t going to write anything about this “race” stuff anytime soon, but there have been several conversations in the past couple of weeks that have struck a chord with me. I’ve had to explain my position thoroughly and clearly multiple times. I had decided it was just a coincidence and there […]

Just Be.
By Jane Tanfei|Aug 08 2012 | Metaphysical Discussion, Rant, Thoughts
The thing that is bothering me today is the sexualization of females. It is disheartening, disturbing, and disgusting to me. I look at female musicians and a large majority of them choose to post images of themselves scantily-clad, in provocative and suggestive poses, with “come hither” looks on their faces. It’s so frustrating. I understand […]

Love.
By Jane Tanfei|Jul 26 2012 | Metaphysical Discussion, Thoughts
Today I am wondering: when I feel the varied emotions which can be collectively called “Love”, what am I feeling? According to the Ancient Greeks, there were four main types of love: Agape – unconditional and selfless love, does not require reciprocation. Eros – passionate love, as for one’s mate, requires reciprocation. Philia – companionate […]

Presence at Present…
By Jane Tanfei|Jul 17 2012 | Metaphysical Discussion, Thoughts
Lately, I’ve been working on being aware of the moment I’m in. What I mean is that when I catch myself fixating on past mistakes or fantastical futures, I make a conscious effort to pull myself back to the present. It is surprisingly difficult to do so. A lot of the time, I don’t even […]
