2009-2010

I was just thinking about how I’ll turn 20 tomorrow. It blows my mind that things are the way they are right now. I don’t mean that anything incredibly significant is happening. Things are just different. Life is different. I couldn’t have imagined last year that things would be the way they are right now. And that’s the beautiful, scary, exciting thing. Every so often I find myself thinking, “how are things going to be this time next year?”, and whenever it comes around I’m always wonderfully surprised. Always. I still hurt every now and then. I feel nostalgic. I get short of breath when my mind flickers through hard times, and even happy times. But, I’m learning how to stop and catch my breath; it’s a good feeling. Circumstances, people, ideas, everything is continually changing. Change is hard. Change is good. Change is beautiful. Oh, and for my birthday Jim bought me The Collected Poems of Syvlia Plath, my favorite author. He took me to the bookstore and told me to pick one out(cute, right?). So, of course she was the first choice. I’ve already read Ariel, The Bell Jar, and the unabridged journals; I just need to add them to my book collection.

Tomorrow calls for Tucson. Sunday calls for Baja.

Cheers.

Bonne nuit.

Monday morning.

 It’s Jael and Laeti’s 18th birthday and I feel both happy/sad. Even though I’m only two years older than them, I’ve watched them grow up and I’m really proud of the people they’ve become and the great people I know they will continue to grow into. So, on that note, happy 18th birthday. Ciao!

A playlist I just finished. It’s short. But, I really dig it and I think it’s quite good.
