things that have brightened my terrible day:
-hopeful e-mails from my dad sending me links to the hotel my parents will be staying at in beijing next week 'just in case.'
-deciding that i am going to go surprise them there for father's day and all the other holidays i've missed over the last eight months.
-out-of-the-blue e-mail from richard dienst that made me realize i need to appreciate this more. all of it.
-back-to-back hot water music and fortunato songs on a mixtape from 2002.
-'and every time you hear this song be sure you're not alone'
-calling jake to tell him i'll be in khorat tomorrow and hearing, for the first time in too long, a voice that sounds genuinely happy to hear from me.
i'm back in bangkok; nothing here has changed. my life's kind of a mess. i never realized traveling could leave me feeling so utterly exhausted, both physically and emotionally. there's too much to say and i don't know how to say any of it.
