Yo Yo to the Ru Ro
So I was listening to Rusted Root at work today, and it was almost too much to handle. I would just think about all the little things that we used to do during each song. Like when Faith I Do Believe would really kick in and Jordan would drop to his knees and his hair would go crazy. Or during Ecstacy when we would all scream at the top of our lungs at the end. Or during Send Me On My Way when we would all hold hands and dance in a circle. I would give anything for one more night with the old schoold crew, and the new school crowd, no expectations, just everyone dancing their fucking hearts out until it literally hurts to breathe. I can't tell you all how much you mean to me, but you all have saved me in many ways.
Being in Scotland and seeing people again was so amazing. It was wonderful to just all be able to hang out. I am so glad that the trip was so low key. We took our time, checked out different parts of the city, but best of all, just hung out and talked. And I so love the fact that there is no need for us to catch up. We can just hang out, and talk about whatever. I don't feel the need to fill you all in on everything that has happened to me. If it comes up in conversation, then it comes up. But I never felt disconnected to the point that the only way we could reconnect would be to fill each other in. Does this make sense? I just love that we are all so close. Sometimes it really blows my mind how amazing you all are, and how I found you at such a young age. But I knew from the start that you would all remain a part of my life forever. I remember thinking to myself when I was 14 that I was so thankful to finally find people that understood me and my family. So thanks for that.
Anyway, being back in New York feels good. Feels a lot better than it has in a while. Nothing has changed except for my mental state. But that is all it really takes. So I am going to start actively seaching for a new job now...that should be fun. And Stephenie just moved to Brooklyn, and I always have her and Oscar to escape to. I have to say, Stephenie is really amazing. I wish you all could meet her. She means so much to me.
Peace out my peeps.
Love,
Aaron
