the stars for the sea are the same for the land, and we came to learn the sea.
Things are pretty cool!
I graduated from high school, how bizarre.
Been seeing lots of friends all the time, and doing silly things with them. I like small groups and am really enjoying just hanging around on porches and drinking beer, kitchen floor picnics with TABOO!, smoking in playgrounds and sliding down slides and running around, or goofing around in treehouses until it got all weird, haha.
High school's over, and for so long it was hard 'cause I felt pulled along, out of breath. But I feel like I can finally get my feet under me. I can stand here and take a deep breath and look around, laugh with friends, evaluate what's going on around me and understand things better.
I still get upset sometimes, and things aren't perfect, but I think they're not supposed to be. I wish we had all the answers, but we don't and that's okay, as long as we keep looking.
It's strange feeling like a real person sometimes, thinking about college and being on my own, and then after!? I expected to feel so much more sad than I did about leaving L-S, but I'm fine. I have the summer with everyone and all the time in the world after that with people I care about.
Growing up? I can feel it more lately, it feels easier. But maybe that's just because I'm not really forced to actually go anywhere yet. Brendan (yeah, name drop!) and close friends are helping so so much. Dealing with the tougher things sucks, but we have to and it means we are real.
Looking forward to trips and things! New York City on Saturday - Brendan, MoMA, Josh Ritter. Delaware in August with the Gilroys.
I've been going through lots and lots of old pictures online...
I stole a bunch of them from various people. In no particular order:
