Yesterday afternoon I left a worcester that was still filled with gray and rain, but as I drove south the sun finally began to poke through the clouds. It instantly had an enormous effect on my mood; by this time I felt like I simple needed sunlight. The amount of rain Ive had to endure recently has just been absurd. So that was pretty much the turning point.
The whole day seemed scripted or something the way it unfolded, and was filled with a bunch of completely crazy coincidences. As soon as I got home I was at DJ's hanging out, and within 1-2 hours I ran into Kai, PJ, Jafar and Sam completely randomly on the street as we were walking to the mall (they drove us the rest of the way there).
And then later that evening during my long, long walk home under the stars I thought of the call I had been waiting for for the past few hours, and I said to myself out loud something like "Yeah, this would be a damn good time for you to call..." and then like magic within twenty seconds of me saying that it happened. That walk was incredible.
Then, right as I was crossing the railroad tracks immediately before my house, I somehow ran into two of my friends from Laurelton Hall who were driving by. Now even if you ignore the fact that this was happening at some ungodly hour, this is the kind of thing that does not happen near my house. My house is not on the way to anywhere. I guess they were up to sneaky bussiness or something. This was crazy coincidence numero tres, all on my first day back. My mind can still barely comprehend.
Today was pretty much yesterday part two. Hung out with DJ, Sarah and Katie, all of whom I love. We bought two pumpkins and tried to have a carving party, but we only made it to the planning stages. It was a completely perfect fall day, and I was ridiculous amounts of happy. The sky and the air were all fucking amazing. It was like the weather and I were having make-up sex. Its weird because I've come back from college many many times before, and this summer was the first time I feel like I left with a really sour taste in mouth, yet I dont think I've ever felt happier to be back in Milford. The past two days have been one continuous wave of nostalgia; Im overwhelmed with all the memories I have collected in this place going right back to when I was born. I feel like all my memories and I are separated by space rather than time. I have returned to my origin and I'm immersed in all of them.
