Liiiiife...
Holy shit guys. A lot has happened.
I don't really know what's happening, because honestly, even after a month of living in Santa Barbara it all still seems very surreal.
Yes yes, I'm meeting awesome people, bad people, weird people, etc. I'm working, getting shit done, going to school because I want to and not because I have to. But still, I'm on my own. How weird is that?
Just the other week, for example, I felt like going to LA, so I woke up one morning, hopped on a train, and I did. WTF?
I moved up to serving at Chili's because I impressed the managers so much. And after just two shifts at to go I got a raise. I think it might be the new surroundings, but seriously I'm thriving. I will admit that there are the nostalgic moments that kick in. And this past week has been kind of a downer. But when I step back and look at the big picture, it all seems ok.
I can thank Sam for inspiring my good feelings. ...Which is also weird. Sam? Making me feel good? Whhaaa? But seriously, last night he said, probably, the most beautiful thing I've ever heard someone say in person. Best part about it: I was sober (for once down here, I swear) to listen to it.
All in all, things have been really well. I do miss you all though. I can at least look forward to seeing Caitlin soon. :D
I miss you guys, and I hope everything is going well with most of you and your new lives. <3
