plate-glass reflections
sitting in 9115, which is quite possibly by now my favourite place on campus (it's a conference room in the top corner of gates that has a view of 10 or more pittsburgh neighbourhoods), is a good time for being reflective about this city.
i think i am burned out on it the same way i am burned out on being a student. it's not like there's nothing new to see and explore, but all the fun has gone out of it, like a relationship that you've stopped getting any personal growth out of.
every vacation i take, whether it's to boston, california, or any other random place, is always like a great cloudiness has left my mind, like for some reason i can't ever feel free or safe while i live here. i think it's all built-up association; there's too much pain, too much figuring myself out, tied into my mind's representation of pittsburgh, and not enough simply enjoying myself.
in the ten minutes i took to write this a thick fog and a downpour rolled in from over oakland, turning the cityscape into yellow-grey silhouettes.
