I moved to Durham, North Carolina last week. Surprise?
I kind of feel broken in half here. I don't have a job. I don't have an apartment. I am staying with friends. I am here to start a new life but it is frustrating. I sometimes feel like screaming or crying. I sometimes feel very serene. Not sure what to make of this. Been thinking about my past life back in Indiana a lot of really letting go. I had no idea it would be so difficult.
I have left the problems of my family behind, I have left behind acquaintences and friends, perhaps a lifetime of complacency and constant visual reminders of my past to attempt something better. Durham is amazing. North Carolina is beautiful. I am with people who care about me here. I am also surrounded by complete strangers. I don't think anyone has written a song to sum this up, but I'm flipping through my mp3s trying to feel something.
Snakes on a Plane comes out Friday and we have tickets.
Why does it seem like everything is spinning a little out of control?
Maybe I will post that I got a job soon. And an apartment. And time to breathe.
