(no subject)
I am wearing a bright red skirt and a striped man's shirt that reminds me of a train conductor. The air is cool enough so that we shut all the windows last night and switched off the fan for the first time in a long while. We pulled the blankets up to our chins. He was gone for a little while and in that time I realized a few things: my family is a beautiful unit that I will always return to, he is a tremendous friend and I am impatiently awaiting some things to come. It is not that I am unhappy here, I just crave newness in the form of streets I have never walked upon, cafes where not a single face is familiar to me and water that runs from the faucet that makes my skin feel different. I would like to see how I'll do. Each day I am getting older, I can feel it. It does not frighten me. Tonight we will drive to a city that is not here and I am excited for that adventure.
