so it's been two years since my uncle took the lives of two of my cousins and then took his own life.
two years since all the sadness, tragedy, and overall devastation.
it's wierd, this summer has been triggering. the same people are visiting again, it's that same weather, than same time of year.
but things are actually so, so different. thank goodness.
i'm trying really hard to come out of my financial hole. i feel more motivated to do what i need to do to finish school. i just want september to be a fresh start, a clean slate, like last year. this year i won't be in rome, sadly, but i can have a new beginning right here in philly. no more school holding me back or hanging over my head. i can't wait. i'm ready to move on to new things, see what opportunities are out there. i'm ready to travel some more, and hopefully my finances will be looking up and i'll be able to leave and explore a bit.
being in love is amazing, by the way. it's scary and hard but so, so good. i love co-existing. i love taking care of each other. i love giggling and enjoying ridiculous shit that only we would enjoy together. i love our connection. i love falling asleep holding my sweetie and waking up to sweet little kisses. eeeeeeee!
