Too much
Sometimes there's just too much to say. October has been a ridiculously full month. So much going on inside and outside my head. It's been a month for making and losing friends. I thought I was ready to give up summer and go back into the theater, and found that a battle on my hands. The return to darkness, and the return to commitments (however fun they are), and other issues hit me like a ton of bricks.
See, a friend from college died a couple of weeks ago. It really threw me. I haven't seen him around for a few years, and I'm thankful that Facebook gave us a chance to reconnect at least superficially. I loved his funny updates and photos of his amazing mountain adventures. Of course I'd meant to write personally and catch up, but never did. I knew I'd have lots of chances to run into him sometime at a theater event. Years would go by between run-ins and I'd still be excited to see his friendly face. I'm terribly sad I'll never get that chance again. The memorial was very moving, very necessary, and I'm glad I went.
