It's official. Yes, I have officially found the world's most frightening feeling. It's the feeling you get after that first conscious step to letting down your guard. Maybe this isn't scary to everyone, but when you're a girl like I am, and you've just recently eliminated your secret life and you've spent the last 5 years building up an internationally acclaimed emotional barrier...well? what do you expect? I'm scared shitless and unless I do some deep breathing, I'm going to fuck this one up. That's not the risk I'm trying to take, I'm just trying to be more open to the possibilities. Honestly, I'm loving some of the possibilities.
It's time to leave Chicago. Mari, as always, graciously let me storm her life. Alejandro as well. The amount of times I've spent on their couch is ridiculous and I adore them for their support in my stupidity and their ability to put my in my place. Mari and Alejandro, thank you. Not just for the weekend, for the years.
It was so nice to see everyone. Solid time with hannah, erin, matt birthday awesome, tracy and the steves. It's sad to be leaving everyone and I'm far more broken up than I had hoped (a sign of human emotions?) but I never show these things. I know what I'll miss out on and it's sad days. If ever there were people you should know, it's my friends. My friends are smart, funny and will drink you under the table.
Onward to Maryland.
Then some Spain.
