Humbled
First, happy fucking friday to all!
It's funny how for the past three of four days i have been saying to myself, "Erin, you should journal today" and this is finally the time where I decide to write. Strangely enough, it now seems difficult to think of something specific to write about.
I think lately many transitions have been occuring in friends lives, family's lives and also in my own. I know this is a minute by minute occurrence in all respects, but the changes recently have been incredibly ginormous. (Gigantic and enourmous smooshed into one word).
As a side note, meeting new people in a new city can truly make you come face to face with your ideiosyncrasies or routine habits that we all have, but each person has a different one. Mine is repeating the same lines and phrases often. For instance, "Happy Fucking Friday!" or "ginormous" or "wonderful" or "fabulous" or "lovely." My dear friends Josefina and Paola love when I say these sayings, which I enjoy, but I can't control it.
Anyways, changes. I have friends that are doing "adult-like" things such as get married, talking about getting pets (I can hardly take care of my bamboo plant) and moving to great locations around the world.
I have a friend who may move back to Minnesota for a year and return to school, possibly in Milwaukee. Now, let me explain since being there doesn't appear to change anything since I am in Chicago. But, I have been thinking a lot about where I am going to be in the next year. There is a chance that I will be in Milwaukee, which would mean we could be living not only in the same state, but the same city as well. How exciting would that be!?
I love being in Chicago and currently, this is where I am supposed to be right now. But, not seeing friends for long periods of time, or having to wait patiently for my dear, sweet Bob come visit for a fabulous weekend. It is difficult, but you make it work because there are not other options at this point.
So, here are my Deep Thoughts tonight By: Erin
It does not matter where a person may live; whether it be in a city, a small town in Northern Minnesota or in the deserts of New Mexico. As long as you are surrounded in love by those people, the notion of them being so far away only solidifies that there is that much more love because it can travel such long distances. It does, however, bring a peace knowing that someone I love is driving his love to my apartment. He makes my house a home.
For that, I am humbled.
