These Words
We've been talking in Psychology about midlife transistions and looking back at your life and wondering what it all meant. What was it worth? What did you accomplish? Walking out of the classroom I knew that I was right where I needed to be. I'm so glad I made this bold step. I'm so glad that I'm thriving in such a wonderful environment. And fall was everywhere as Andy and I walked to CVS in the brigtest yellows, reds, and oranges. Every time I walk back home on O Street, I stare up at Healy tower, and I can't help but break into a full-blown smile. I'm here. I love it. And talking to my Psych. professor today was so refreshing. I can't believe I'm doing so well. Not that I didn't think that I would, but I never knew what an experience it would be. Winning the Big Hunt last weekend and celebrating with everyone at the Tombs. Sam's birthday this weekend and LuLu's. Today was exactly what I needed. And things are just progressing nicely and accordingly in step with the acquisition of time given and spent. And this weekend it will all be over and we'll see where this is going. It's moving in the right direction, no doubt. And think about how it all started. At first I was so scared to let it in. But it's fun and it makes me laugh until my ribs hurt and you've tackled me onto the floor and we're not breathing. The silliest things too. And I was so glad when you said it made you happy that we could talk about all these things past and present, because I've always valued good conversation. Depth. Brunch and dinner weren't as bad as I joked. I actually loved the surprises and how proud you seemed to hold on to me.
I've memorized your footsteps, because when I heard them I lifted my weary head from a textbook and saw you approaching with a smile.
I never thought things would move so quickly, so beautifully as they have, and I've only been here a little over two months. Everything I've done so far has been right, right for me, right now. I'm so excited for home in two weeks, but I'm content for now with knowing that I'm always right where I need to be.
