'beautiful day'

u2

itouch me
take me to that other place
teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case...

t's a beautiful day
don't let it get away.

[truly.]


I had every intention on going down the hill to do some major editing on a book I'm making.
I got a little distracted when I got to the main campus...



I was thinkin' last night while figuring out my game plan for the next couple weeks. there are places and people in our lives that have changed us, obviously, and places and people that we feel most like ourselves at or with.

last month I was told that I can't come back to "my" place.

I think part of what scared me most when I was told that was that I wouldn't be able to keep that part of me that was born and thrives there alive, once I couldn't return.

but after lots of thinking and redefining, I realized that maybe part of what strength is being able to take feelings of "home" and what it's provided you wherever you go--not just constrained in some physical area.

it looks like I'll actually be working with a really good friend from school this summer and bringing that part of me I found 3 summers ago to a new place.
it's scary to think about.
it still hurts to know I'm not allowed to go back with everyone else to a comfort zone.
but most of all
I'm just excited to see what comes next.
