I love the World

Something I stumbled upon but made sense to me

"It’s not that I feel alone
because I have no friends.
I have lots of friends.
I know that I have people who can
hold me
and
reassure me
and
talk to me
and
care for me
and
think of me
but they can’t be inside my head
with me all the time
for all time."

Recap

A lot has happened in the past week. The job i'm working on has turned into a complete shit storm. And I couldnt have left to go home at a more inconvenient time. But one thing I have learned, especially working where I do, is that you cannot let work come before family. So I said fuck it. I'm leaving at the worst possible moment and I'm flying back to see my parents. And i'm so glad I did. They are amazing and the older I get, I realize how much life and character they have. We went to see The Boss, Red Rocks, Rocky Mountain National Park and Estes Park. Along the way, we discovered that my dad is a clone of Michael Scott from The Office - well to some degree...but it brought many great laughs. It was great to be back at my apartment and in my own surroundings. Not to mention, my plants are still alive!! Being gone the majority of the past two months has felt like such a whirlwind. I've learned to appreciate certain things...especially my friends and family. Getting to see familiar faces back home was so comforting. It made all the stress disappear. And I've also learned that I can get by with very little and I really dont need much after living out of a suitcase for a month. Weee! I realize I''ve had some ups and downs especially but I know in the end everything will work itself out somehow or another. I'm trying really hard to take one day at a time. I can only do so much until certain things are out of my control. And if i don't have control of those around me, then there's nothing I can do about it....and thats when I hope for the best. I'm really looking forward to this project finishing up and getting back HOME ao I can plan a VACATION!! Tropical. Sun. Music. Book. No Cell Phone Service. Suggestions??

Dear Trish:

On a mission in the Mission

I'm in San Francisco for the weekend in hopes to find the necklace I posted the other day. See below. And wish me luck. Went to a park today filled with lots of different people enjoying their Saturday afternoon. Tight rope walking, playing musical instruments, eating, drinking, laughing, small groups, large groups, genuine quality time. Looking around, I tried to imagine myself there, in the moment and it was effortless.

I started reading A New Earth this afternoon. It was recommended to me last week when I was feeling really unsure about my current path. I'm really looking forward to diving in and discovering what's inside. Not trying to sound philosophical and cliche, I think it will be a positive influence for me.
