On growing up
I cut my hair, Something needed to change. And while a trim and a shave are rather superficial, I feel I am growing up. A release of vanity. A spunky edge. I have been in a new relationship that has helped me how repressed I am. How it is so easy for me to let my needs fall to the wayside. How completely out of touch I have been with what they ( Read more... ) -

read post is all mood
I’m back in Ithaca, the apartment is great. I feel quite grown up and overwhelmingly content, but still I’m missing something.

wandering mind
Does a story lose half its value if it’s told a second time? Are recycled conversation insincere even if the topic strikes your fancy? I picked wild blackberries and wished the grapes ripe this afternoon. Talked into the early night with Christine. How deep are my roots, when friendly faces feel superficial?

ready to drop off some baggage
So this morning I find myself awake,the sun rises over the dome of the rock, from the roof of the hostle we are less then a thousand yards away from all these holy places. It seems slow this morning, still not quite sure of where I am. We left the rest of the group lastnight at the airport and came back this way with dan in his rent-a-car. Things ( Read more... ) -

bags packed and tummy filled
I feel like there is no middle ground between seeing this journey I'm beginning as an epic adventure, and downplaying it as next to nothing. Both feel silly and incomplete, I guess I'm leaving tomorrow but I can hardly believe it. I can't think of any other time I've been this excited and had such little clue as to what I should expect. At the ( Read more... )
