homesick

[jqmark]

I miss SF and CA, I miss my friends there, I miss working at the DNA, I miss my shitty apt on Golden Gate at Market. I miss coffee at Brainwash or walking through Hayes Valley pretending like I am not going to get Powell's chicken. I miss heading up Haight to see Debra and Soupy. I miss being paid to travel all over the bay area for Ticketmaster

I hear you, my quiet friend. FWIW I miss you, too, and I miss the San Fransisco that was.

We're still here.

Thanks

I need to get this nostalgia out of my system. try to start living more for the future, just been a really tough year I had a good run of 3 or for so I shouldn't complain but damn it's hard to re assimilate in to my life after the beating of the last year. Seriously good to hear you in my head. Whats life like for you these days? MuchLove

Oh man, do I know what you mean. Remembering what's been good, real good, and craving it. Acknowledging that I'm sure as shit not there right now, but wanting to figure out how the pieces might fit going forward.

My heart hurts for your rough year. If you want to talk about what has been hard I'm here; I'll totally PM you and we can have awkward phone conversation friend therapy :). It's been a rough one for me, too, though I have plenty not to complain about as well. But still, the darkness threatens to drag me down completely. And I can't seem to logic my way out of this one...

Let's see if I can squash this into a haiku, shall we?
Seattle? Priced out.
To Whidbey! But, no work here.
I totes miss my friends.

... well, that's a bit of an oversimplification, but there you go.

Sweet Haiku! It's rough not having friends around. My friends have always been spread out but I was always close to some of them. People underestimate the value of having a support network of people you are close to that are not family. When that is missing it seems we slip in to nostalgia which I think helps hold us back. I just started re reading the power of now which is a bit of cheesy self help book but has some really good points
about removing our selves from the past to make the most of the present.
It's a lot harder than it sounds.

legs have betrayed me
lost many people this year
I'll walk out again
