dont worry danny floyd it seems like everyone is going through so much shit i guess that what comes with finally leaving the teen years if you ever want to talk give me a ring
i think ultimately, the problem we're all facing is that growing up is really hard, and a lot of growing up is thrown at us in these couple of years. and those of us who go away to school sort of span two homes.
do risd students all go home for summer? or do a lot of people tend to stay in providence? a lot of macalester students stay in the twin cities and don't even realize how great the cities are until they've lived here without schoolwork (including yours truly).
so if it helps, you're not the only one wondering where home is. when i visited atlanta a few weeks ago, i was sort of frustrated and hated everything and i didn't feel at all welcome.
A lot of my friends are staying there. But I feel like I have different feelings about goign home, and different reasons, so it's sort of a complicated thing.
Everyone goes through this phase. I went through it last year when there was a sudden onslaught of new high school graduates all over the place and I was the only one who didn't know/care about ANY of them. I feel totally out of place at any Decatur gathering now, and I would simply rather... not. Not participate, not care, not leave downtown. It's a weird feeling, but I think it's pretty common...
danny- i know how you feel. it's so weird, because while providence really feels like a place to call home for a while, it's not home. and i know it must be hard for you to feel like this about decatur because you're such a home body. i have found that the people here have changed and i am running out of friends. i have been spending a lot of time at home with my family. it's creepy- this point in our lives, because we are not sure where home is. i feel often like i am in the middle of something and that i don't know what i am waiting for... i know that you'll get out of your slump and have a great summer. i was really depressed when i first got home, too. i'm going to providence on the 28th and then i am off to italy on the 1st- but please call me if you want to talk... and write me a letter! i miss you -beabs
ps- i am home all of august! i will come visit. or maybe if you want to get away you can bring the buick up. xoxo
